    rapid losing air???????

    After temting fate and saying my rapid was overdue a service, it happened, I lifted the rifle out from the cabinet knowing it a had a full tank, and it was empty so I filled it up and can hear a slight hiss, and when you pull the bolt back it really starts leaking Im sure If I held it back long enough it would empty the tank, when the tank is just filled you cant hear it but after about 16 shots it really starts going, whats going on?

    Oh all right then. (10,000 pellets isn't that much though, my S400 has had about 35,000 in two years. ) (Even if it did leak from new. )
