I can feel a significant amount of air coming out of the velocity screw area. Is this normal? What can fix it. By the way I can't get my velocity above 250. thanks

Is there air coming from there all the time, or just when you shoot?

Did you loose the velocity screw??? If not, your powertube probably has a crack or broken. Your loosing velocity, because some of the exhaust is being lost out of that velocity screw area....No efficiency....

put some tape around the screw and put it back it then see what it does.

and by tape he means teflon(sp) but the good news is, your not losing any extra air due to the leak, youll still get the same number of shots |

How do you figure same number of shots? That would depend on his setup and how/why it's leaking.

well, the way the cvx based tippmanns work, as far as velocity
goes, the screw in the front blocks airflow, you screw it in,
more air hits the screw which slows it down. for every shot, the
hammer depreses the pin on the valve, thus opening it, for the same
amount of time, letting the same amount of air out. which is why
when people say longer/shorter barrels are robbing your tippmann of
air, they are wrong. as long as they are adjusting it using the
velocity screw. so he may not get all they way to 280, but he
will still shoot just as much paint.
