I was playing paintball today, and had a few ball breaks. So I field Stripped it, took the bolt out cleaned, took the barrel off cleaned that, then I ran some tap water through the body to clean the inside a little. I then turned off the safety and the gun wont shoot now, the green little on the bottom flickers, while the red light stays on.

Help plz?

Not sure, but it sounds like a dead battery? Maybe try charging it up and try again?

Josh.. I dont wanna hijack the thread but Im curious as to how many shots you get off your 47/3000 tank on your spyder? Im lookin to get one.

Open up your grip frame and make sure that you didn't get your board wet. Water and electronics don;t do very well as you could imagine. If you did, and I suspect that this was the case, place teh open grip frame under a fan overnite. Then look carefully for oxiddized areas where you can get a board fault. If there is oxidation, geta typewriter eraser and gently remove the oxidation.

Other then that, check your battery, all your wires and connectors, and if all else fails, take it to a tech so they can bench test it.

youll get about 470 shots on a 47/3000
3000 = 10 shots per cubic inch
4500 = 15 shots per cubic inch
^Approximates^

My friend said his dads imagine did the same when he got it wet. He said to leave it for a few days so that whatever it is will cure....thanks everyone.

What if it dosent work in a few days?

I dunno what to tell you man because it says in the manual not to wet the inside of the marker.. maybe you could just say you were playing and fell in the mud or something..

Let it dry. If the circuitboard got wet with tap water chances are there isnt enough dissolved solids in it to ruin the circuitry.

Its working now!!! I let it sit overnight and now it works!! I am happy..

I will give this...
Take off the whole trigger if you are gonna wash it! Then you wont get anything wet, sorta...

.. Yeah next time you plan on washing the body remove the trigger frame. and dry it. let it sit for a while so the ody dries. Then relube everything.

Like most people said u can let it sit and dry. If you ever get the electorics wet dont try to operate the marker. you might short something out. let everything air dry first.
