Automatic Gas Gun Reliability Study.

Disco_Dante · October 5th, 2008, 22:11

Greetings to all of ASC. For the benefit of the community, I am currently performing a reliability study on Gas powered automatic pistols. We are always hearing about how unreliable these guns are, how they tend to break down when used in full auto, and cautionary tales about a friend of a friends broken Glock 18c. So, to prove or disprove this, I would like everyone who owns or has owned a gas powered automatic pistol to fill out this survey and post it in this thread.

Name or ASC Handle:
Replica owned:
Rounds fired (single/automatic):
How old is the replica?:
How long have you owned the replica?:
What kind of problems have you encountered in it?:
Do you use propane or duster?:
What is the average flight time of an unladen swallow?:

Thank you in advance for participating.
