victor problem
I have an old sypder victor that i have used for years and for the past year i have just used it as a loaner gun. well today one of my friends was going to use it but when shot the gun would barley shot the ball out and wouldnt re cock. That tanks was full and i lubed it up last night. Anyone know what could cause this?

Take it apart and clean and lube it is all i can think of.My victor never had this problem but all i had to do was lube it and it was fine.MY victor was an 06 though so there could be slight differences.

check for damaged o rings, as air could be leaking out when the gun is fired. was it chronoing in at a good speed?

Dont play at a field to check for chrono, we play woodsball. But ill take it apart and check it out and see if can see a messed up o ring.

oh ok. yah, a lot of problems like these tend to show up when people just play in a the woods (or not at a field) like i usually do, if you have a field close by, i would go there and get it all checked out if you don't find the problem or you do, but it still persists. i suggest taking you and your playing buddies to go get the markers chronoed, just to be safe, good luck

It sounds like the velocity is really low. That seems like the only reason that it wouldn't shoot or re-cock is if the air isn't getting to the gun.

chrono the guns so they are all shooting at a safe velocity is what i was saying. who nows why, but it could very well be, spyders get messed up velocitys all the time, regardless of if it's been changed or used for years, you just gotta check it to mark it off the list of things to check.

If it isn't the velocity, then maybe you have a blockage in the hose. I had that happen to a buddy of mine and his Spyder TL-R. The only fix for that is to take off the hose and blow through it. Other than that, its gotta be that the air isn't getting to the gun.
