I'm wondering if this "myth" started because of how we've had a few instances of broken dart posts and ARs on stock Alpha Troopers.

But this doesn't have anything to do with removing the air restrictor, and these blasters were also stock so I'm not sure. That being said, it could have brought up this mentality of "well if it can get damaged with the AR still in, just think of what will happen when the AR is out".

Take that with a grain of salt because that's my own speculation. Whenever I hear the words "EAT" and "damaged", that's what I picture: broken dart posts. I can count a few instances of this occuring with people's unmodified EATs. One was back in 2017. I think another incident happened early this year or last year. I've never had issues with mine.
