| Problem |
Solution |
|
Paintball Marker shoots too fast |
- Reduce the velocity by turning the velocity adjuster counter clockwise
- Make a softer spring, either by cutting no more than 1-2 cms from the
spring, or buying a softer spring
|
|
Paintball Marker shoots too slow |
- Change to harder spring
- The Marker is dirty
- The wrong gun oil is being used
- the spring is worn out
|
|
Paintball Marker Chops balls |
- Adjust your velocity, make sure it fires faster than 240 fps and less
than 300 fps.
- Make sure the quality of paint is suitable for the gun(see below)
|
|
Paintball Marker leaks where the bottle connects to the gun (bottom line) |
- Make sure that the CO2 bottle has an O-ring attached to the nozzle
|
|
Paintball Marker Rapid Fires |
This conditions occurs during a few situations:
- CO2 bottle is low on gas.
- It is too cold. An expansion chamber will remedy the situation
- The velocity is too low

| How to
Determine Bad paint |
Paint is very fragile, and needs to be taken care of, and
used immediately.
- Always use your paint as soon as possible. When paint is sedentary for
long periods of time, the liquid will settle to the bottow, disforming the
ball, which tends to cause erratic flightpaths and chopping, and weakening
of the paintball wall, which leads to breaks
- If you have to store paint, please store it in a cool dry place. Heat
and moisture weakens and deforms the balls, which leads to breaks and
