Hey i recently bought a Alpha Black Elite with e-grip, it uses compressed air, and i bought cheap paintballs (JT) just so i could test it out before i use it (this weekend) and when i was shooting in semi-auto i could shoot fast yea 10-15 BPS but sometimes the gun wouldent re-cock fully and i would have to bull it back some to get it shooting again, this happens when im shooting fast and it also happens when shooting in full auto and 3 roud burst (it happens rather often) 
any ideas on why this would be?

	The problem is you are shooting faster than gravity can feed paintballs into your marker. The reason you have to pull back on the cocking handle is that front bolt is catching a ball that is only half way into the breach. You either need to slow the rate of fire or buy a electronic loader to feed your marker.
