I was demonstrating the speed of the gun in my sig and walking my trigger while dryfiring. I got up to about 12 bps and then it got really slow and then started shooting gas out of everywhere possible everytime I fired. I wasnt holding the gun down and it was only walking for like 5/10 secs. Then in the next game I was up against some pretty tough competition with Angels, Protos, Dm5s etc. and I was having a walking/snapshooting war with a guy with a Proto and we nailed (gogged) each other at the same time after 20/30 shots each and several 2/3 second bursts of 12/13 bps on my trigger and I had no problems with it. Is my gun still okay to use? Im worried it may like xplode if it gets too much liquid and freeze and die! |

The gun wont explode or anything. It's just hard on the O-rings and the internals in general. Like Hella said, buy HPA. |

Ya Im trying to get HPA but is my gun okay for now if its not leaking. I guess it iscause it shoots good. An expansion chamber would solve the problem and so would A/S right?

Take it apart and lube/inspect your o-rings. If its not leaking now it
should be fine, but if it does start leaking you may have damaged some o-rings and just need to replace them. HPA would solve this problem. If your stuck with CO2, a number of things will help reduce freezing: expansion chamber anti-siphon remote palmer's stabilizer regulator Edited by FyreFly |
