Hey Tippys,
I've had my Tippmann 98 for about 4 months. I have these upgrades: Flatline, Collapsable Stock, and Scope. Today while playing Woodsball I was pushing my Tippy to the limit and the screw (1 of 2) on the right side of the gun flew off and hit my teamate in the head. 
Any advice? ------------- And the Kitty goes? MEOW And the Flatline goes? OUCH |

but it back on, screw it in tight, and try hitting the other team next time Edit:I forgot to tell you don’t screw it back in to tight you might strip the thread ------------- Ion sanded and bondo'd body Orange painted body and frame Dead On Bullet Drop Evo II 68/4500 crossfire Evil pipe kit with ultra tip |

| I lost one of these screws too, but afterwards, it wouldn't screw back in... I just left it out, and haven't had anything wrong with it since. |

Isnt that the screw that holds the power tube in place ? (One of them ) . if it is , and you can , put a drop of BLUE loctite on the threads and put it back in (Blue loctite is removable if you should want to , Red and other grades are MUCH more difficult to remove ) As for your friend getting hit in the head , apologize and offer him a bandaid ?? I cant think that any of the Upgrades you have would have caused that to happen . I had mine come loose too , after I had disassembled it . I used some loctite , and has stayed put since .
