Field Strip inthe middle of the game

[OMEGAX4]

WARNING, THIS MAY CAUSE EXTREME HARM!!!!!

Is it not theroticaly possible to strip your gun GASSED? Gas is only released when the hammer strikes the valve. (a nanosecond after you pull the trigger) BUT when you gun is cocked and gassed stripping will not cause the hammer to strike the valve. I have not tried this yet but am in the process of getting a 12gram to test this theory.

as for putting the bolt assembly back inthe the gun, you do not neccesarly have to push the sear release, instead insert the bolt assemble back into the gun and push against the velocity spring. and put the field strip bolt back in.

WARNING MAY CAUSE INJURY!!!!

lol, I've done that with my spyder. Nothing bad happened, but it was really freaky.

[OMEGAX4]

I thought that was pretty intresting video on your website. Probably caused by the gasses still exiting the barrel as the bolt retracts causing a vaccume that sucks air through the verti-feed.

if ur gun gets that trashed in the middle of a game just call urself out, other than that either squeege the barrel or turn it upside down and fire a few times.. gun isnt made for tournament play neway so the game shouldnt be too important that u need to field strip it ;) btw piranah's are easily taken apart so it might be easy ;)

i can (and do sometimes) field strip my very easily, just pull the pin and my bolt pulls right out . . . i never did it with my spyder though, i would just call my self out.

[NSUCK]

hehe, id like to see some1 carry an extra pistol style marker on them incase there gun poops out ;) start goin rambo with 2 handguns! lol,

I just thought about this whenever I see disclamers to degass the gun before you take it apart. I can understand if you want to take the valve off or somthing stupid. Just curious because when i break a ball and squeege the barrel, the chamber is till gooey and smears it all over the paintball doing no good.

I don't really see the need in stripping your gun on the field... :| Jam a ball? Just pull on the cocking rod, no need to strip the whole gun down. :D If it's too hard to pull back with your hands, jam a straightshot squeegee down the barrel and thrust it against the bolt while pulling on the cocking rod. It's usually enough pressure to unjam your gun.
VeNoM: Of course your Bushy is real easy, just be careful your balls don't double feed when the bolt isn't there. ;) Plus Bushmasters are really easy on paint, thus if you jam, it won't be anything serious.

[OMEGAX4]

Who said anything about "jamming" a ball? I said break.

[BlindSeaman]

Oh, I didn't actually do that during a game. That would be too much stress and I could hurt myself.:)

[NSUCK]

ya.. and there might be somtin against that in the rules for ur field.. just call ur self out and save a hassel :rolleyes: as i said before, game shouldnt be that importat to where u need to do it on the field because piranahs arnt means for tournament play ;) just go out degas and clean on site... just make sure not to lose ur parts :pissed:

I don't think any paintball guns were built to play in tournaments, I believe they were built to shoot paintballs... :) How is a Piranha not meant for tournament play? It will easily hold up in a tournament with a few upgrades. Look at Bad Company, they use Spyder Xtras and Centerflag Hyperframes, yet they're doing fine. Got a high place in the World Cup, I think... Haven't looked, but I've heard. :) Why should there be something against that on a field? People play to win, they will do what it takes, thus they will strip their gun down to make it work, if necessary. People don't spend $100+ for a tournament, then during a crucial game say, "Crap! My gun's not working! Better call myself out rather than see if I can fix my gun..." I'm sure there are those sort of people, but when someone spends so much, and they have a possibility of winning so much as well, they'd rather see if they can fix their problem rather than calling themself out...

[NSUCK]

ok, but 'most' people will use a better type of gun (that shouldnt require on field assistance)

[Hsuve]

A gun that wouldn't need any on field assistance? Such as a Spyder, Piranha, Model 98, and such? :)

[BlindSeaman]

Bad Company got 4th in Worlds using spyder xtras and em1s. Personably I have only seen them using upgraded xtras (in pictures and such)

[Dermen]

No gun should require on field assistance. The only on field thing I do with my Piranha is squeegie the barrel when a ball breaks.

[BlindSeaman]

Yup, i've never had to do anything to my spyder on field unless it was my fault. (AKA setting the pressure too low so when I fired rapidly it sputtered) And I RARELY have a ball break, the only time I have them with any frequency is when I use bad paint.

First of all, field-stripping your gun, i.e. removing the bolt/hammer assembly, can be done while the gun is gassed up with absolutely no problems.

Secondly, there's no law that says fishies can't be used in tournament games. My fishie is reliable enough to last through a tournament, let alone a single game. Most higher-level people use high-end guns because they're just slightly better to start with than you can get with a highly-upgraded fishie. More accurate and fewer ball breaks are what most tourney players are after. If they shoot more than 700 rounds a game, they're also out for gas efficiency. As long as you don't need massive volumes of paint to make the accuracy by volume adage work, you don't need more than 6-7 balls a second.

i took my bolt and cocking system of my piranha no problem gassed up in the middle of a game
