Another one of our guys has the same va36 and has had more rounds through it than the m4 and it's still running strong.

They actually look pretty good where the contact is made inside the gearbox. I could imagine the outside part next to the selector plate maybe being the first thing to go if one were to drop the gearbox or something, but otherwise, pretty tough.
As far as your VA M4, the trigger assembly in the VA36 is going to be quite differently-shaped, and probably even made in a different factory, so it would be hard to compare them. My (limited!) experience so far has shown me that version 2 (M4) trigger contacts aren't as hefty and massive as V3 ones, I think the trigger assembly and its contacts in the VA36 will last quite a long time... I find a lot of small differences with the whole V3 gearbox in general impress me relative to the V2. I'm not experienced to know whether these design details make a big difference, but a bigger, bulkier trigger assembly, motor cage (makes pinion-bevel alignment a snap), bigger flaps for the spring guide, etc, make a good impression.
BTW, I think with the VA M4, any trigger problems should be dead obvious just from visual inspection. Should be an easy fix... And in my experience Toronto Airsoft has been quite accommodating with minor repairs of their products.
