when i shoot my gun it acts as if its fully auto and its not. it will shoot a ball and 3 or 4 shots after that with nothing. i replaced what o rings i could find. still does the same thing. it doesnt do this on every shot though. sometimes it shoots normal. anybody have any suggestions. |

did you make sure the tank was full too? it may be something that simple. Also make sure the tank is screwed on all the way. I have seen that too. if it still doesnt work even after the water trick see if you can borrow a friends tank and try it to make sure its not yuor tank. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

if there is a leak in your braided tube then you can do like i do and just remove it and connect the tank direct or through remote line, lightens your load a little bit and takes the tank out of your way as well ------------- -MiTcH NiChE- |

Don't upgrade the stock bolt. Seriously. Aftermarket internals are, almost always, no better than the stock Tippmann parts. Other markers can benefit from bolt upgrades. Tippmanns rarely can. Also, make sure to dry out the internals of your marker if you submerge it. Though oxidation is extremely unlikely for the most part (aluminum won't in water), it's better to take five minutes to be safe. EDIT: If you decide for some reason to get the goldmember, you will need an RVA, as it does not have a velocity adjustment screw. Don't get it though. Tis a waste of money IMHO. ------------- CPro (w/ polished internals) 14" Bigshot BT SBS Various Rails NcSTAR D4B Macro AA 68/45
