Monday I was out paintballing with my buddies when my mag developed a leak down the barrel. I oiled it up and tried different carriers on my level ten, removed a shim, - the works. All to no evail. Then I put it back to the way I had it before and walla! no leak.
Today we paintballed again, my mag was working like a charm for most of the day. I was really happy because I always seem to be having some sort of problem or another, such as the event mentioned above. Then after one of the last rounds it starts leaking down the barrel hard. I field strip it and what do you know the spring had snapped at the tip! :wow:
Has this happened to anyone else? Can anything be done to prevent it?

springs can and will go eventually

just replace it

was it the stock one or colored?

make sure your bumper is in place and intact.

It was the smallest spring that came with my lvl 10
My bumber is in place and intact
Must have been a fluke

Mine will start to leak for no go reason, and even spontainiously develope bolt stick, But I have never seen a spring break.

I busted a couple of the cut springs, but I have never had any trouble with "colored" ones. :D
