yep, it can tend to do that

Carpsniper-  I went out this weekend and shot the Vortek with Musket caps and 100 grains of pyrodex 7.  I shot 15 rounds and had no problems whatsoever.  I just wanted to let you know.

[carpsniperg2]

yeah, i talked to another tec today. he said that it is not supposed to be used with musket caps and that is why they do not supply one with the gun. you have to buy a aftermarket one to use them ,and he said the gun was not built to use them. i don't see any harm in using them just get the thunder nipple musket 8mm threads and put it in place of the 11. it would work the same, i have talked 2 3 other people doing this and have had no probs. but if you ever have to send it back in for anything you better not tell them you were using muskets. because i was told again today that, using them voids the warrenty

[carpsniperg2]

yes they said the frame/firing componets on the gun is built to lower specs then the reg vortek and not as strong and the musket caps have more power to them and can damage the frame and firing componets with use of the musket caps. that is what i was told by 3 diffrent tecs

[Timberstalker]

but the charge remains the same, just the ignition has changed.  Doesnt make sense

[carpsniperg2]

yeah, i know it does not make sense. granted the muskets have more fire but i would not think that would hurt the gun. but like they told me if the gun was ment to use musket caps they would have supplied one with the gun and the number 11 so the people could have a choice what they wanted to use. but sense the gun was not bulit to use them using them would void the warrenty. just what i was told.

[carpsniperg2]

no prob i am still debating if i want to buy one. just make sure if you have to send it back you pull the musket cap nipple out and screw in the number 11

we have been shooting the musket nipple for a few weeks and have not had any problems so far i think it is fine

[carpsniperg2]

i just took my vortek back, had a big problem with it. i would say follow what the manual says to do and what not to do

[bigcuz]

[carpsniperg2]

[carpsniperg2]

[bigcuz]
