I know this a Tippmann form but i have not been able to find any forms related to piranha and i know there are a lot of paintball savvy people here. I have a Piranha STS 2K3. I took it apart and painted it, i also replaced the springs and O-rings with a piranha replacement part kit. Once reassembled the gun only fires once when you cock it. It also drops extremely fast. There are no leaks that i can see or hear and i have no idea what the problem is. So if any one has any ideas please let me know. Thanks.

| make sure you didnt put the bolt in upside down (not sure if thats pissible on that model) or your valve back in backwards. |

The bolt doesn't go in backwards and i double checked the valve. Thanks for the advice though.

| Did you block off the tubes of the body before you painted it? Maybe excess paint is causing drag and preventing the bolt/hammer from cycling. |

i didnt block those off, thanks. I will try sanding off excess paint and i will oil it again.

Wouldn't it be more fun if you invited them to play but didn't give them a working marker? -------------
