Man, you are getting help. Ekeboo gave you a good suggestion. Even new out of the box some markers have weak power springs. There is virtually no difference in yours and your friend's marker EXCEPT the ACT. This is a fixable problem. You were asked if you were turning the velocity screw in the correct direction, which is a legitimate question since we all know from experience that players have made that mistake. Now suck it up and interact!

What diameter paint are you using and what is the bore size of your barrel? Is he using the same barrel as you and the same brand and case lot of paint?

Switch barrels and chrono.  If that makes no significant difference, you know the barrel isn't the culprit (which it probably isn't) and then definitely grab a set of Madmanns and use the red spring.  It worked for me.

Okay, Buck, A little knowledge can go a long way. Some things you may not know.

The fit of the ball in the barrel can make 50 to 100 feet per second difference in velocity (or more). Take two paintballs, first one a couple of thousands smaller than the bore; the second one a half a thousands smaller than the bore. With the same pressure behind both, the second ball that fits the bore very closely may exit the barrel 100 fps faster than the first ball that is a "loose" fit.

So two different barrels shooting the same brand of paint may shoot at dramatically different velocities even though the gauge may show exactly the same pressure.

Also, the closer the fit, usually, the better the accuracy.

Nothing is for sure, but there is something you can try. The power spring rides on a rod. Disassemble and put a BB under the head of that rod in the pocket in the back cap. This will compress the spring slightly when you reassemble things giving more power to the hammer. Check you velocity then and see if it has improved. If it has you have found and fixed the problem. You can then either play with the marker with the BB in place or buy the heavier (stronger) spring.

What is the correct procedure for checking if the marker is leaking CO2?

Please do not bump threads that are a year old.

If you can't afford a $7-$9 Spring kit, then you should think about another hobby.

Process of elimination, get the spring kit...if that doesn't fix it, then move onto seeing if you're losing Co2 somewhere. Check all the O rings and contact points.

And Snake6 should change his name to The_N4CER6

Why did you bump a year old thread to answer a question that was answered a year ago? Seriously. You already saw me say not to bump old threads in the post right before yours and you bump it again just for the fun of it? Seriously.

Mods Contacted. This thread needs to die.

So what?!?! Does it seriously kill you that some people aren't as forum knowledgable as you?!?! Who gives a shyt. Get a life.

The fact of the matter is that it is forum rule not to bump old posts. If you didn't know this already, common sense should have told you not to bump the post again after I pointed this out in the post right before yours. You really cannot plead ignorace on this one because it was pointed out clear as day within this very thread.

Also, nice filter dodge. Let me guess, you didn't know that was against the rules either? I hope you like strikes.

No the fact of the matter is, you're a loser for taking this forum stuff so seriously and I think it's friggen hilarious. Strikes, rules?!?! BWAHAHAHA!!! You're an idiot. You obviously have waaaaay too much time on your hands. Are you ever Offline?!!??!

I've just been reading all of your comments/remarks and you're pretty pathetic. I didn't come on here looking for a fight, and the way you come off trying to be all stone cold isn't fooling anyone. There is more to life than the Tippmann Forum there "Snake6" buddy.

Don't get too worked up...........
