| Hey guys, I'm new to this... I'm borrowing a friends A5 and 98 Custom. He said they work fine, but everytime I cock the gun I can only shoot it once before I have to cock the gun again. Essentially making it a single shot gun. What do I need to do to fix this?? I'm running 20oz CO2, double trigger and an expansion chamber on the A5, and just a 20oz CO2 on the 98 Custom. Help would be appreciated, as I said... I'm new to this. Thanks!!! |

1. Make sure the CO2 tank is full.
2. Oil the marker.
3. Check the O-ring on the rear bolt. Inspect it very closely for wear and damage.
4. Replace the drive spring.

also may just be a simpler fix. screw the tank all the way on. then unscrew it 1/8 - 1/4 a turn. sometimes the pin that pushes the pin in on the tank actually blocks the air flow somewhat. I would also tank the expansion chamber off and try it. if it works there is either a leak or blockage in the expansions chamber. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

So you are saying it's happening with both markers? Are the tanks full? ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |
