    We got our arses whooped at the tourny

    Allright, well, our first tourniment...we got killed. We only won 1 out of about 8 games. During which all of those, my Xmag wouldn't fire. I couldn't figure out what is wrong, I was shooting silver/black cased paint. ACE was off, but my gun would not fire. Like it didnt have enough pressure, even though my output was 800 and I had a full tank (68/4500 flatline) When I take off the breech it fires normally, but with the breech in it wont fire at all.

    Ok, so...
    Game 1 -
    We go up against some team that drove from Austin (they are actually a pretty good team) My 2 teammates get shot out, I'm the last one left, all 3 of their guys are rushing me, wide open. I try to shoot them, nothing comes out of my gun. I could have one this game for my team if my gun had worked.

    Game 2 -
    We win this one, and its the only one we win. Between the 2 games I switch LX springs, thinking it may ne a softer spring. Still doesnt work, our team is called. I just decide to go no gun. I get the flag, my teamate gets the last to guys out, we win. I'm thinking, ok 2 games, c'mon we're still in this, as long as my gun gets fixed.

    Game 3-
    We're up against Handsom Boys. My friends team. They have been playing for a while, they played in Mardi Gras, and they even beat Naughty Dogs. They are really good. So we know we have no chance, I thought I had my gun fixed. It didn't work. I got bunkers by Devin. (captin of that team)

    Game 4-
    Ok so we keep saying to ourselves, 'if we win the rest we have a shot at semi finals' My gun still doesn't work, my friend off Handsom Boys lends me his back up LED. I can't play with this gun if my life depended on it. I still give it a shot. We get whooped here, probably a 25-30 second game. My teammates Bushy starts acting up. And he loses his gun.

    Game 5-8
    We just lost spirit and got owned.

          Didn't you test out the gun before heading to the tourney?

            Yes, I shot a whole case, it worked like a dream. I have absolutly no clue why this happened.

              I'm someone reading your thread in the tech forum on your X..

              Was the reason it didn't work for you was because of the trigger adjustment? THe magnet was too close to the HES, so it did'nt fire?

              If this is true, couldn't you have just switched to manual mode and played just fine? That's the whole point of the E/Xmag...Isn't it?

              And I have to ask...Although it may be rude...DId anyone make fun of you when your $1000+ marker didn't work? Don't worry about it, it happened to me. I had my Sonic bushy (990$) and it wasn't working cause I had 600psi into it instead of 800psi.... It happens to the best of us..Although it is almost ALWAYS user error.

                if it's your first tourney then try not to take it so bad

                i remember my first tourney, middle of january, freezing cold, whole team using co2! we had like 3 hot gun penalties

                ended the day with 14 points after winning 2 of 6 games

                it was fun, and now we're placing in the top 5 in most tourney and making semis and sometimes finals

                      hhhhmmmmm...I did say that a eblade cocker was sweet, and wondered why it was a 10 year old using it.

                          Sorry to hear about your marker trouble

                          Three questions:

                          Did you ever figure out what it was?

                          Did you ever run it over to the AGD booth and have the guys look into it?

                          Did you have fun anyway?


                          AGD, where we are so good we can do it with only ONE tube!

                              Nope.

                              It was only a small local 3-man no AGD booth.

                              Sorta. I would have been 10x better even if we lost, if I had a gun. I played all the games except 1 with no gun.
