whoops your totally right airsoft guns do use rheostatic braking, just to be clear, you can also brake DC motors with a polarity switch. braking is bad for motors, but not such that that it renders the motor useless in a very short period of time, yes its best not to have braking enabled but if someone is using it its not going to kill there gun for a very long time, I have never seen a motor fail from braking in the 7 years ive been playing, and if anything a quick run on a comm lathe every year or every other year will sort everything out before you get to the stage where the motor wont run.
