when i was out in my backyard shooting tooday i noticed that co2 was
shooting out of the hole where my velocity screw is, people have
suggested that it migh be a stripepd screw ina dfferent forum but i
do0nt think this is the case because i have only ever touched the
velocity screw once. it doesnt matter if the screw is all the way in,
co2 still shoots out, i dont know if this is relevant but i just
changed my tank (i have 2, emtied one) could it be that the tank im
using is overfilled maybe? i donno, please help

it may be screwed out a little to far,
it maybe that u are shooting liquid co2, which after it is in ur gun it expands to a gas increasing the pressure when you screw in ur tanks, point the gun up and screw in the tank, dont point down while shooting -------------  
Hey, Pate, it does feel good to be a gangster. |

yeah that might be it, because my house is running some heavy AC, its
really hot out lately and i keep my gun and tanks inside, that might be
the problem thanks (if anyone else has any other suggestions i'd still
like to hear them)

| Take the velocity screw all the way out. Inpect it for signs that it might be stripped. If it's not, then use some teflon tape on the velocity screw (they'll have it at your local hardware store). That should solve your problem. |
