Simulator Straining

The training guns at my gunsmiths simulator go through a lot of trigger springs.  One a week for the one gun people generally choose.  Every two weeks for the one with the sights no one likes.

A spring a week?!

Yes.

Do the math.  An average day is 5 half hour sessions.  200 'shots' a session.  (Trigger pulls.  It goes fast when you don't need to reload magazines.)  Average.  1000 trigger pulls a day, 6000 a week.  Plus Sam and the apprentices mess around in there a LOT.  So the number may well be higher.

How many rounds do you go through on your Glock before you need to think about the spring?  120 boxes of ammo?

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
