Egrip, WAS, double trigger help

Noob here but I have spent several hours playing with my egrip and I have a couple questions. Note that I have not tried to shoot and will not have a chance till morning (dont want all the neighbors pissed)

1) I read where the metal piece/spring on the double trigger should be removed similar to that of the normal trigger that comes with the egrip. However when I cock the gun and pull the trigger this way nothing happens (with no air attached). When the trigger with the spring piece is attached it will work. Perhaps this is normal operation or should it work when I pull the trigger in this circumstance?

2) The metal leaf that the trigger depresses is incredibly fragile. Should I superglue that piece on there?

3) If the battery runs out is my gun useless or will it still fire like the base grip?

thanks to all. I have read through several posts but I have not found this specific questions and I have to play in roughly 6 hours.

Thanks very much for the reply. Unforntunately I wasted an entire day on the field trying to get this thing to work. Regarding the double trigger it is Tippmann, and the normal trigger that comes with the egrip also has this metal piece taken out. I think I may have realized the problem.

The rear sear will not depress due to the trigger like a standard gun, it rely's on the long metal piece that is right next to the battery to bounce up and down and this is what now controls firing. However mine does not bounce up and down,  so I am wondering what could be wrong.

I installed my normal trigger (the one from the base model containing the metal piece still attached) and it fired fully automatic. However, it chopped my paintballs up something fierce. It would sound fully automatic but shoot one ball and chop the rest. My friend had his on three shot burst and oly one ball would fly out as well but we could hear three shots. I will call tippmann to see what is going on but this e-grip has not gotten off to a good start at all.

Umm, im pretty sure he was just talking about having it with you at the field so if it dies in a game, you leave the game and then put it in so at least when it dies your entire day isnt over.

Is there a magnet next to the solenoid? On mine there is a little magnet right beneath the solenoid that helps pull it back down once it shoots. Check that.
