In Reply to: I have a question or two... posted by K Keaty on May 20, 2002 at 10:40:58:

well, I havent tried playing a tourney with mine, but i did hear about the forced feed systems now being allowed, so I dont see why it wouldnt be allowed now. Yes all the AT markers are select fire, but you can put a little screw into them that locks out FA, so its like any other FA capable electro with that capability tunred off.
the chain system fragility.. yes and no... this concept carries for the whole marker... Its fragile if you try to treat it like an m98. If you use it like its supposed to, and are indful of it, then no, its reliable. I have only had one incident with the chain, and thats when i played with an almost emply tank, the psi dropped under 500 (the manual says to not use with pressures under 800), and the marker didnt cycle correctly, (not enough pressure to rack the bolt back all the way) but it still tried to feed a ball into a a blocked chamber, bending pins on the chain and blowing the in-gun reg.
bent pins are no problem, sometimes after a day of playing one of them will look a bit funny, but its simply a matter of CAREFULLY bending it back into place with your hands. Well, i tried bending the pin back into place with gloved hands, in a game, with paint flying over my head, and I snapped one of the links off..
Had i just finished the round with my sidearm and taken the marker back to a table and worked on it carefully for 5 minutes, it would have been fine, but my dumb @ss had to rush.

So no, if you stay within the guidelines of tha manual, and learn how to use it effectively, it will work great for you. If you try to treat it like a rental gun, thinking that smacking it agaisnt this rock here will make it work again, it wont last you long. Its a precision piece of equipment, and if you remember that, it will be fine..
PS I havent had any other problems w/ mine besides that one incident
