If they can't fix their own stuff, you deserve a replacement marker and let THEM send your defective one back to the engineers and quality control people to figure it out. But you are having shootdown and THAT could be related to your air supply. Have you tried a different air supply. Using a preset? Or CO2? Sometimes the nipple on the ASA doesn't depress the valve stem far enough in to open fully enough to supply high rates of fire. But at slow fire rates at a chrono, they usually 'catch up' and build full pressure between chrono readings. It only shows its ugly head during field play when your ripping away. A quick test is to cut a 1/2 diameter disk out of a milk jug or 2 liter soda bottle and put it in the ASA between the nipple and tank valve stem. That will depress the valve stem about 0.005" and should make a very noticeable improvement if not an outright cure if THAT is the problem. Then you can go back to the store and play the "No it is the tank that is Defective and Not our ASA game."
