When low on co2, why does it go full-auto?

[jaredu]

I have wondered this for a while. Why does it go full-auto when a gun is running low on co2? What things happen?

[AftermathFan]

Don't quote me on this, but I think its because it doesn't have enough pressure to go ALL the way back, so it goes forward, AGAIN AND AGAIN, untill it is out of pressure completely. I THINK.

Can anyone conferm this?

it doesnt go full-auto it just burps.

there isnt enough air to fire the marker.

[TheSickness]

it goes full auto because there isnt enough pressure to full recock the gun and it onlygoes part way then comes back and reapeats

Exactly what sickness said. It doesn't have enough pressure to recock itself so it pushes the striker and it doesn't catch the sear and then strikes the valve and it pushes the striker but doesn't catch the sear etc.

There's not enough CO2-pressure to fully recock the marker.

So I was rigt?

[pr0kch0p]

my spyder doesnt do that though when i run out of air . . .

it just burps and then i have to recock it myself.

what marker goes "full-auto" when this happens?

[jaredu]

Ok....I kinda thought that is what happened.


Thanks

Well, when I mean full-auto, I mean that is makes the same sound as you are shooting, but really fast. Me and my friends call it full-auto, but I guess you call it burping.

We know what you ment. It's not shooint paint (usually) so it's not really full auto but everyone knows what your are talking about when you say low on gas and full auto together. If your marker is doing this when your tank is not empty you need to clean something... or make something less restrictive. If you take a shot and some paint gets in the marker it can cause it to burp every few shots until cleaned. Also a secondary reg that is starving the marker for air can cause this, even if your tank is full.

I get really excited when I hear that sound! Cause I know a bunkering is about to happen!:D The only time I don't like it, is when it's me! :eek:

hehe...my friend owns a tippman procarbine...he can mimick that sound..of being out of air, by pushing his thumb against the bolt lever firmly and pulling the trigger...sounds like he's out of air...the other team starts advancing..and he pops up and shoots em all. He's a dirty little player.
