VL Prodigy Troubles--HELP!

[Andrew28]

My prodigy has been going along good for about 3 months now and all of a sudden after i got done playing today i shot it a couple times and it went pop-pop, and didnt recock kind of like it was running out of air, but it's not. Everytime I put a tank on it does it for about the first 20-25 shots, then it will start working fine... any ideas? All the o-rings are still good too.

Sometimes if i shoot it pointed directly down it will start working too, i dunno if it's just coincidence that it works when i point it down or not...???

:confused:

Maybe ur velocity is too high or u need to clean and oil ur gun really good. The pop is probly caused by the co2 being released quick and closed quick. Just look for any scratches and stuff and oil ur marker.

The marker is well oiled, o-rings are good, im pretty sure, and the velocity is as low as it goes (which is what ive always played with)

It's weird because if i hook up the co2 and i shoot it down once or twice, it will fix it, but then when i point it back up in the air, or take my co2 off and put it back on again, it will start up again. Weird
