haha first thought was, hope nobody has a camera with them, then i realised thundercat had one, but hopefully he didnt see it :D. you're right about the sliding though, and it wasnt just the sand, considering the weather, the ground was pretty hard, and not kind on me knees. saw so many players sliding a good 10ft before and stopping after 2ft and realising they best move quickly before they get shot.

In this case it did. The threads on the back weren't very good quality and didnt exactly match the threads on the marker - as in the barrel wiggled when screwed in.

Air was bleeding out of the back on every shot. Only really noticed the pressure drop on first shot b/c after that the marker was ripping away at 15 rps. Paint was breaking in the barrel b/c the leaking air was making firing pressure very spiky.

When we switched backs all the problems went away. I reckon it could be sorted by applying some PTFE tape to the threads...
