I understand exactly how springs work. Thanks for the animation.
Do you really think the engineers that designed them didn't take into account the maximum required compressive strength of a spring? If that is indeed the case then how could you trust them to design any other part of the gun?
There are many variables at work here. I tend to believe that a spring will operate properly when compressed within its limits of design and that the constant cycle of gaining and releasing energy is what causes the damage. But you continue to believe what you believe.
Also, in your picture, notice the spring is compressed to its maximum point and it is no where near the yield stress of the steel. So under static loading, as shown directly from your picture, the spring will not reach yield.
