First of all, I don't know all of the technical terms for the insides of paintball guns so excuse my terminology.
My shutter was making a loud "ting" noise, no noise from the barrel, just a "ting" from the inside. I thought that it was the bolt hitting something. Then I thought it was the striker. So I padded up the end of the striker but it still made that noise, the noise reduced a little though. Then I finaly found what it was. The top part of the trigger goes horizontal with the gun, as if the trigger was the fulcrum and the top was a lever all together to make a T shape. The top part towards the back of the gun moves yet another lever that lets the striker go forward. This is where the noise was coming from. The front of the lever that stops the striker slams down against a pin which stops the lever. The inside of the trigger and handle is hollow and metal which makes for a bell like function. So I simply stuffed kleenex tissues inside of my trigger. Everywhere I could, and in my handle. Now the lever that stops the striker directly hits tissues which is much quieter than directly hitting the pin. And the sound doesn't bounce around all over the place inside of the trigger chamber which makes it quieter and it feels more solid instead of like a little kids toy that's going to fall apart any second. I know this is not a professional way of fixing the problem but it worked great.
