A funny thing happened, the priming handle on my Cyclone stopped returning to its forward position. I had to push it forward to get the trigger lock to disengage. Once I removed the handle, the problem was evident. The end of the plunger rod form a "T" that connects to the priming handle. There's a metal pin inside that provides most of the strength. Well, that pin was severely bent, and the plastic around it was cracked. Somebody's been playing too hard with my blasters, and that somebody's probably me. Although I did take it to a beer tasting, and some of the inebriated guests may have been a little rough on her.

Fortunately I was able to remove the pin, straighten it, get some plastic weld in there, and reassemble the whole thing. The surgery lasted about 40 minutes, but the curing time is 24 hours. So I won't know until tomorrow if it worked.

Fingers crossed. I only have two CS's left in inventory, and I'd hate to lose this one on account of some drunken idiot that can't handle his Nerf guns.
