I was thinking it may be a 3 blade problem and not a Rage problem. I read somewhere else that the 3 blade had problems.

The targets used were a cheap ($15) foam block with plastic shrink wrap on it and a $50 block. The block I pinned paper on the face to see if it was opening. I could try card board, but even after complete pass through, one blade was still closed.

My o-rings are wearing out after about 2 shots. It seems to be cutting into them. I didn't replace them, I rotated them tomove the damaged area.

Looking at the 2 and 3 blade on the internet, it looks like the 2 blade has more footing to deploy the blades. That may help. I will probably drop another $40 today on the two blades and experiment.
