How to Identify and Resolve Common Issues ?

We offer a diverse range of insights on identifying and resolving common problems in sports. Our sources encompass academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays shared by seasoned athletes. :

The internal gears may be misaligned, and/or the motor may be disconnected or damaged. Multiple rapid beeps indicate the battery charge is completely diminished and will not shoot. Recharge your battery. No blinking or audible beeps may require you to replace the MOSFET.
Most of the sound comes from the electric motor spinning the 3 cogs in the gearbox. The thump is heard when the piston hits the cylinder head. AEG motors can have different sounds as they come in a variety of shapes and power outputs.
All of them make noises when fired. Some more than others. Gas guns are generally louder than spring or electric ones.
Just as you remove BBs from your airsoft when not using it, you should also remove the CO2 cartridge. Thanks to this, the seals in the airsoft gun will last longer. You should also remember to clean the airsoft gun regularly and properly maintain the seals.
Unless there`s a specific reason, once you install the CO2 capsule, you should leave it in the gun until either the capsule is (near) empty or gun maintenance/repair is needed. Gas guns are made to withstand normal pressures over an extended period of time.
What`s the Risk? Those who do not wear eye protection are at risk of eye injury, according to the AAP. Airsoft pellets that strike the eye can cause scratches, painful pooling of blood inside the eye, lens dislocation or blindness. The AAP recommends that kids use paintball-style protective eyewear.
A small . 22-caliber rifle can produce noise around 140 dB, while big-bore rifles and pistols can produce sound over 175 dB. Firing guns in a place where sounds can reverberate, or bounce off walls and other structures, can make noises louder and increase the risk of hearing loss.
Most airsoft guns on the market are usually below 350 ft/s (110 m/s), but projectiles expelled from any type of airsoft gun can travel as slow as 65 ft/s (20 m/s) to more than 700 ft/s (210 m/s) and are capable of breaking skin at 350–400 ft/s (110–120 m/s).
A whisper is about 30 dB, normal conversation is about 60 dB, and a motorcycle engine running is about 95 dB. Noise above 70 dB over a prolonged period of time may start to damage your hearing.
Airsoft typically stings when you feel pain, but it wears off fairly quickly (2 minutes or less). The worst places to get shot are the face, fingers & inner thigh. You should always wear full-face protection. Airsoft guns can chip your teeth which does hurt (even at distances of 30 meters).
Samuel Colt developed the first mass-produced, multi-shot, revolving firearms.
Cold doesn`t just affect the gas used in your airsoft guns, but affects the actual airsoft guns themselves. Metal shrinks in the cold, tightening up tolerances and causing more friction. Liquids become more viscous, meaning lubricants aren`t as effective and provide more resistance. Plastics become brittle and fragile.
CO2 is going to kick harder, shoot faster, and work better in colder temperatures. Due to it`s higher pressure, a CO2 powered pistol will kick much harder than a green gas weapon. Also due to the pressure, most CO2 pistols will have a higher FPS than their Green Gas counterparts.
HOW LONG DOES THE CO2 CARTRIDGE LAST? ​Once penetrated on the first trigger pull, the CO2 cartridge will last 24 hours or 21 shots.
Is it safe? So is an Airsoft replica safe for your 13 year old? Yes, an Airsoft replica is safe and is not a BB gun. Airsoft is safe for teenagers as long as they`ve been taught about handling and safety.
In one study, about 3 out of 10 young patients who suffered air-gun injuries still had poor eyesight after treatment, with visual acuity worse than 20/50. Here are the most common types of eye injuries from air guns: bleeding inside the eye (hyphema) scrapes on the surface of the eye (corneal abrasion)
Airsoft guns are generally considered safer due to their plastic pellets, while BB guns` metal projectiles pose a higher risk of injury.
No Holding or Grappling!

Physical contact between players is not permitted. This is to include excessive shooting of a player and or a game Referee. If a player is caught shooting a referee on purpose or supposed accident, the offending player will be removed from game play.

Assuming the gun is in good working condition, dry firing an airsoft gun shouldn`t be a concern to you. Years ago, the belief was that you`d break or damage your air nozzle because there was no BB in front of it to build pressure.
If overcharged they can explode and cause chemical burns, fires, or even death in some cases.
The rating tells you how long the battery can be used. For example, if the battery has a rated capacity of 1200 mAh, it is expected to shoot more than 1200 times. If the rated capacity of the battery is 3000 mAh, it can shoot more than 3000 times. If you plan to play a lot of games without charging the battery.
Guns are much louder than thunder up close. According to OSHA, limited exposure to impulse (extremely short-duration) sounds, like gunshots, under 140 dB of sound pressure level will not cause hearing damage.
50 caliber (black powder) – 159.7 dB.
For pistols, it is much more normal to see the 150 to 200 FPS range. While for assault rifles, ones below an FPS of 250 are generally not effective. A good FPS for an assault rifle would be anywhere from 300 to 400 FPS. Anything beyond 500 FPS is generally disallowed in most airsoft events due to safety concerns.

I bought a new mossberg 590 a1 shot gun a month ago, I love the gun but its having a couple of problems, the first problem is that when shooting every once in a while i get sprayed in the face with exuast from shooting through the safety very scary! any ideas whats causing this? how to fix it? second is that some times the fireing pin sticks and the gun will not discharge a round? the third problem is that i have had feeding issues with gun where it will not realice a gound from the tube, ive taken a tip of a knife to the stuck round in the tube and it prys out with little effort, these problems dont happen every time i go shooting, just every once in a while, but they a happening more and more, im conserned cause the gun is brand new, and i wanna be safe while shooting, can you guys help me? any ideas/solutions? please help!!!!!!!
ANSWER : Personally, with that many problems, I’d call Mossberg and get a return authorization. None of these things should be happening, especially with a new gun.

My electronic paintball gun works, but the gun won’t shoot. i think the co2 doesn’t feed well because it doesn’t make a loud sound when i shoot. and i have a co2 meter that shows that the tank is full. what is the problem and how do i fix it?
ANSWER : I have a spyder vs1 the lights come on but it wont shoot i pull the trigger but nothing happens at all

I have a tippmann custom pro with a cyclone feeder. I recently got the SAW stock to put on it and encountered some problems many times after I reassembled the gun. I took it apart at least 5 times before I thought it was fixed but now ive encountered another problem. I believe it has to do with the cyclone feeder not responding or something is out of line in the gun. When I picked up the gun to shoot, no paint came out so I took off the CO2 and the barrel and saw that the paintball was 1/3 inside the gun. I also have a problem when im shooting it sometimes does really fast burst. Thank you
ANSWER : Hi there. Tippmann markers are super tough to make sure that they are put back together properly. The stupid clamshell design plus all the little, under engineered parts make it difficult to get it back together properly, especially after installing a stock. I was in the paintball industry for 10 years but have been out of it for a little bit, but i was one of the founding members of Uprising Nation and was a gunsmith/ salesman for PaintballOnline.com / Xtremes. Now with that said…I even had trouble with the tippmann 98’s…and I can rebuild an autococker with my eyes closed but can sometimes be stumped by the tippy’s bad design. It is really tough to diagnose an issue on these guns without looking at it. You may have the ball detent backwards,l missing a pin, sometimes the after market stocks on those are a little too large on the outside diameter preventing the internals from properly seating. The cycloce system may be off due to the valves not meing properly aligned or the connecting rod not being in all the way. Many times though it is incorrect installation of the detent or the deternt gets damages. That little orange peice of **** flap is a mance. I would start there.

It may seem like i am bashing your gun. Im not… Once they are put together properly they work great. Just DONT TAKE THEM APART. lol. If you buy the parts at a local gun shop they will install them for free.

lol I have 6 guns for sale πŸ™‚

Have a good day

I got a sig 552 airsoft gun but it dosent fire it screeches
ANSWER : I have a sig 552 as well and had similar problems but if you take it apart the trigger box will come out and you just need to mess with that a little bit

My gun just beeps when i pull the trigger even when hooked up to hpa.battery is new.last time i used the gun just before it messed up i had it hooked to o2 and it would fire then beep ,i have a anti syphon tube installed to. the air shot out the asa instead of the reg when i took off the tank.usually gun holds air with tank off then you shoot it to get rid of stored air,this time it shot out the asa????
ANSWER : You have probably messed up your solenoid, did you fire the marker straight up with the o2? I would make sure that all of the board settings are back to factory default especially the dwell and reattempt with compressed air. If the marker is still not firing get your hands on a new solenoid for it.

The gun shoots fine, but every time i **** it then shoot, the reloading mechanism doesn’t reset properly and it won’t re-****. It goes back into place, but when i pull the trigger nothing happens. Only when i pull a little harder does it click and shoot again.
ANSWER : Step up your regulator about an 1/8 of a turn

My alpha black paintball gun is shooting 1 to 5 then stopping.
ANSWER : Sounds like it needs to be oiled. A couple of drops in the small hole where your bottle screws on.
Replace bottle and dry fire to see if you got it. Cleaning is just as important. Internals need to be cleaned
and lubed often. I know it’s late but hope it helps someone.
