I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT MY GUN AND ITS C02

[RedWidow]

the other day I was playing paintball and when my balls were almost out my gun started acting like an automatic, it only sounded like it, it didnt shoot like it. IT started flipping out and I thought it was my C02 at first so I changed my o ring but it did it again, help me

tha'ts what happens when the pressure gets too low and your gun doesnt' have the pressure to recock the gun. This happens when your co2 is low, when you're rapid firing for a long period of time, or when it is really cold ouside. Co2 needs heat to expand, but when tehre is little/no heat, the co2 can't expand, therfore does not have enough prssure to recock. When you are rapid firing, soemtimes the co2 won't expand fast enough, and not enouph pressure will enter the gun, causing it to burp, or go full auto on you.

What TL said, and also, make sure your tank is full. It'll continue to cycle like that if you're out. Immediately unscrew the tank. Failure to do so could cause the constant cycling of the bolt to wear down the sear in some markers, if not all.

Damn, they pretty much said everything that needs to be said. I would reccomend getting an ASA (that black thing that you screw your tank into) with a guage. You can see how much pressure is left in your tank, and you'll know when you need to change it. That's what I had on my Spyder, and I found it very useful. Looks cool too :)

damn and here I thought it was cool when that happened I used to take the triger pin out of my pirahna just to see that happen I mean I could paint an entire house with the amount of ball my piranha used to chop when I did that :)
