Page 1 of 11  Mega-Piston Review Part II: Full Metal Teeth
In this continuation of the Mega-Piston Review, we test 3 pistons sporting full metal teeth for high power springs.
Introduction
As AEG power levels increase, plastic based pistons begin to reach the limits of their abilities and start to display reduced life cycles. Full metal pistons and pistons with full metal teeth offer added strength and durability to withstand the increased spring loads, but with the inherent drawbacks of increased reciprocating weight and sector gear wear. Despite these shortcomings, metal pistons may prove to be valuable in high power low rate-of-fire applications where sector gear wear is lessened. In this continuation of the Mega-Piston review, we look at 2 full metal pistons and a new innovative approach by newcomer DeepFire which combines full metal teeth with a nylon piston body to reduce piston weight.
