I don't see why not. You can see from the pic above that the rear retainer for the spring is pretty solid. Plus there's room for epoxy putty if you wanted to DIY and strengthen that area of the shell even further.

I agree, there will be Modulus Longstrike upgrade kits available soon, if they're not out already. Like you said, they'll probably start with springs, and graduate to metal bolt sleds and plunger tubes. Assuming it's popular and people actually buy the blaster.
