Too loose/too tight can cause performance issues but it won't cause the piston to break. Sometimes you just get bad luck or the piston is bad quality. The shimming and AOE is just for better performance but if the gears break because of bad shimming the pieces can jam other parts and screw everything up.
What is the current set up? What is the strength of the spring, relative to the bb's feet per second, that you're using, with the piston that you've installed?
