| I have never used a gas gun before. If I want to shoot Federal LE127 00 2 3/4" 1325fps 00 buckshot from this gun as a self defense load. Can I shoot low base, low power dove loads and these full power buckshot loads with the same light piston? Will it hurt the gun? |

It will wear it out faster if you use the light piston for the heavy load, because it will be cycled extra-hard.
ED- This guy has another opinion, but I'll run the most restrictive setting any semi will reliably cycle with... http://www.ak47.net/forums/topic.html?b=6&f=1&t=311133 |

What do you do if you are going to take a class that uses both birdshot and buckshot for training purposes? It seems silly to have a gun that needs a timeout just because the load is changed.
Most importantly, you will shoot the gun mostly with birdshot and the light piston. Do you 100% trust the gun to reliably function with the heavy piston and buckshot? Most people can not afford to shoot a gun too much with buckshot at nearly $1 per round. |

Most people can not afford to shoot a gun too much with buckshot at nearly $1 per round. The owners manual clearly states that the light piston is for up to 1.5 oz shells. Most 2 3/4 birdshot and buckshot wheight less than 1.5 oz. I have the light piston installed in my FN SLP 18". In fact Ive never installed the heavy piston. I just run 2 3/4 shells anyway... as I prefer more capacity, not more recoil.... 
So, I can shot RELIABLY 2 3/4 birdshot, 00 buckshot and 1 oz rifled slugs as I wish with the light piston. No need to change the piston. This is a non issue. |
