    concern for marker safety?

    when people do a dive into a snake or a superman dive into any bunker...have they no regard for their marker's safety...that bad boy cost me $800+ why should i do a superman dive to get better positioning if it means jeapordizing my marker's well being...or is there a better way to superman with your gun's well being in mind?

    !!

    its called landing on your off hand and keeping the gun in the air!!!! sure your chest takes the lot of the impact but its better than a scratch on your gun!!!

      buy an automag and just make sure you don't land on your tank. It'll survive just fine.

      If you have to baby it, why would you spend $800 on it? ;-)

        I was tossing my 1300 dollar revenge into bunkers all day sunday, survived just fine

        Only problem I had is when I kamikazed into the center 50 my glove got caught in the backblock.

          Just make sure you have a great story to tell to go with the scratches.

            I try to keep my equipment nice but sometimes it's just not possible to avoid damage.

            Take racing for example. You spend $25,000 to build a car and your lucky if it lasts one season.

                  Hmm...I use Airgun Design Products so I don't have to worry about a broken marker if I dive into, around, or over a bunker.

                  OK, so I'm a little older now and don't do much diving, except into kegs of beer. But back when I did (before I became a back player (meaning old and slow)) my Automag classic and RT were horribly abused but never asked for more than an occasional O-ring and nubbin.

                  I always though AGD's banner should say Because Quality Always Shoots instead of Because Quality Always Shoots Straight.

                    I worry more about busting my balls then busting my gun. Makes a mess in the hoper.

                        Sometimes I wish my E-Mag would break. Then I could be cool like Timmy users

                          Be a back player. Not too much diving, just the occasional sliding on your knees.
