Well it depends on what material the trigger block is made of, I know some airsoft plastics are more prone to heat than others. Clearly there was little arcing going on, but there was massive heat buildup. All that means is that the plastic had a low melting temperature, and the metal piece was just a very poor conductor, thus is built up heat very quickly. If he was doing long bursts it would definitely melt that thing.

Once again, solution: MOSFET or SW-COMP
Alternatively you could replace it with a G&P switch, they're pretty tough
