Spyderbator, the valve on the Orion isn't adjustible, but there's a velocity screw on the back of the gun. Is this what you mean?

Make sure the main spring (in the rear of the lower tube) is properly seated in the adjuster cap and striker, and make sure the rubber thing is around the spring.

As for curving balls, I think it's a side effect of the gun. A Spyder J&J barrel made a difference on my Triad (essentially the same as the Orion), but I'm starting to think the stock bolts on ViewLoader markers, light as they are, are really bad. There's not much you can do since there's no ridiculous venturi to remove.

I made a Delrin bolt on a lathe and got 30fps more velocity. I'm a horrible machinist, so if my crappy bolt outperforms the stock one there must be a problem.

Unfortunately, no one makes aftermarket bolts for VL markers (VL makes a Delrin bolt for $30, but I'm not spending that), and Spyder bolts won't work.

Paintball, what a welcoming sport! Paintball, where your worth as a person is totally dependent on how much you spent on your gun! Paintball, where form is more important than function! Welcome to being insulted by people who can't even spell! Welcome to Paintball! What a great sport!

If that didn't make sense to some of you, this might:
