****Superbolts are Being RECALLED****

[emaguser18]

my bolt scared me....

the first shot I took totally cracked my bolt right down the side and the head(top 1/3 inch or so) shot right out. seeing as how I was at work at the time, I promptly called my manager and returned the bolt to store, the very place I was working at I might add. should I have the store send it back then???? O well, no hard feelings towards AGD. i love my E-Mag and my Flatline HPA system......... that one shot was very sweet i must say. no kick at all.........

bones i gotta ask, were you out?

[BONESisAgod]

yea, i was out, the bolt was following a ball in the air. But to stay on the humerouse side, Tom, maybe you should start making paint in the shape of the insides of the bolts, those things are accurate!

[Minimag4me]

fine i will send it back, i only dry fired anyway

do i have to send back the plastic nubbins and bolt spring too?

If you think about it, some of us AOers could have been a little bit responsible for this. I say this because we here at AO had been pushing AGD to release the superbolt ASAP. The pressure on Tom and others at AGD may have led them to release the bolt before they could do proper testing in all possible conditions the bolt would go through. Some of us AOers should learn to be a bit more patient...well that is my take on this subject its not a flame to anyone. I dont own a superbolt but probably will when they work things out.

Give me a break! We are "a little bit" responsible for cracked superbolts??? We did not design, engineer, manufacture, and release the superbolt. How did we push AGD into anything? They did not have to release anything until they knew 100% that it was a good working product. It is their responsibility to do the proper tests on their products. We are not their testing dummies. We are their customers. I am glad that they are recalling the bolt because I was not even using mine once all of the broken superbolt threads started showing up. I really do not think they had any choice but to recall them before somebody got hurt buy one. That would not be a pretty situation for AGD. I will not be at all surprised to see all of us get refunds. I do not think that we will see the superbolts again for a long time, if at all.

This recall is a demonstration of AGD's great costumer service. Now everyone who gets a refund will have to double that money and just buy a intelli z-grip when they come out.

i am 100% with shartley on this. in no way is the consumer responsible for flaws in the design of a manufacturers product. this is also not a sign of AGD's great customer service. this is a problem with AGD that is trying to be resolved. AGD is making a recall to save their own butts. if they did not do they recall, they could be sued by some kid that shoots himself with the tip of a superbolt. i am glad the recall is happening, but in no way happy that there should be a reason to recall in the first place.

AGD, i know that you try to get products out to us quickly. i also know that you haven't done extensive testing on the superbolt. you have stated this in a previous post. (i can find the link if necessary). i think AGD should do more extensive testing to ensure that recalls do not have to take place.

Just to add a few things, The "metal tube" in the middle od the bolt is the power piston. Titanium is not three times stronger than steel, its not even as strong as steel. And when/if the power piston shot out the gun, it wasn't at 300fps. It weighs a whole lot more than a ball. You guys could always try those Venom bolts. They were lighter.

testing

I love my mag and look forward to upgrades but....Makes me wonder why there was not better testing done on this product. I am mad to say the least. I think the bolt was rushed and not thoroughly tested. I am glad it was recalled to help avoid injury.

[PRO_Ski101]

No critisism or ANYTHING i'm just dissapointed that i gotta send my bolt back because i've played MANY games and i haven't even seen a TINY ITSEBITSY crack but i'll do as AGD says just cuz they know best.well PEACE

[OhMyAMoose]

I dont want to sound like an *** or anything but did ADG test the product much to make sure it was safe for use? It seems like all these people's bolts have broke w/ less than 2000 shots. I would think that ADG would have tested and found out this problem. I would think that they would have shot like 10,000 rounds of paint or at least cycled the gun that many times to test it. And we are not out to test these products for ADG if we buy them. Now if they were to send out some to the public for free to test them it would be a different story. This is kind of sad that this product failed but if I ever get an other paintgun (mine was stolen) I am sure it will be another mag. I think ADG learned a good lesson on this one and I am sure everything else will work great.

[MINIMAGMAN]

i agree with some parts moose said... except that ADG (AIR DESIGNS GUN) should be AGD............................... how was your gun stolen btw? NEVER leave your gun out in the open! always lock your things up when your away from the rest area
