problem with my Phantom

Friedmoose · 10-05-2009, 03:29 PM

The other day i was cleaning my phantom, everything was fine nothing out of the ordinary. It wasn't until after I had put it back together and was walking back to my room that I noticed that there was sliding around inside my marker. I took it apart looked at it, nothing looked wrong, so i figured i put it back together wrong. After reassembling my marker i shook it and again this sliding. I must have repeated this process 11 times. I've shot air through it, shot paint through, it seems fine. I've just never heard this shaking before. I think it might be that the spring it losing tension but I've only had it for about 2 months and I've only played 3 times (about 18 hours), I haven't even had time to get good with it (shutup ive never played pump before). Does anybody know what is wrong?!

its probably just the pump arm wobbeling.

its defiantly not the pump arm, its inside the main body tube thing, either the hammer or the bolt, my guess is the hammer, but it has never done that before

without air the hammer wont latch onto the sear. So its most likely the sear moving or the hammer is actually sliding back and forth.

so is this a problem? is it just the spring loosing tension?

It is normal, and no, not really a problem. Kinda annoying, but not a problem. As long as it is cycling fine, and still shooting paint at a good velocity, then I wouldn't be too concerned about it. I have only had 1 Phantom that has had that issue, and it always worked for me just fine. My other 3 have never done that.
