Bent 98C Flatline Muzzle Break

I was dialing in my Flatline out in the back yard, placed the marker on the Porch Railing to get some more paint and BAM! My gun fell onto the concrete below. It wasn't a long drop (5') but it looks like the muzzle break is bent down a bit now.

Is there a way to remove the Muzzle Break without resorting to a Big Hammer?

I'll try and get some pics posted later today.

The only way to remove the muzzle is to cut it off? (Can I get a 2nd opinion)

The muzzle is bent enough that my shots are directed down.

Well, contrary to some other posts the muzzle break does have some affect on accuracy. And since you point out in another post that the paint balls are being deflected downward, it will have to be fixed.

I have read that the muzzle break has come off some barrels. It needs to be there in the normal course to protect the tip and prevent damage that could nick or break a ball as it exits the end of the barrel.

I would send it back to Tippmann. It is likely they can make a repair or replace it for a nominal cost. I can think of no better solution.
