I recently bought a qev for my cyclone feed however I have not bought my egrip yet so im just trying to use it for the mechanical setup, however it wont feed. At first it did then I thought I was jamming up because it was only shooting every other shot (got me shot down btw) then it turned to like 1 for every 5 shots, then nothing the paddles dont spin.

what is wrong

Hey Kris,

Any audible signs off air leaking when you pull the trigger? If not, disassemble and clean+lubricate the entire cyclone feed. Check the Cylinder plug, spring and piston for a fail point. Don't over-tighten any of the screws holding it together.

well actually that day something was wrong with my reg on my bottle, I think the burst disk was leaking, but only when I screwed it into a gun, but nothing out of the gun
