Hilti gx3 misfires

Hi I have recently purchased a gx3 for our new project and I have experience with gas operated tools (gx100)
my question is the gx3 refuses to fire many times with a full gas tank and nails I work in Cyprus where temperatures are hot and humid

Gx3 misfire,Humid environment

That's not even close to what this guy is talking about. We have several GX3s and they all have this same issue. Oftentimes we need to pump the gun twice to get it to shoot the pin, sometimes it does it fit every single pin. This is a huge problem when trying to shoot things to steel beams, above your head, through a ceiling grid. Our guys fight over the gx 120s we have since they're far more reliable. Honestly this is an incredibly common problem but for some reason you guys have been ignoring it for years.
