i've blown through 3 guarder pistons in the last 11 months. i'm now using an Army Code piston and so far, so good. i like guarder stuff but i'll never use their pistons again.

I hope the pinion gear is press fit on. That removable option sucks.

being int he military is NOT good for your body.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that. It's a common misperception that running is the main aspect of military PT. I'd say that's false.

We'd do all sorts of things for PT, then finish it up by running for a few miles. Hardly self-destructive.

you mean MISCONCEPTION and running is a large part of ANY physcial training. the ARMY doesn't concentrate on it enough although it IS extremely destructive to the body.

in the active ARMY you do not have time to make up for the lack of specific physical gain a regular PT regiment will work on you. your body is exerted in the same manner constantly. it developes certain things, weakens others. hence, it is important for the indivudual to figure out what his PT lacks and make up for it on his own.

i'm not even throwing in ruck marches or getting smoked. both of which have some good points and some very bad points for the human body.

the average active soldier loses 15% of their muscle mass, 20% of their body fat and suffers from tendonitis throught various parts of their body. more extreme cases involve multiple stress fractures in the lower extremeties, calcium deposits and the development of osteoperosis from long term bone damage with the lack of mineral intake (diet).

the first thing i would check is your battery. make sure it's charged. make sure it's healthy. i.e. - the pack isn't shot due to a bad cell or something. odd heat marks/melted areas are a sure sign the pack is going. a 9.6/1100 should most definitely pull that spring no matter what else you have inside the gearbox.

it could also be the shim job. if it's too tight, it's going to cause a lot of pull. are you blowing your fuses left and right? that means there is too much draw. fuses don't like that. keep your fuse for now until you figure out the problem.

the motor might be going bad. it's normal to smell ozone when you fire but do you also smell burning plastic?

check your wiring. is anything exposed or broken? do your connection fit flush? is there a large are that gets hot when you fire? im not talking about the grip where the motor is.

lastly, Figueroa, WHAT'S YOUR FVCKING PHONE NUMBER??? I was stuck in Pheonix all day yesterday. bastards and your surprise storms...

man. i haven't heard word of this for a long time. i'm surprised it still even exists. for some reason a lot of douche bags seem to gravitate towards that "association".

it was here in Southern California for a short period before it pretty much self destructed (from all the douchebags involved).

my advice? stay away.

I'm usually pretty damn on it when it comes to selling stuff. Screwing around with business is a NO-GO. Qulevra is an acquiantance of mine and I'm giving him the thumbs up for business.

Things i have found out using PayPal are that as long as you dont screw around and pay attention to what you are doing, you will be fine. as soon as you slack off though, something is going to kick you in the nuts. like a negative balance, etc. i have a paypal debit card so i really need to pay attention to things. otherwise PayPal is EXTREMELY useful.

so which of you has been buying my stuff? damn you guys and your callsigns!!11!!!

HAR.

it's in regards to different gas mask fittings.

hey quick question what is the diffrence in the ripple sole boots to the non ones...

RIPPLE soles give you a much better stride traction on sand and loose dirt. they are also great for road marches due to a wider sole surface. they are not so good on packed dirt, concrete and gravel
