wow im glad i came across this thread! you guys just saved me a whole heap of trouble

sorry to hear about your hassles..[&o]

i still have my hen long jap tank which barely limps along now but i guess that was my fault. I got cocky and started playing with it in sand. I took it apart for a routine clean and now that its back together the bb firing mechanisn doesnt want to work anymore. Ill have to tinker with it some more. i swear if i ever get it going again, its staying indoors!
