When moderators go bad...(About guns)

[Spyder^Man3k]

Oh, Hsuve, guess what? I hope you know, your bolt and striker are machined finished and alumunim anodized, so, if you polish them like you said to, that removes the finish. You know what that does? It allows the co2 or rain or whatever to corrode and rust the alumunim...... And you know what that does dont you. So, I ask you this, what better? The bragging rights to say, "Yeah, I completely polished my internals" or, having a bolt and striker you can actually use? So, bluepaintball, I hope you didnt polish your bolt and striker.,....

[pr0kch0p]

cool, Hsuve knows more than you. thats why he is moderator and you aren't.

[Hsuve]

Water doesn't get into your gun very easily... Yes, water and crap can get into your gun if it's a side cocking model. However, how is it going to screw up your gun in under a day of play? I doubt it will suddenly "rust" up very quickly... After every day, just clean your equipment. Also, applying metal polish after sanding the striker/bolt will give it a very smooth finish. Water should slide off pretty easily, and shouldn't "rust" up in just a day... Have you had problems with this?

[bowtomecha]

I remember something about aluminum not rusting if i'm right. i don't remember bolts all being made out of steel anyways. hmm my barrel is aluminum too. damn imagine all that water and CO2 going through there and rusting it like a water pipe. And even if it is prone to rusting, id figure that, like a bike, i'd keep it clean and neat looking. :P

[pr0kch0p]

well your barrel is annodized and polished so i doubt that is gonna rust.

well if u dont like the mod u dont hav to do it but, it does happen to help alot and i dont really think that many people who go swimming with their spyders, or maybe its just me, and if you clean and upkeep and maintain ur parts like u should then there would be no problems.

[Spyder^Man3k]

I didnt say it was gunna rust in a days worth of play. I havent had any problems with my bolt and striker rusting because I havent taken off the finish. Thats what the finish is there for, if you didnt need the finish, don't you think they wouldnt have out it on in the first place? Its there for a reason. besides, how does polishing it help it any?

[big ugly spyder]

well simply it makes it smoother and therefore moves easier faster with less complications

[BlindSeaman]

Well, the only thing that really comes in contact on the striker/bolt are the o-rings anyway, so I'm not sure how polishing could help much. However, I also don't see how it could really hurt anything.

[Super Nick]

Have you ever checked your bolt for wear? All Spyder bolts have scratches on them, and I doubt that it is from just the o-rings touching the sides of the marker.

[BlindSeaman]

Yes, it does have a little wear on the front. I guess it could make a very slight difference, but it is really not much wear at all. My striker has no wear whatsoever.

[big ugly spyder]

it smooths it so there is less friction between the striker and sear

[snipinhick]

oh and buy the way, aluminum rust like any other conventual metal. But like everyone else put, under normal circumstances gun oil is a repellant or rust and water(I know I rub it all over all the guns I own after every time of use) If you treat your gun right, you could leave it out in the rain for a half hour and still be all set.

[Paint Thief]

yeah, i polished my bolt and striker and added accuracy and about literally 10 yards to my distance. I reccomend u do it spyder man. :cool:

[Paint Thief]

by the way snipinhick, phantoms kick *****

[C-Mac]

I don't think aluminum rusts. I believe it oxidizes, but not as easily as iron and steel. Rust generaly refers to oxidized iron, doesn't it? I wouldn't think that polishing the internals would hurt anything at all, even in the long run.

Hahahahah ahahahahah hahahah! I can't believe what you just said! Hahahaha hahahah hahahahah ah! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Aluminum doesn't rust! What books have you been reading?
Aluminum can oxidize... but at a much much slower rate, and even then it forms a simple film, not a crusty "rust". I'll say it again just so you don't forget..

**Aluminum does not rust!** Anodizing is a coating to prevent scratching.. not to stop rusting. Read up before you attack people, less egg will end up on your face that way.

[ptflyer]

I almost hit the floor when I read that aluminum rusts......ROTFL.....

exactly what are they teaching you in that school of yours....aluminum does NOT rust....never did never will.....

that is one of the reasons aluminum is used that and it is lite weight.....polishing it will do nothing except make it shinny and smooth.....and look really good....nad reduces friction....which in turn will lower overall pressure needed to move the parts....

aluminum rusting....thats rich...

[big ugly spyder]

obviously i think hsuve and all the other moderators no what they r talkin abou that is why they were appointed a mod, they no their **** plain and simple so dont go flamin mods on what ur science teacher says
