Tore apart a nice Night Ops torso using the same plier method I’d had good success with previously.

I hope that means you had some success.
Had my first "damage" to a torso. Let my pliers slip a little and it stressed the waist line a bit and causes a bit of material displacement- fairly minor compared to other experiences I've seen.
I think the biggest note on the newer torsos is to make sure the pliers or snap rings are as deep in the socket as possible, and line it with a cloth or some such to mitigate concentrated pressure points.
It's odd to me that MTF changed the process knowing that popping torsos is pretty common among their faithful- unless, I guess, it was a factory decision and wasn't really up to them. I don't know how all that works.
