I too have a bunch of Aliens that I no longer trust. Previously I had BD C4s down to the 0.5 (Purple) and nothing smaller because I do not think the smaller C4s place all that well in those tricky spots. After the latest Aliengate I couldn't take it no more and I picked up a yellow C3 and and a 0.4 C4 to figure out if they are viable replacments. I am going to take the C3 out and test drive it some to see if I like it before I get more of them. I will report back on what I think of the C3s.

I am curious what happens to the C3s when you fall on them while they are placed in a way that they cannot bend. Say you place one in a vertical crack and the only good placement you get is such that the C3 is sticking out a 90 degree angle. If you fall on that it is going to be on the axis that does not like to bend. Something has to give, I wonder what will give and how.

I hate to give up my Aliens. Does anyone know of a third party shop that will pull test them?
