simple way to tell polycarbonate from POM... is it clear?

yes = poly carbonate.

no = another material, probably more suited to use in shear force conditions.

polycarb is terrifically strong... in 1 direction. you can hit it and it could probably take a lot of impacts before breaking, but you can't pull it or twist it, it shears a whole lot faster.

Theres tons of polymer blends being used in pistons... yours could be straight nylon, could be nylon reinforced with fiber, could be a few other materials too.
