Is it possible for a XMag to shoot... screws and survive?? The answer is YES!!!

[Hellaspaint]

Ok, guys that is not a joke, it is a real incident!!!!

Look what happen to me:
I was playing with my Xmag and the VL12 v as a hopper!!
I opened the hopper to reload and i find the paddle free inside the loader. I stopped playing immediately, exit the field and seat on a table to fix the loader. The first think was to find the screw that holds in place the paddle. It was not in the loader!!! :eek:

"OMG, i shoot it, to someone", i said. The good is that nobody took the screw on it.
Then i took off barrel and breech and look for any damage inside.
Thank's to God, everything is OK, the gun is shooting, as always, perfect, no scratch in the barrel, no damage. :wow: :wow:

Lucky man, was there any holes in the air ball field? I bet that would go right through a mask too :wow:

[teufelhunden]

No it wouldn't. It wouldn't be able to get to a high enough velocity cuz all the air would escape around it.

[Hellaspaint]

Yes, yes very lucky. I was in a wood area.

I do not know if the screw was shoot alone or together with a paintball.
I do not know if there is enough space for both. The screw that holds the paddle is very small.

I forget to mention that i examine also the ball detent..... no scratch!!

it probably fell out of yuor barrel, when u had it slighty tilted down. u probably would have noticed all the gas escape and a screw go a few feet.

[Hellaspaint]

Mmmm, who know's!!!!!

anyway..... it is a very noticeable incident!!!!

When I read the title, I thought you were doing something stupid and juvenile. Thank God that it wasn't on purpose! Did you fix the Rev? Heack, just get a HALO B.

[toymyster]

That just happened to me today!!! Yes, your gun will survive!!! Luckily, nobody got hurt over here either!!! But yes, it does happen, and the gun does survive!!!

[elpimpo]

like BE4life said, it probly just fell out with out u shooting it

[graysonp]

Dude that sucks. But I bet it'd be kinda funny to see a screw go flying across the field at 300 fps...


And this may be a bit too off topic, but elpimpo, doesn't your sig have one too many "nu"s in the batman theme??? :confused:

[silentdeath55]

yes, elpimpo, your sig does have on to many "nu's" in it.

[elpimpo]

are you sure?

[Empyreal Rogue]

Too..... many.... exclamation... points..... *passes out*

[Won Hunglo]

Thank God no body you were shooting at got screwed. :argh:

Yes i fixed the Rev, i replaced the damn screw with a new and put some red Loctite 271 to ...be sure for ... next time!!!

I have a Halo B, but when we are playing in the wood, i prefer something light and compact!!

Now mags are screwguns as well as nailguns. *grins*
