It all started when one of my guns broke. Hasbro sent me a CPS 4100 to replace it. Anyway my fan blast was twisted on an angle, not working properly. I emailed them tellin them that this was how it was, questioning why it was like this, and clearly saying I did not need another one.

They later email me saying they would send me another. I emailed them back saying it was alright. It seems as if hasbro is just looking to give them away.I try to not take advantage of them so I don't like that they're sending me another. Ah well, another weapon for my armoury.

Well heck, they do have a huge overstock of CPS 4100s. I believe they are generous since they actually did give me a new blaster when mine was broken, even though it was my fault. not too many companies do that.

Yes, and it's not like the fan blast is of great importance to start off with

Hmmm...... I wonder if they would give a replacement for my little bro's MD3K?

The trigger valve broke, and it's been like that for about a month. <_<

He left it outside and mud got in the internals, so the trigger valve is beyond repair. :(

EDIT: Do you think they would send me a hydroblade(PR)? Because my mom paid close to $15.00 at some overpriced store.

Max-D Guns have a very weak Trigger Valve, They break if you overpump it.

They would Probably give you something of "Lesser or Equal Of Value", So if you paid $10 for it, you would get a Liquidator. Which is, infact, the 2004 version of Max-D guns, Considering it has the same MaxD Trigger Valve and is PR.

The Liquidator actually isn't too bad. With the 3 liter mod it's shot time is insane. I think it's better than the MD 3K.

The first three guns in the line are great, really. I mean, they weren't meant to be a fighter's main guns, not unless your IQ was in the single digits...
Whatever music you listen to probably sucks.

Of course, they were meant to get off those little tags. People should just accept that sometimes Hasbro puts out stuff that no one likes. Possibly they're trying to make people want bigger guns so one year they can have all the big cannons we want. Who knows.

I just emailed hasbro about my broken trigger valve that I got after I did a k-mod. I then askde them to make the 2005 trigger valves stronger, so that modding can be done. Then I asked for a new trigger valve....

They emailed me back saying that the 2100 is no longer being produced, and that they will ship me a product of equal value. I guess its either a triple aggressor, or 4100. Well, now I still have to fix my 2100...

Well considering you were modding it, it is very generous for them to replace it. Normally if you do something like that you wouldn't be eligible for anything as you shouldn't be doing it.

You must just be stupid. Hasbro will NEVER support modifications of their blasters. Any legitimate company won't. They could get sued very easily. That is why many things lose their warrantee when they are opened.

Maybe they missread my email? maybe they are just stupid. I think I got the same person (kelly) that blaze did when he got hsi 4100 for recomending trigger reinforment. I tried to hide that I k-modded it as much as I could, by pputting it in a flowing sentence so tht the reader would go right over it. I never really asked them to make the valves stronger so modding can be done. I just said I k-modded it (as if they even know what the Hasbro HQ that means) and asked for stronger trigger valves. ah, what do I care, I can add to my arsenal that is lacking assualt rifle like guns.

P.S. I ussume my spelling will be very bad in this post, as it is 1:00 in the morning.
