Last friday i went to play like i do every friday. First thing i did was chrono my gun. Then i step out of the way and wait for my friend to do the same. Then the macro just blew a hole right in the middle of it. I turned off my air and the ref was like thats weird. He took my gun and got some macro for it.He was cool.
It didnt pop out of the fitting, it just blew a hole right in the middle of it. I dont have it the ref kept it. Did anything like this happen to you guys. Do you know why it did that

Never in 6 years of playing have I seen it blow a hole in the middle of the macro. My only thought is that it was rubbing against somthing in the case or sumthin that caused it to become frail, and thin in that spot.

this actually happened to my brother a few weeks ago. But he had his gun setting on blacktop for a few minutes. And since it was around 94* I think it semi-melted it then blew.

it could of beent that the gun was cold then hot or vise versa

but idk this is hopeless

not unusual for that to happen just highly uncommon. My guess is the line wasn't rated for your pressure or it was damaged.

**lets-c-u-dance** · July 30th, 08:30 PM

I put the extra macro(same kind) and its worked since then

**butterjuice** · July 30th, 09:03 PM

it happened to mine b4...it was really hot out and the pressure inside the hose and the heat outside just caused it to explode right in the middle

**Tomba** · July 30th, 09:10 PM

It happened to me before, nothing to worry about. prolly just accidently hit it with a razor blade or something and made a tiny hole he didnt realize about. Yeah i need some new macro for my dm4, its starting to get a rough feel to it due to all the superman diving, my macro sometimes hits the ground.

**lets-c-u-dance** · July 30th, 09:23 PM

well i was indoors so i dont think heat did had much to do with it. And i ususally check for leaks before i even get on the field. But i dont know. Just another story ro add to the book

**Huchacool3** · July 30th, 10:17 PM

if it was just put on an hour before, it probably had a weak spot in it, and the pressure just blew a hole. it's not an ultra rare thing to have a macro blow a hole in it, but you don't see it every day, either.

**lets-c-u-dance** · July 30th, 10:20 PM

ya...just wanted to see if you guys had seen it to. Ya i had an rail installed and he told me not to turn the on/off on for an hour. So we drove an hour there and back to another store for a hopper. So it was probly more than 1 hour.
But thanks

?

Are you kidding me? This happens all the time. It just got hot, and therefore got soft, and the pressure just blew it apart...

I cannot belive you have never seen or heard about this...

**trix0566** · July 31st, 04:35 PM

Did you like chew on your macro? Other than that i can only think of cutting it on something sharp......
