| Ok so I just got mine in the mail today and at first it wouldnt shoot but i solved that with some oil but after I got it shooting it was double feeding and shooting two balls at once about every other shot. Also, the shots that were only shooting one ball were all over the place (curving left, right wherever). The balls were a little small and kinda old with a just filled up co2 tank. What could be causing this to happen? |

The shooting double loads and going all over the place is probably related to the fact that your balls are old and small. However, you should check to make sure the ball latch is properly installed anyway. If it is, try some different paint. Additionally, the double feeding may have caused paint to break in the marker which affects accuracy. Check/clean out the barrel and marker.

Yesterday you are talking about making or starring in adult movies and now you're talking about shooting double loads and some dudes old small balls. You are worrying me a bit. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |
