I just bought one, should be here tomorrow. My bro has the pump version... never had any problems... and they havea very good warrenty.. send it back if you have a problem... there were some defects in the first versions, i belive they have been fixed now..... the feed tube is pretty solid now.. i dont see how it would break off now.

I've had one for about 5 months now and "I" have had no problem with it at all. So far, I've used it as a backup in 2 scenarios where I shot with it, and have played about 10 pistol games with it and it performed flawlessly.

However, during final battle at the last Viper game, I loaned it to a teammate of mine who I later learned could break a bowling ball in about 2 seconds (but I luv ya Casper). He came back to me about 5 minutes later saying it wouldn't fire and was leaking. It was totally screwed, leaking, freezing, etc., but when I got home I took it apart and could find no problem. I then put it back together and it's working fine again. Go figure...

well we both sent ours back so hopefully they will return as good as new

Goob will hook you guys up, it'll come back in working order.

Ed, possibility would be that Casper didn't screw the knob in enough. So the puncture and all that on the cartridge may not have been good and it leaked there. I had that happen to my KP-2 once. I didn't tighten enough, accidently pumped the marker and it started to leak in there. A total waste of a 12gram.

no, I checked that and tried a couple of new cartridges on the field while it was happening. even after I got it home, it was either leaking or burping then failing. but like I said, took it apart and put it back together, then it worked fine.

just a screwey thing. good gun though (and it's so easy to blame Casper...)
