I just bought a new TPX pistol. The gun does not work properly. The CO2 cartridge gets punctured properly and the marker fires - but after 9-12 shots it stops shooting. Sometimes the gun just fires one shot and then stops.

I then have to remove the CO2 cartridge as described in the manual. A tried 5 cartridges - all the same. 9-12 shots and that's it.

I disassembled the gun, completely cleaned, checked all o-rings, re-lubed everything and put it back together. No change. After 9-12 shots, the gun won't fire anymore. Still the cartridge provides pressure.

Any ideas?

This happened to me also, check the firing pin in the firing valve. Mine was bent an i had to straighten it out after that it shot fine. Hope that helps.

What is the Gun Chronoed at?

Does the Speed drop with each shoot?

The gun is at 260fps (holded it pretty consistent).

As I wrote in my follow-up post, the gun now only fires a single shot and then stops.

Call Tippmann Costumer Support, Don't email them you will get a faster response. Tell them of your problem, you might need to ship your gun in. But I am certain that they will make it right or replace your Marker.

Again bummer dude, nothing more heartbreaking than having your new Marker Crap out on you.
