    Bad luck.

    I'm guessing all sorts of things can cause that.

    If it is a can, was it screwed up tight? Thats one advantage of the over barrel type, at least if they slightly loosen they are kept in line by the barrel collet thingy (I think).

    It will be interesting to hear what caused it?

    This forum needs a guncity warning thread.

    Must say I have had fairly good service from them, had a few mishaps but they were fixed but I think I may be lucky

    Just read it heaps on here, Only times with me was wrong powder was sent still used it though just wasnt the powder I wanted and a robo pigeon the remote didnt work and the wings were chewed on by a rat or something. they fixed that thought by sending a new one and paying to have the other one sent back. There is a thread about Chirs (I think) and his problem with them.
