I.e. do you only go with a half tooth piston when those teeth of the sector gears will crash with them, and otherwise no harm done?

Half toothed pistons are for "helical" gears. The SystemA highspeeds are "all helical" which for reasons to which I have no idea are different, they are the standard size, just helical, so they can be used with standard full toothed pistons.
I looked at the modular gearset but it seems to be press fit together, don't want to go prying at it and possible break something.
On another note, DO NOT use SystemA bearing axle holes with HurricanE highspeed gears. I just stripped both the gear set and the pinion gear on my Magnum doing so. Swapped in the ICS stock bushings, a spare set of TM gears, and an ICS Turbo 2000 and the gun is running fine again.
