where exaclty is it leaking from...thats pretty retarded they wouldnt retunr your money..

You could call tippmann they have a 1 year warranty on it..
the shop could get some grief from tippmann for not recognizing the warranty

Seems like they should fix it how long have you owned before it started leaking?Did buy and take it home and leak,also was a used or a rental gun in previous life?Most shops have a no return policy.Get some teflon tape from the local hardware store and get to taping.If it is the hose itself just buy a new one.Also the guys at the shops are not dumb if they even think that the gun was missused it will be tough luck.Or send it in with your warranty.It just does not make any sense unless the shop owner is a real dick.

Anyway...

Is it leaking from the connection of the hose? You can go to a shop, and they should sell teflon tape. Just put a piece over the connection that is leaking, and it should be fine.

Or, since it's brand new, I'd call up Tippmann, and tell them what happened. They'll probably tell you to send in your gun, and they'll either fix the leak, or send a new gun.

Good luck!

obviously by underlining and bolding "They Suck" and then adding the Thumbs Down i was implying that they do suck that they didnt fix his gun after selling it to him smartass.. second why BUY teflon tape from a shop that sold him a sh*t gun and then refused to fix it. . i would demand it ..

Demanding anything from anybody = being stupid.
If they won't fix or trade in a broken gun, then demanding something of them will do nothing. And since you obviously read my post wrong, I said go to A shop, not the same one. So, maybe you should read, and in your case, re-read the posts before talking **** about people, who actually contribute to the topic on hand.

I am ending this pointless feud. You are now e-cool.

My dad demanded a new CO2 tank from our shop when it leaked for free, they argued for 15 mins and we got one. It works, espcially with something like a Co2 tank

Well what you should do is stop cursing, but you should also call Tippmann.

Speak to the manager, sales people generally have little to no power. Managers generally like to make the customers happy in order to encourage them to return. If you have your receipt and everything, if they ever want to see you again, they will assist you.
