What BB weight are you using? I heard BBs effect your piston.

Re: WHATS GOING ON?
That's your problem man. Those are too heavy. Try sanding them down a little with some 100grit sandpaper.

they are biodegradable, so should i just leave them in water overnight and they will get lighter right?2nd Ranger wrote:That's your problem man. Those are too heavy. Try sanding them down a little with some 100grit sandpaper.

Re: WHATS GOING ON?
No, no, no, you guys are all wrong.
What's happening is his pistons aren't meshing with his air nozzle. The air nozzle is too large, you'll need to get a smaller one. When the piston gets pulled back, that air nozzle is pulled back with it, or that's what SHOULD be happening. The nozzle being too long is causing the piston to start off twisted, this is causing the spring guide to mesh with it improperly, putting too much pressure at the release tooth of the piston. That's what's causing the release tooth to fall off. If you just get some super glue, you can glue it back on and save some money. But you'll have to keep doing it until you have a properly sized air nozzle.
Also, be sure to add some folic acid to the water to help with lightening the bbs. Only leave them in for 1 hour at a time and try them out. If you lighten them too much, they won't work at all. Take your time, do it right.
Oh, feel free to PM me if you have any more questions, I'm happy to help!
Probably the most bs I've ever written in my life... You guys are ridiculous

Re: WHATS GOING ON?
If you soak the piston in a 50/50 mix of bleach and ammonia, the chemical reaction will cause the plastic to get harder and prevent the tooth from breaking.

Area of Engagement. Meaning the sucky places you have been playing painsoft in like your backyard. Maybe try Red Fox. I know the ACTS team had a game there a couple weeks ago. That might be more up your ally.
The last game I attended was- Op Iron Marches

There have been a lot of games since the last fatality. Roses are red, violets are blue, so is your car at 102
