When i screwed my air source gas canistor on my new tippman 98 i could hear the gas escaping through the gun and out of the barrel. I turned the canistor slightly back and then managed about 20 shots before the canistor was empty. Do you think this is a fault with the gun or something else?

tighten up the valve screws, also make sure you have your bolt cocked all the way back, if those don't work then it's a minor o-ring problem, just take it to a proshop it'll cost like 30 cents to fix it

usually the bolt won't cause that big a leak, it's usually a blown o-ring in the power tube, but you could be right, either way it's a quick fix

tippmanns are dead easy to fix. bring it to a proshop and don't worry about it.
