This means you will need to open up your gun and replace your piston head. The electrical smell might be from shards of your gears hitting exposed wire and causing interference/short circuiting. Take that shit apart and fix it.
Mechbox.com, google and YouTube are your friend.
You've got to be kidding because that sounds so stupid! If the oring came off the piston head, there'd be less resistance as there would be zero compression. Now if the oring is caught between the piston body and cylinder, then yes the motor would be working harder.

Bits of gears aren't going to suddenly cause cuts in the wiring and in turn cause shorts that arc and give off ozone (electrical smell). Cut wiring will cause a short, yes. A short will also cause the gun not to cycle. The ozone smell is from the motor.
