Problem with Eradicator

[SortaWorthless]

My Eradicator started shooting Co2 out of the area where the hose thing ( I'm not sure what it's called) where it connects to the marker. Any help would be apreciated.

Put a new Co2 tank o-ring on your tank.

[SortaWorthless]

No its not were it connects to the tank its were it connects to the marker but i did put a new o ring on it. It still didn't work.

[camoman5000]

Ahhh I see. Take off the hose, there may be some little o-ring on the hose thats broken. I suggest wrapping some teflon tape a few times around the hose's threads, then screw it back in. Teflon Tape is wondferul stuff. Then see if it leaks:tup:

[SortaWorthless]

Thanks a ton. I'll try that out.

Eradicator, huh? I used to have a Marauder (same thing, no scope). And what do ya know... this is the first problem I had with it. Never found a cure that worked... had to move on and get a VL. I suggest the same.

well maybe you should have invested your money in a better gun, u get what you pay for.

[gobs_04]

i have an eradicator too are u talkin about a little hole it leaks out of if you are then i think your co2 tank isnt holding air that is what was wrong with mine

[RADIOACTIVErice]

Wow, I must be lucky or something because my marauder (or if you must...eradicator) hasn't ever leaked or gave me much trouble.........well except the pins flying out..

get a new gun, eradicator sucks real bad!

I love how people are quick to say this gun sucks and say bad things about it. Just as anything in life its mass produced and things will happen spec when they are a product of the PRC.

My Eradicator was bought used from a pawn shop after reading a poor and nasty review on the Eradicator. I just had to buy one just to find out myself.

My Eradicator has no problems in the gas system, barrel, ball delivery, or accuracy. Shots made with no sights are very good considering the cost. Out of 500+ balls 2 broke total, and a quick swipe and the gun was back in action.

Friends Eradicator, Broke 2 balls all day as well, No other problems.

Friends Sons Eradicator, no problems what so ever and had a hard time avoiding his dang shots, kids good with a gun.



In my opinion the Eradicator is Accurate, reliable, Economical, Fun that is the good points. Here are the bad points. Grip feels horrible but after a bit of dremel tool work and a fresh coat of camo paint, I am happy with the performance of the gun. Oh when I got my gun the aftermarket hopper had a crack on it.

Understand that opinion is ok but Dont criticize a gun unless you have owned one yourself and know what you did or what it did to cause a problem. If a friend owned one and it was a lemon, that doesnt qualify you to make an accurate review of the gun.

MY hate for the marauder was based off actually owning one.
Cons: Snapped the trigger off, then the SS hose started leaking, barrel is a POS, tons of blowback, loud, big, grips/frame.

Pros: it shot unbroken paintballs 70% of the time.


Just my quick review, you really get what your pay for.
For the price Spyder victor > everything else $50 and under

Some of the guys I play with have Eradicators/Marauders and yes we do make fun of them and light them up pretty badly with our electros but truthfully they are not too bad. My neighbours have owned two Marauders (one each) for almost two years and with the exception of cold weather they perform very reliably.
