If anyone has heard me prais my 1500 I'm sure they have heard enough. It already was getting near 50' of range, and more than average shot times. But this must be the best thing yet? The Soaker performed a CVF on itself. I found this out the day before my birthday (coincidence?) during a night 1v1 1HK with my cousin.
I had my cousin pinned down behind a bush, his 21k had no chance (or at least his skills) and another victory was insight. Then what I though was my worst nightmare happened. A huge pop. I imediatly thought the old gun's PC had popped. After finishing off my cousin, I realized I was wrong. Some how (perhaps debris?) the soaker shut off its own release valve. Because of this, the soaker's PC was pushing at its casing, and trying to pry it apart.
I can now get in a few more pumps than I used to, plus, I can add in a few partial pumps, but not many. The creaking and poping of my prized 1500's plastic internals scares me a bit, and I don't want to test its limits.
So, in conclusion, does this seem possible? Is it permanent? What could have possibly made such a amazing gun, that now borders 5 second shot time on 10X.

I never said this is a bad thing. It's a great thing. Not the pump check valve. The release valve that is cut off in a CVF. I couldn't wish for anything better. From now on, I will only pump up until the point where I hear the first creaking of the PC.

I personally would try to restore it to how it was before as soon as I could. I still have my friend's old 1500, it's still out of action, and it's just sad. Such a great soaker unusable should never be seen, I would try to make sure it doesn't happen to you, even if it does cost a bit of range and output.

whats wrong with your friends 1500?
Edit by Doom: PLEASE get the grammar correct. What's is a contraction meaning what is. It's his friend's 1500, not plural friend. Sorry to sound like a grammar-nazi, but honestly, this isn't too hard.
