ok cool thanks.

Disappointed at Tippmann though... they should be fixing/ already fixed this, not some 16 year old like me... is JB weld available at Home Depot?

Yep, either in the adhesive section or try the plumbing department.

Is this a wide-spread problem? I've never had piercing problems (knock wood), maybe it is an issue with different sized 12's?

Well I've read that 12 Grams such as Crossman are shorter than ones like Leland. If you have ever seen Leland 12g, it has the 3 different levels of "diameter", the smallest part, then a slighter bigger part, and finally the greatest diameter in the greatest portion of the 12g. I believe Crossman are also harder to puncture, and because they can move around in the 12g chamber, it doesn't help pierce them....

I used to use the Crosman 12s, but have been spending the extra buck or two and getting the Copperhead 12s. They seem to puncture easier and I haven't gotten a dud one yet.

The first 12 gram I ever tried, was a Crosman, and it was a dud....

According to the tech guy that worked on my marker, they are updating parts and such, which i can only hope to assume a longer pierce pin.

I hope so Butch. I would rather not do something to my gun to make it work out of the box (hard case in this situation... although it seems kind of week to be a hardcase. In fact, I wish they had one bigger like the Tiberius boxes. Oh well.).

Put the foil or shim under the puncture pin cap.

Ok, picked up some J-B Weld... not sure which to use... I have:

A douletube-synringe thing that says JB Mini and then another, seperate pack of two seperate tubes, one labeled steel and one labeled hardener

You will need to mix equal parts of the two tubes together - so one small blob of the steel and an equally small blob of the hardener. Mix them together so that they form a grey-coloured paste, then dab some on the trigger and wait 24 hours or so.

If I do it now, will it be ok to use tomorrow morning? I am playing tomorrow, and I can hold off on using the TPX if it means it wont break
