Whew. That was a long day. Anyone care to hear a story?
My friends and I left here around 11:45. We get up to the normal field around 1, after eating some fast food. Well, I didn't think about calling to ask if they were open, because they have been pretty busy the last few weekends. (They only open the doors if a group is reserved for 16 or more people. (They don't usually mind if we join in with the groups as walk-ons)) Well, apparently no one reserved the field. We're pretty mad that we all drove an hour out of the way, to find a closed field. We decide to go to a place that only I've been to before. It was about an hour from the field we were at. We agree, and drive there. We get there around 2. We go in, and pay for reg, paint, air, etc. At first, the guy was going to charge me 3.75$ for ONE double a battery. I needed six. No way I was going to pay that much. We settled on 5$ for 6 double as, and 3.25$ for a nine volt. (Warp feed, and Halo) So we unpack our gear, and everything is dandy. I go to get my HPA tank filled, and the fill nipple starts leaking badly. This happened before to a friend of mine a the same field. I think it is the way they flash fill the tanks so fast. I had to pay 15$ for a new fill nipple, and put that on my tank. That took a good 5 minutes. So, I finally grab my mag, and superglue my extra foamie back on. I forget that I have to wait a few hours for the superglue to dry, and pop off a few shots dry firing. No big deal. I had previously tinkered with the ULT, so I didn't know what to expect. It was shooting really fast! I liked how I had it. I go over to the chrono and pull the trigger. Nothing. It felt like the sear had pressure behind it, but it wouldn't shoot. I tried re setting the bolt, but nothing. *grumble grumble. I walk over to the pits, degass, and take out a ULT shim. No biggie. It works fine. Go to chrono again. Warp feed won't spin. It is wired via intiliifeed, so I figure one of the wires got knocked off, because my lazy *** didn't solder them. Walk back over to the pit, move a jumper, and adjust the vibration sensor. It spins when I shoot it. Good. Walk back over to the chrony. It seems that the warp isn't gripping the balls enough, and pushing them up into the breach. "@!#$!@#@!@#!#!#!#!~$@!#$!@#"
I say, "screw this". I grab my backup. The ion. I stepped foot on the playing field with a working gun at 4:30. Keep in mind We left my house at 11:45. The field **** down at 6. It worked fine all day. No problems. Oh, the irony. My friends were giving me so much crap for putting down the mag for the ion.
Now:
I just fixed the warp, it seems that my custom feed tube adapter was pinching the q-hose. I fixed this by removing the PVC adapter, and just taping the hose straight to the 90* feed plug.
I liked the responsiveness of the ULT tuned that high, but I couldn't get it to push the on/off I guess.
Oh, the extra fomie is no more. I should of let the glue dry. I guess I gotta buy a new one.
Ever have one of "Those days" Where everything just messes up? I played for about 2 hours total. :(
