does the hammer simply stay forward or do you get the "rapid fire" type of issue like you'd have with a low tank?
My guess is it's either a backwards ball detent or a swollen o-ring. Most likely the former. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

Further advice: Break out the manual (or look at one online) and take your marker apart to learn how everything works.

Have you taken the gun apart yet to investigate? This could be caused by quite a few things and it would be good to know that the gun internals can at least pass a visual inspection. I'll list some possibilities off the top of my head:

I was expecting it much sooner. I think this represents a new era of T&O. ------------- BU Engineering 2012 |
