If the user is also running lipos, I can't see the contacts lasting more than a couple of months. So either disable the EBB, or fire in full auto with burst. Installing a mosfet would be the best route as you won't have to change the way you use the gun, and having to disable the EBB.
Another possible route would be to install a high torque neo motor, which may be far better-equipped to pull the EBB parts back if all else was left equal. This might be cheaper (especially pay-for-doc-labour-wise) than buying, installing, wiring a MOSFET, which even with a lot of power delivery could, I'm guessing, still yield a weak ferrite motor that sounds like a dying cat when firing

Lightening the EBB parts and greasing them up could help too.

I am currently doing a neo motor + lightening + greasing-the-blowback-parts job on my KA 556.
