Ball pen makers routinely test their springs to 100,000 cycles and they seldom fail.

And to think the nut-case gurus say we have to change all of the "high quality" springs in our guns once a day and twice on Sundays! (Seriously, one "expert" advised changing all the springs in a 1911 type every 100 rounds!!!! I hope the spring makers pay him well.)
