Considering they keep the gun from coming apart and possibly exploding, I don't think so
.Buy a couple of NTN 6820ZZ bearings.
Now, THOSE are expensive...
(don't forget the $20 shipping:laugh2
Really, you are comparing a push pin to a precision made bearing ? And you can buy the exact same bearing on Amazon for $305.00 with free shipping.
The Kel Tec push pin is nothing to brag about, they are made kind of cheesy. I think they would bend fairly easy. The reason I need one is because the spring at the end that snaps the pin in place has already lost it's tension.
I realize that I am making to big a deal out of this, so I will be ordering in the morning.

So the pins are $10/each plus freight? Make them yourself if you can do it for less, there is engineering time behind all parts. Shipping parts takes time and materials. Order some other bits to ease the pain of the $13 freight.
People buy 0.5L bottles of water (3.78L in one US gallon) for $1-1.50 all the time here...hell, some is even right out of our damned public water supply in Dallas as printed on the label!! These are the same folks that complain about $4/gal for gasoline.

Actually, I was comparing gun parts and I can't believe nobody asked: "what in blazes could a 125mm bearing possibly have to do with gun parts?
"It actually is a gun part.
They look like this:
Finally something that can make the .223 round useful

...not compared to feeding one!:laugh2:.Mr. Poobah, I have lightened up. Guess I had a bur in my saddle that day. Wow, a "Mini" minigun. I bet the take down pins on that bad boy are expensive...
Some math just for fun:
2000 rounds of 5.56= $700
At the 'slow' speed of 2000 rounds per minute....
If it was a hooker, she would cost $42,000 per hour to have sex with
