i just got this gun off ebey $30 ish with shipping , and it said as is condition , i have no complaints there, cause i kinda expected something bad. so when i recieved the item it was in amazing comdition, little dirty but overal rilly nice looking marker/pistol. then when i aired it up *SISSSISISIS* barely hearable leak straight through the pistol. okay it still shoots but does leak , i empty the twelve gram and got my tools / paper towels and such. okay i open up the gun and get a basic idea of how it looks together , take it apart and put it back several time over to memorize the inside parts and where they go . now i clean the paint and rust off the inside make it shiner than ever , put it back together it clicks then put screws in . now i ask myself does it work now? get another twelve gram and guess what, more leaking then before . jeez lawezz shuda left the gunk in the gun . it does still shoot . but it does still leak ,
i really want to know how to fix this or if anyone else has had this problem . if it helps i know for sure the piricing thing that punches a hole into the twelve ounce is rusted but does not leak its the main ummm air housing ? the area the air is suposed to go into when it is released from the 12 gram . is like some kinda oring inside of it or something ?
can someone give me a link to some other post about this pistol or a webpage with technical support or maunuals or just plainly someone whos owns and opperates one?
and where could i purchase a *hopper* thig that slides into the slots on the side of the pistol where the paintballs are inserted. i have tried ebay and i have only found one hopper thing on there with a subtotal of like $17 or so . if someone knows of where i could purchase a fairly inexpensive one i would also be greatful or if one might sell me one via private messege.
i am also aware of how long this post is and sorry about that but i am just trying to list whats wrong/not wrong/how to fix it/where to get stuff so please help me out , thanks if you do , just post away.....
