I had a great time - I do however question whether I am a magnet for trouble when it comes to paintball; everything I touch seems to go wrong. Faulty phenom My HPA air cannister literally randombly started gushing out air and needs fixing now and I noticed I was missing a barrel at the end of my gun in one round.

Yeah it was pretty funny looking back; The round ended with me surrounded by two guys firing at me while I was behind a bit of cover trying to frantically fire back at one of them. I was sticking my barrel out a small gap in my cover when i had a barrage of paintballs hit the cover and then something hit me in the shoulder and I assumed it had was a break so i called it out and game ended. (It wasnt a break but I was going to get a royal ass whooping and I was so heavily surpressed I called it without looking) We were walking back when i got near the safety area and looked at the gun-The barrel was missing!! i think it must have taken some hits and come off. The adapter was bit finicky but yea i was like holy cow this doesn't look right. I was mesmerised at the gun and just stared at it trying to figure out how it happened luckily we found it lol.

I had a good day too! bit disappointed with one or two things.
First one being me being a spaz with the air! I'd not shut the valve off completely, then i purged it and obviously it got stuck on, but I immediately thought that I must have turned the valve the wrong way, so I opened it fully out the other way, when it didn't stop I was like WTF! Very embarrassing.
The other is that some of the sportsmanship was pretty bad at that site, usually at walk ons people take the hits and let you walk off if you've been hit. At this site there were two times when I was hit, put my hand up, had my hand shot, waved it around waited and stood up, got shot again, walked off holding both hands up and got lit up again - pretty poor and something you only expect when playing with punters.
Saj - don't worry, it just means you have had all your bad luck all in one go, and means that everything will go smoothly from now on.
Alex - don't blame you haha.

Awful mate bad times Get an Ego! but of the three you mentioned I would get the Etha because I have heard bad things about protos and them being unreliable.

The air incident wasnt really major; it happens and even the guy behind the counter couldnt get it to stop so its a bit optimistic assuming you would be able to. Im going to try fix this burst disk on my tank - anyone have any experience on doing that? The bloke at the site said just to do a straight swap for a new one? edit; its stuff like this that makes me question my luck lol - ANOTHER problem now LOL! edit2; I think im definately getting a tournament marker now - your gun nate was brill. Im leaning between the Etha or Etek...more research needed first

Thanks Saj, makes me feel a little bit better lol.
Speak to Duncan mate, I've seen him fiddling about with regs before. But before doing any of that I'd speak to justpaintball and get them to swap it. The burst disk is there as a fail safe, there must be a reason it failed it the first place.

indeed - I have shot them off an email about it so will see what they say. I will likely give them a call. I think the next time I do come - I will have a proper full kit (that works) I dont think il be available in the short-term (next couple months) as my finances will go towards saving for a new marker among other housely committments I have promised the wifey (a new car) as well as my own goals (a gym bench to try get back into shape and gain some weight!) among a couple other items for the house. But il be there after that to blast people with my marker once I have it

Nice one, hopefully they'll replace it for you and; fair enough! I am sure it will quiet down around Christmas anyway so you probably won't miss too much.

I too may also get another marker, keep the A5 as a back up, rather than spend money on the A5 buying bits, just save the Money for something more Gucci.
