Okay, so i bought the mags from pepper ball.com. They work great except one mag has a lump that formed in the material the mag is made of. The lump is inside the CO2 slot at the bottom this means i cannot put an 12 gram in the mag. any suggestions on how i might fix this or should i just email their customer service?

Well you could probably put a 12gram sized drill in there and clear it that way.

Or better yet, send it back for replacement :D

Good luck. I don't think they have them anymore (at least when I checked there last night, I couldn't find anywhere to actually buy them).

Mine had one just like that. I called them and told them and they sent an other one free of charge. :( This resulted in a really happy betasniper.

They would be the ones that don't have any wear on the front that engages the mag release. (if you understood that, I commend you)

Lol, yeah, did that a while ago. Actually, I did that as soon as I got the replacement.

Is anyone having issues with the quick-punctures on the SA-8 Mags?

I used one for the first time last night and as it got tight it just ripped the side of the treading out...i know you are going to say I over tightened it but I really didn't apply that much pressure.

just curious if anyone has had this happen (Pepperball's or TA's) and if it's isolated to the Pepperball SA-8 Mags or if i just really was an ass and over tightened it?

We appreciate you taking the time to report this defect to us. We have not heard of this happening before. I will ship you a replacement magazine - we do not need yours returned.

Again, thank you for your business and interest in our PepperBall products!

Please let me know if you have any questions.


since they have not heard of this happening I would have expected them to just apologized and sent me on my way but PepperBall REALLY does seems to have a GREAT customer service!
