i dropped my barrel....did it hurt it?

[sly_guy69]

yesterday i dropped my smart parts tear drop barrel in the bathroom when i was cleaning out the port holes. it hit the ceramic toilet before it fell onto the tile floor--it made a pretty bad sound. i was playing a game w/ it today and it seemed to not be shooting to accurate. i didn't think the drop could hurt it really untill someone told me they had seem ppl w/ my barrel hit it agianst a tree and break it into. the paint match to the barrel is good. could the drop have bent or dented my barrel any?

I dropped my All American 2k2 barrel down the escalator of a mall the day I got it and it still shoots darts. It's probably just your imagination, because barrels are pretty sturdy. All you can do is look through it and see if it looks dented or bent or whatnot.

Well, the sound?:eyes: What do u expect from a metal barrel?? Anyway, Maybe it was your paint, zophiel is also rite, all u can do is see if its bent or not, if u keep having problems, try taking it to your nearest PB store.:blah:

If it's not bent it should be alright. Hold it up to a light and look down the barrel. You should be able to see if anything is out of wack. Place the chamber end on a white piece of paper and look down the muzzle end that would should work for getting a good picture of the barrel.

I'm sure the ceramic on the toilet would crack before the barrel go too messed up. Just make sure the end isnt bent too much.

nope guys i'm not crazy....i held it up to the light today and i can see where its dented in :S

it doesnt' look like its enough to effect it much but i don't know, guess i'll just have to wait till i get my CO2 filled back up and look for other problems

Try contacting SP and see if they'll replace it.
