In Topic: Magstrike: Won't Fire Off A Clip?

Lynx: I don't think it was Good Will's air conditioning, it was in the box still even.

Kid Flash: I really think that's a low thing to do personally, I mean I bought the thing for 6 bucks.

Swords: If you do have pictures, that would be helpful. I notice SOMETIMES it will go back and fourth, but other times it won't. So I'm starting to think more and more it is a bladder problem. I'll try to get around to checking it out underwater this weekend.

I had a similar problem with my Mag which I attributed to my clip fitting too tightly. I just did some shaving down where I noticed it was sticking and now all is well. So, just another possible variable. Good Luck in your quest for a solution.


Well yes I thought about this, but I ruled it out when I took it apart and found that sometimes the piston doesn't go back and fourth like it should.

Nerfmonkey: I'm pretty sure that piece is on correctly.

I seem to have another speculation of what the problem is. I noticed that if I hold it upright correctly and pump it normally, not fast, and then I fire directly after I finish pumping, it works like a charm. HOWEVER! If I wait for any time at all, it seems to have the same problem as before. I doubt there is a leak in the actual bladder, but Keef pmed me and told me I might need to plug the bladder (which is exactly what I plan to do soon). Also, if I try to pump it really fast and I move the whole thing back and fourth too fast, it will have the same effect and fizzle out.

I'll take it apart and stick the bladder under water and see what happens. Hopefully I won't have to take the bladder out of my wildfire.

First, open up the MS and look around the internals. If there is no obvious problem, submerge the internals and pump and fire it(keep the pump above the water). If there are any bubbles, you know where to look for a hole.

If it still doesn't work, ask for more help.


Do you really think there is air escaping? I noticed ForbiddenAngel said he had a corrupt piston on his and I think I may have a similar problem.
