is your battery dead? how long has it been since you lubed it? if what do you lube it with? make sure your frame is on tightly as well.

I notice it's an electric marker, it's also possible you could be out-shooting your hopper.

Are you using a gravity feed hopper (the one that came with your gun), or some sort of electric hopper?

By the way, one little note. Not trying to jump on you or anything, but try not typing in all caps next time. Lower case are a lot more easier on the eyes, if you catch my drift.

I even tried it with no hopper and only co2 to see if it was the hopper but it still shot whenever it wanted. I havent lubed it yet. And i honestly dont know how lol. I'll make a video showing what it does. And sorry matrix agent bout posting this 2 times but i had no idea how to get to things on the forum.

take the bolt and striker out and put a few drops of paintball or air tool oil on them. that should solve the problem.

You might have some bad electrical connections.

Joecase · November 21st, 12:54 PM

that is most definitely an electrical problem. Try it with a brand new battery and see what happens. if it's still not working, you can check th e wires to make sure they all have solid connections and are not touching anything else.

It HAS to be your battery. You can still hear the clicking sound, so there's juice, just not enough. You can run you battery off of 9V regular batteries, but they're made for 9.6V batteries. Recharge or get namebrand 9V's

Joecase · November 21st, 02:01 PM

That is a new battery. Its a Panasonic 9v. i guess i need rechargeable ones. Thanx and ill let u know if it works. Any suggestion on were 2 get the batteries or what kind 2 get?

***martix_agent*** · November 21st, 02:07 PM

they're pretty expensive and so are the hargers for them. I'd call zap first adn see what they say...no idea where their number is thougha nd i'm getting ready to leave for thanksgiving.

TheAznInvazn · November 21st, 02:12 PM

I think they run off of 9.6 like the Spyders do... If not though, they WILL work with the 9.6.

Just a question, you you have any old RC Cars laying around with the batteries and chargers still working? (Matrix should know where I'm going with this :P)

Joecase · November 21st, 02:12 PM

thanx any way. ill do that

***martix_agent*** · November 21st, 02:28 PM

those rc batterie s wont' fit int eh grip frame will they?

TheAznInvazn · November 21st, 02:41 PM

no, sadly, so you would need a tank bag, but you get like, 4 days of shots out of it, so maybe 40000 shots off one charge

***martix_agent*** · November 21st, 02:50 PM

yeah that's what I thought.

TheAznInvazn · November 21st, 02:59 PM

its pretty nifty though, I like it, it works, but then again, I never got the battery that was supposed to come with the gun, so I had to think of something that would let me play

**BlueShox** · November 21st, 03:03 PM

To thread-starter, you certainly don't need rechargeable batteries to run your gun. I've owned two spyders and haven't used anything other than the 9 volts at the dollar store.

Also, the RC Car battery thing sounds like a good idea, but it seems really impractical for this situation. It sounds more and more like it might be the gun malfunctioning than your battery. I know 9 volts are expensive, I would give a fresh 9 volt another try, and then call Zap.

TheAznInvazn · November 21st, 03:08 PM

they're actually really easy to make, only abo
