I finally had a gun failure that caused me to not to be able to shoot my Emag at teh end of a game. I have been using AGD guns since 92 and this is the first time EVER that I could not at least shoot my gun at the end of a game.
I have broken off grip frames, bent rails into banana shapes and many other kinds of breakage but I was ALWAY able to at lest fire my gun.
Well at the Orlando Cup in a game VS Havoc the gun didnt just break it broke real good right after the start of the game. Gun Chronoed fine and fired about 10 shots at the start and died.
Fiddled with the M / E mode and thought maybe it was boly stick or broken main spring.
After the game, I get the valve out and I see the on off pin and sheared off and that the Clevis on the solenoid plunger was broken.

Now as near as I can tell, the broken chunk of pin locked up my trigger from working in manual mode and the broken clevis. I have no idea how that happened, never have seen a failure like that but the on/off pin thing I have seen before. But it was all good in about 5 minutes with a few new parts.
Kind of a bummer to be honest
Oh well Crap happens then you step in it :D
