cphilips bone head day....

[cphilip]

Done!

Its funny now looking back on it. I suspect I am not the only one to do this.

Thing is I must have put that safety on at some point and do not remember it. And its odd because I never use the "Safe" side of a safety. Not since the time I found mine on after the break.... another story!

[Duke Henry]

I have to admit when I used my Emag for the first time at a tournament this year, I walked over to the chrony and the gun would not shoot.

I checked the air, and was confused. By the time I walked back to my toolbox to get my allen keys (which I had forgotten anyway since I needed in case I had to adjust my velocity) since I thought that maybe my velocity was too low (for LX), it occured to me that I still had my darn safety on.

I quickly grabbed the allen keys and spoke not a word of this to ANYONE..............until now!!!

Don't worry I was wearing an AO Barrel condom. Oh.....Safety again!

[wish-had-a-mag]

Hey I know that story.....

First I took out my whole trigger assembly because i thought there was a shell in there, then bent a spring and had to sit out a game.

I don't even want to think about how many times I have thought I put on the safety and started to show somebody how I shoot, and end up with a ten minute cleaning of my barrel.

I even started a game and since nobody saw me, I satrted to bunker a guy without ever taking a shot, and my gun didnt shoot. I still have welts from that one.

When I first got my emag at the shop the dude aired it up and it wouldnt fire, and we spent 20 mins looking at it and taking it apart before we realised the saftey was on.
Silly saftey

[Hexis]

After shooting a team mate before a game on one occasion I am now dork about keeping mine on safe all the time. And it's come back to bite me in the butt twice on the break. I miss the Powerfeed saftey, that was easy to remember.

Happened to me cphil, first day with my X-Mag. Lots of curses flew at my marker... untill of course I remembered the safety.

[cphilip]

LOL well I suspect its happened to a lot of us. Simple thing... simple thing... Oh well!

[Tunaman]

I had 5 hrs into one a while back...then...click. All fixed! Aint no shame in missing that one. We all have done it. You got some good practice too at the same time. At least it does the job it was designed for. A safety that keeps the marker safe...what a concept!

[cphilip]

heh... well this marker is Well Lubed and Well within evey spec there is I can GARANTEE you that. Not all was lost. It's been gone over with a fine tooth comb so to speak. And... the safety was WELL tested too!!!!

[davidnj]

Im confused, with the safety on the trigger shouldn't pull...at least thats how my ule mags, cocker, etc work. Is an x mag different somehow when the safety is on?

[Tunaman]

The safety is a sear locking mechanism. With the gun turned on, the solenoid will still click...sounding like a non-firing issue.

[cphilip]

Yep and it will click away and swing some so you think its pulling some in manual too. Just will not pull enough to fire the on off pin in to let the air go. Stops short. There are several other symptoms like that when something is wrong in the on off. It can fool ya. Well it did get me AGAIN!
