C02 Leak

[irobotnic]

I was just going to dry fire a little bit, I put my tank in, and all the C02 leaked through the gun. Why did this happen? And how can i fix it?

Looks like a O-ring change.

[irobotnic]

This has never happened to me before, do i just use like the o-rings you can buy at Dick's Sporting Goods? Do i need some special kind, I know they give you an o-ring with the gun but I already used it on a new rear bolt Tippmann sent me because my first one was shot......

Yeah any sporting good store with o-rings will work. There isn't any specific o-ring as long as they fit.

Was it leaking through the barrel? If so, it sounds like a valve o-ring.

[irobotnic]

I think it came out the barrel, but is that hard to replace? If so how do i do it? I don't have to take the valve apart do i?

If its the valve o-ring, you will have to take it outta the power tube. Not that hard, just unscrew the powertube and take out the valve, replace the o-ring, then screw the powertube back together and shove the valve back in. making sure the correct end is facing out of course..

[irobotnic]

Well i don't really do this stuff much, but..........I never really take the valve out.....so..........what is a power tube?(Pulls out the flame shield and runs behind the sofa)

Its ok, everyone has to start somewhere. Its that middle piece that is a cylinder with a smaller cylinder coming out the front. It has an open back, and when you look into it you should see a silver circle, thats the valve.
