Question Prianha: Is the bolt bad? (pics included)

A while ago, I bought 2 Piranha's for $10 each at the paintball shop. I beleve they were used at a field as rent guns. I didnt care, i just wanted an extra gun for when our group coaxes another person to try playing And I bought two of them just because they were 10 each :P


Both Markers Apart

Anyway The Orange one, seemed to work fine right off the bat. Its scratched all the hell, but fires pretty nicely compared to the brass eagle my friend bought for 90 as his spare gun. (that think is a total piece of crap)

The yellow one, had problems from the go tho. The first one i got, wouldn't even fire. the trigger was bad or something, so i swapped it for the one i have now. Well, The Elbow on it leaks because its all striped and bent out o shape

(the one on the left is from the yellow gun, the one of the right, is the orange gun)


Elbow's

After discovering this, I set it aside and just used the orange one. Today, i took them both apart and discovered the bolts looked different.. Again, the orange one looked fine (to the best of my knowledge of guns)

Orange Bolt

The yellow one however... well have a look

Yellow Bolt

Is this thing bad? To where it needs to be replaced? It does fire, but when it does, a bit of frozen co2 shoots out (fired /w outside temp of 75 F)

Despite the orange one looking all beat up, it works better than the yellow one.

Thoughts?
