Is this normal for HPA

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I have a 45/3000 HPA tank that I haven't used yet. When I attached it to my A-5 I shot it dry once(with out paint) then unscrewed and put everything away. When I bought it I did not get it filled as his tank was low and I don't plan to play for a little bit. 

My concern is that when I mounted my G36c Folding Stock to make sure that it would not rub against the tank it sounded like air was coming out of the barrel. Is that normal, I figured it was(due to the tank being so low) but I don't want to get to my next game fill up my tank and be screwed.

Thanks for any help

	Was your marker cocked when you heard the sound? If not, that is the problem. The rear hammer on a Tippmann sits on the valve pin thus releasing air when the marker is aired up but not cocked. Pull the cocking lever back, I bet it fixes your problem.

	Thanks Snake that makes sense when I cocked it the sound stopped I fired but I don't think there was enough air to re-cock the gun so it just bled out. I guess I will find out Wednesday :) Edited by Gudranx - 05 May 2008 at 5:28pm
