Piranah Owners

[MuckRaker]

Hello, I know y'all are out there. You own Little Fishies and need to know some stuff ... What's the Ram Air Chamber do, What's a good barrel, what's the difference between the VTL and the STS and the Pro ... post those pesky questions here and someone will try to get the answers to you. Or, just tell us why you got a Fishy instead of a Crawly Insect or other Blow Back marker.

Andrew: Thanks for the new forums.

[Nemessis]

Well my friend owns a fishy and I know more about it than he does hehehe, put a trigger job on it so the pull is 3 mm and as light as a featha, not to mention the shims i stuck in to remove the side to side

[Dräko]

I love my fishy and wouldnt trade it for a spyder ever. Only thing tho is i want to run it low pressure :(. I was thinking about getting a PMI REgulator but i want one of those low pressure thingys at the front. Is there a body i have to get to have one.=? or what?

[PiRaNhA69]

i heard the ram air gives you more shots. thats what the field owner said. with mine i dont have the ram air.

[Richy_C]

i want to get an pirahna and make lp but how the hell do you make a fishie lp?

[Dräko]

Wish i new

[PiRaNhA69]

when you go lp you need to get a new valve,reg,compressed air and i think that is it.

You don't need to buy a Low Pressure Chamber since the Ram Air Chamber (the little thingy there where the Low Pressure Chamber is) acts as a Low Pressure Chamber. The only difference, the Ram Air Chamber doesn't store gas.

Inside the Ram Air Chamber is a piston and a spring. When gas is in the gun, it compresses the spring to the back of the chamber, so it's holding gas, but when you pull the trigger the spring and piston surge forward, pushing the gas into the gun. PMI claims this lowers the operating pressure of the gun by giving the gas a "Boost" though the marker.

That's about $2 less than I paid for mine at http://www.bbtpaintball.com. I'd definitly go STS since it has the foregrip.

[NickR]

I realy want the STS G2. But if I find a VTL at a good price( like 80-90) then i'll upgrade it to a STS. If anyone knows someone who is selling a STS or VTL tell me!

[NickR]

If you've got one week until the end of the Auction ... don't bid again until the last hour or so ... you're just giving people an excuse to outbid you now.

[TLplus84]

yeah that's what i'm doing with a cocker that i have my eye on on ebay...bid the last 5 minutes..

[NickR]

Can you believe it!?! the guy has the reserve on a used STS G2 set a $150!!!!! THATS CRAP! A NEW, not USED, STS G2 is only $144!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: What is THE best bolt for a piranha. I was thinking about getting a Cyclone for the STS when i get it. Do they fit piranhas?

:D
Do your homework Nick, A new STS G2 sells from between $144 to $229. $150 is still a good price, but, why bid on one used, just go buy a new one.

[Creek]

Well at the feild today i was offer 150 for my sTs just the way it sits,cause the guy saw i had 3 guns in the back of my truck. I 3 weeks there be a fourth. I getting a Impluse for 424 bucks. I want a emag but have to sell off 2 guns.My RT would not be the choice sTs i loan too friends alot gut it have to be my a-mag if i did

[MuckRaker]

Hey Creek, sounds like you hit the field with an arsenal. What's your primary marker and your backup?

My guess, the RT is your main squeeze.

[NickR]

If anyone knows someone who is selling or thinking about selling a STS G2, tell them to e-amil me at nick_reaves@hotmail.com !

I own a pirahna sts g2 and my trigger some times starts to get all choppy and it clicks each time i pull it how can this be fixed?

What kind of click, like metal on metal, like it's catching on something? And when you say choppy, is there play in the trigger before it actually fires? Just curious.

[NickR]

What is the best bolt for a Piranha? I know the cyclone bolt is good, but does it fit on the fish? Which should I get? II or III? I use PMI Premium (medium bore). And I was going to get a Smart Parts Big Daddy but I found out that it wont work with the cyclone bolt. I will probibly get a DYE Aluminum.

[Mr. Kitty]

There is a click in the trigger kinda like it is scraping by something, sorta like it just barely gets caught on something. By choppy what I mean is that when it is in this mode it has two stages of pulling the trigger. For example, It goes to the click part, then goes to the end, then goes back to the click part, and then straightens.

[Dräko]

I see alot of questions but not alot of answers. Im definetly no expert but can give some of the stuff a shot.

for the trigger guys.
Have you looked at you trigger spring, maybe its boken somhow, id try oiling down your gun for clicking noises.

For Bolts
Im not sure my self but as long as you have a beaver tail most spyder bolts should work

For Barrels.
Ive never haerd of a barrel interferring with the bolt. But for accuracy and quietness theres lots of choices. For those with a little tighter budget theres the Lapco Bighots and J$J ceramics, the ceramics are pretty ugly but very quite and accurate. Now if youve got large piles of money laying around then go for a Dye stainless or boomstick. They are nice barrels but over rated. Another mistake people make is going out and buying a 20" barrel. THEY ARE POINTLESS. I wouldnt suggest anythig over 14 but some may prefer 16" anything higher is pointless.

Hope this helped a bit

[NickR]

The cyclone bolt puts a clockwise spin on the ball. The Smart Parts barrels try and put a counter clockwise spin. spin on the ball. This is why the bolt wont work with it. You can still shoot, its just gonna be realy wierded out.

[Dräko]

A ha, i stand corrected, hope my other stuff was generally right
