i thought it was gonna make it after i hit the 15,000 cycle mark


guess not...


is there still a refund/exchange being offered?

bummer dude...


how long are the delrin parts supposed to last? I was under the impression that they weren't supposed to live forever...

that thing shot awesome when you let me try it out.

You guys planning on playing this weekend? i want to try my new Sterling out...

Well close to 15k is still good!

15k is late in the bolt life for a failre, but the bolt shows almost no wear (.1mm deep rings from the bolt spring that's all), wear parts usually show wear before they fail.

it did do a fine job of scaring the hell outta my cats when a little chink of delrin came ricocheting off the wall at them (they're both fine, and promptly began batting the chunk around, stupid felines....)

such is the way of life i suppose

i don't know if i am going to be able to make it this weekend, a client didn't send me a check i was expecting and my paintball funds really needed that grand....

agreed, it shouldn't have broken, but...

a) my barrel was off because i was running oil through my marker (after the fact i tried to slide the broken piece through my freak and it wouldn't pass the tip)

b) "projectile", in this case, refers to a piece of bolt that had just enough kinetic energy to lob 15 feet to the wall, defelect and land about 3 feet away. if the shard would have hit a person mid flight no injury would have ensued. (i know others have had slightly worse results)

while it worked, it was more the likely the best $50 i have spent on gear in a long time, and once the secret formula is reworked, i'll be at the front of the line for a new one.
