Have had my WE M4 for a year and a half now.....gamed it and tinkered with it hundreds of times....no broken nozzle yet!
That being said, I wouldn't be too quick to blame the nozzle itself.....you should pull the whole bolt carrier out and ensure that the nozzle slide guides are intact on the bolt carrier itself. If the nozzle is free and swinging as the bolt is cycling then it won't matter how many, or what type of nozzles you throw in there; your gonna end up breaking something. Whether it be teeth on the nozzle or the hop up unit, something is going down and within a few mags!
2nd what are you using for propellant, is it green gas or propane, red gas maybe?? Did the original owner throw a different buffer spring in there?? Something that's more powerful than the stock buffer spring that requires metal upgrades??? Is the bolt the stock bolt, or is it a steel upgrade (steel is heavier). These are some questions that might have answers to why your gun is breaking down. But just note that if you plan on switching to a metal/aluminum nozzle, than your gonna need to upgrade your hop up unit eventually......the stock hop up is a softer metal that will degrade quickly with a metal nozzle....
All said though, my money is on the nozzle slide guides....they may well even be there but not locking the nozzle in place causing a shift in the nozzle when cycling the bolt....if those teeth don't line up on the hop up unit then its gonna get messy!
Try looking at the BCG, if unsure of what your looking at, google it.....if unsure of what you come up with or just feel uncomfortable than take it to a gun doctor.....hell take it regardless, my advice or anyone else giving advice haven't seen the gun and can't offer a 100% reliable solution.......a gun doctor may very wall can!
