As we all know, tippmans are known for their durability and reliability.
I'm just wondering if you guys have any stories of what you have done to them and they still worked.

Last weekend:
Scenario Game in 40 degrees F, rain, and mud. Within the first hour, all of the electos were gone. Within two hours the fancy markers were having problems.
My Tippmann was covered in mud at one point (I had to squeegee mud out of the barrel) and it still performed flawlessly for the entire eight hour game.

I played at a outdoor woodsball field this past Sunday with a group of about 20 friends.
I set out with my Impulse, but also brought alone my tippmann (really just to scare the newbies with my 16"barrel and scope). It was nasty, windy, and about 35 deg. outside.
When it started to poor and puddles were building up all over the place, i went back to the car and swapped out my imp for my tippy.
Now ive had my tippmann for about 3 years and its never gone through what it went through that day. It was a consistant downpour, it got caked with mud, sand down the barrel, dirt in the hopper, and at one point was completely submerged in a mudpuddle when i dove gracefully into a bunker.
But i just kept wiping it off and blasting away victoriously. It reminded me of why i decided to hold onto my tippmann even though ive picked up two "better" guns since then.
