I'd like to find out what everybodys most consistent problems are with their markers. When you're out on the field what are the little things, or even the big things you find go wrong with your gun, time in and time out?

Ok now I finally get TJ...he was having a dig at Andy Piper no-one else...but you could blame jet lag after flying in for Robbo's wedding, but then after sampling real booze he has a muddled brain (mind you perhaps the brain was fried before, ying & yang etc)

But then again to try and keep this post on topic..most all problems are user input based...so perhaps your post (TJ) wasn't that wrong in the first place. Luv ya really Andy. KOTB.

The biggest problem i have with my marker is.

Earning the money to keep it fed with paintballs:D

Seriously tho, the worst thing that happens to my markers on the field is a barrel burst:mad: If you keep your kit well maintained you shouldn't have a problem.

the problems that i have seen run the gamut...but generally you can break down a lot of problems into vague catagories..

low end marks (under 200 us) mostly sears, and valves.

Mid to high range- most problems dealing with markers that run in the 400 plus are due to operator error, lack of maintenance, etc....very rarely will it be something with the marker itself it seems...unless you just happen to get a problem marker....some markers just will not work no matter what oyu do to them...and some will keep working in spite of what you do to them too.

Torn O-rings :( CO2 causes wear and tear to o-rings. Having recently changed to black nitrile o-rings this has cut down, but I still seem to be changing them way too often.

At the Big Game I had constant problems, mostly my fault as I'm still new to the game. Barrel bursts and paint caught around my bolt are the next problems.
