I know this a Tippmann form but i have not been able to find any forms related to piranha and i know there are a lot of paintball savvy people here. I have a Piranha STS 2K3. I took it apart and painted it, i also replaced the springs and O-rings with a piranha replacement part kit. Once reassembled the gun only fires once when you cock it. It also drops extremely fast. There are no leaks that i can see or hear and i have no idea what the problem is. So if any one has any ideas please let me know. Thanks.

make sure you didnt put the bolt in upside down (not sure if thats pissible on that model) or your valve back in backwards.

Did you block off the tubes of the body before you painted it? Maybe excess paint is causing drag and preventing the bolt/hammer from cycling.

Wouldn't it be more fun if you invited them to play but didn't give them a working marker?
