As well the mechanical blowback system places more resistance into the system and results in lower battery longevity as more power is required just to crank the mechbox.

My bolt has a metal piston, can't see it snapping, perhaps deforming or other internal failure, but she's been solid through numerous games, time will tell I guess.
