She (superbolt) finally bit the big one :)

[LaW]

Well I'm not very upset about it. I'll be calling AGD to see what I have to do and whatever but just thought I'd show ya. I used it for a while. I've over stated before the amount of paint i've shot with it but accurately I would have to say the superbolt has seen about 6-8 cases... not completely positive. I kind of expected it to break sooner or later so I wasn't that suprised but I do think that they should be able to last a good deal of time before having to be replaced. I loved the superbolt while it lasted. I'll keep this updated on what happens with futre sb's I hope to own :)

OUCH



that hurts

[LaW]

I'm sure you can :) but I'm just going to send it in just incase they want to look at it or something. I'll let them fix it for me and whatever. If the feel that I should be charged and this is a wear issue then so be it I'll pay for it to be fixed but I guess i'll just see what they do about it.

I swear, you guys.

How did it feel when it finally broke?

[Kevmag]

did it break in a game?

Or were you just dry firing your gun. I guess I'm concerned about it flying out.

[InfinatyBPS]

Am I the only one that noticed that it seems that it broke on the same spot and in the same shape on all of the bolts?

[WickeDKlowN]

whoa, it does look like thay all broke in the same place and shape. must have been a manufacturing defect or sumptin like that

[LaW]

Some theories have to do with getting caught on the main body washer. But once it broke i was just dry firing with the barrel on and the 2nd shot she flew out :) I was like haha ... I laughed and shrugged and said "oh well"

[Croix71]

6-8 cases!! Can anyone beat LaW's long lasting Superbolt?

[LaW]

plenty of people :) that doesn't even count for the over 2+ cases worth of dry fires :)

[Wackomin]

It took me 4 shots and my sleeve went flying out of the barrel. It sucks because I ordered the bolt from New York and i need to send it back now.

[LaW]

send it to agd right?

well whatever i just don't mind because i have 2 stock bolts, one long nosed bolt, a stock foamie and an ans bolt :) it's not like it's going to hurt me to be without it for a week or two.

[X-Plosive]

16 cases of paint on my 1st superbolt...nearly 3 cases on my second.

[LaW]

well technically if i do recall they are supposed to last 6months with heavy use and up to a year with moderate use. Not sure what the standards are for the use but that's what i recall Tom or someone mentioning?? anyone??
