I took my brand new phenom out and had nothing but problems, first i couldn't shoot more then 3 balls without a break, I decided to just deal with it and play the day away. Well 5 games later, about 500 paintballs later, the marker just decided to blow up internally. I was on response and i heard a horrible loud blowby some where in the marker around the hopper. It was so bad it blew all the air out of my fresh tank in around 5-10 seconds. I'm very upset with this marker. My a-5 shot straighter, was better on air, and never had such problems. Please HELP!

the same problem i had too

after two days of playing in firing mode the air burst out and done my bottle empty

thats bad

at home i looked a youtube video to maintanance the phenom
i done out the valve and the things inside the valvebody, firing spooler , regulatar and so on and saw that a o-ring into the valvebody was damaged
so now i wait for it to repair the phenom
i never had problems with my a-5 and x7
iam unlucky with this phenom :o(

Did you ever solve this? think im having the same problem...

I only aired the gun up then turned the air off. If I hadnt turned it off it would dump all 3000 psi in about 15 seconds.
