    Please help with some issues.

    Ok, I played in a 24-hour scenario over the weekend. I just put together my setup Thurday night and was giving it it's first run. I've got an RTPro HLPF with a warp, Intelliframe, and a 63/3000 flatline. I noticed a few issues with this beast and I was wondering if i could get some help with them.

    First: This beast is heavy. It's not bad if youlre holding it in a shooting position, but if you're just trying to walk around with it your arm is going to be in a world of hurt.
    My ideas are: I have 2 ideas about this one. I'm thinking that maybe I should run the tank remote, but I think this might throw of the balance of the gun too much. Secondly, I'm thinking that maybe if I attach a shotgun type sling to the site rail I can put some of that "walking around" weight onto my shoulder.

    Second: Here in Michigan it was rainy. This posed a problem for my warp setup. The hole in the top of the powerfeed ended up getting the first two balls in waiting a little mushy. I'm thinking that this wouldn't have been a terrible problem if I was running on a gravity feed (didn't hear anyone else complaining about it) but since the warp was pushing the balls into the breech, sometimes those first two broke, and othertimes they just got stuck together forcing me to push the first one down with my finger.
    My Ideas are: I can't really come up with a solution to this one. The only things I can think of is either cover that hole up with some teflon tape, or never play in the rain. If I cover it with teflon tape and my long parabolic powerfeed plug moves a little (it's very loose and it moves easily) then I'd have to blindly move it around trying to get a proper feed just by the feel of it.

    Any input on these issues is greatly appreciated.

    Edit: I can post some pictures if they will help.

    take a 10 rd tube, cut about 1 inch off, slit it down the middle. place it over the powerfeed.

      They used to have a product out for the powerfeeds which had an O-Ring and a piece of plastic similar to the 10 rnd tube. The O-Ring went between the power feed and marker body to cover the vents and the plastic covered the pwer feed hole. 10 rnd tubes will work well if you can get your hands on them. If any one knows where I can get some cheap please PM me. Thanks. I hope this helps you out.
