problems with markers in ireland

[irishsnowman]

hi, just getting into painball here in ireland, and some off my friends are having some problems with there markers.
one is loseing all its air through the gun very quickly, I have replaced all o rings and there dosent seem to be any ware. Is there differant o rings made from differant materials in differant places in the marker, or can you just use the same rings every were.
The other one is a brand new icon auto, but its only firing the balls about 30 feet

You need to be more specific, from what part? Put it under water if you have to and it will bubble from the leak. Make sure that no electronic parts like the trigger frame go in the water if you try that.

The velocity is too low. If you are trying to shoot auto, the CO2 tank will likely get too cold to recharge the gun, and you'll suffer velocity shoot-down. If it always shoots too slow, turn the thumb adjuster in. If that doesn't work put a stronger spring in. An empty CO2 tank can also affect velocity. Remember that velocity is the only factor in distance.

is it cocked first?
