Do a search and you will find comments like these and you'll see that you're not the only one that doesn't get on with it but if you can get to grips with it then it's worth it's weight in gold...

You basically need to get the depth, angle and bounce right. Something that I haven't managed yet myself either!

Now sorted. After seeing the bounce on Pinky's gun just yesterday, I realised that I wasn't using enough bounce so, after increasing the bounce, I've popped open everything I've tried so far, nothing taking more than a minute...

I knew it was probably something simple, and it was. So, everyone who's having problems with their pick guns, take it from me, get it right and it will work, and will be worth its weight in gold.
