Angry Problem with my gun

Okay, I have a Viewloader Orion gun and I am having a problem with it. I just started out. Whenever I plug the FULL Co2 tank into the gun, it shoots three times and then it rapidly fires 2 shots like the Co2 is out. It can't be the tank because we tried 2 different tanks on 2 different guns. I have no idea what's going on, do any of you? TIA... Andrew.

Lube your internals, thats what I did when I had the problem with Spyders and such, just put a bit of lube on all the o-rings, and its fine.

On the top of my gun, right before the barrel, there is a plastic clip with two screws. I only have one screw in on it, can this cause the problem?

GAS HOGG!!!!!!! lol i dont think it is the sear b/c the sear on my old dragun wore out a couple times and it doesnt rapid shoot. i hav had problems like this, sometimes it is a blasted o-ring, sometimes it is that an o-ring on the bolt is to big, or sometimes it's that it needs to be lubed. i would replace all the o-rings ($4) then lube it ($4 if u dont hav any) and there shouldnt be a problem.






i'm so smart...huh?

O-ring on the bolt needs to be replaced. Maybe the hammer.

No what you are talking about is the ball detent it keeps the gun from double feeding 2 paintballs in the chamber at the same time, there isnt any way this could cause the problem.

Try putting in the o-rings and get back to us on what happens.
