After taking it off my paintball gun, I hear air coming out of the top. Is this normal or did I get a defective one? It's fine while on the gun.

There shouldn't be any air coming out when it's not attached to anything, you should contact the seller. Maybe one of the safety valves, pressure gauge, or fill port is loose?

Rub some soapy water on it to see where its coming from, if it's the pin take it to be replaced since the valve stem isn't sitting right. If it's close to the bottle on the bonnet, it may have loosened some so you can retighten the valve assembly to the bottle.

No that is not normal, nor does it mean it defective though. You may have a piece of sand/dirt preventing the seal on the pin to close fully.

Do you bleed the line before removing the tank? I shut off the tank then press the trigger until no more air comes out. I use a remote coil with a quick connect. Doing this I've never had air seep afterward Hope that helps

There is an air release in the plunger. I haven't had a problem with air in my casings.

That means that there is BBS jammed inside the bolt, I had the same problem and I returned the gun for a refund. You could try disassemble the gun and try to unjam it. Try using the UN jamming rod. if it dosen't work try contacting the company or amazon for a refund. This happened to me the first time I used it thought it was a defective gun but maybe they aren't made good.

The orange tip on mine just screwed out. It will get a little bunged up taking it out, so if you don't plan on putting it back on at any time then you are good to go. I however strongly suggest against taking the orange tip out. It is hard to distinguish the real Desert Eagle from the Airsoft one, once you take the tip out. Even in you are using it in your backyard, one phone call from a neighbor, or someone visiting a neighbor, and the police are not going to be so happy about your removing that. Remove at your own risk.

I have removed mine after every time I go to the range when I get back and clean my M4! Haven't had to fix zero yet. Probably had it off 15 times or so now and mine still hits dead center.

I'd suggest checking to ensure all screws are tight, cleaning the barrel and (if those don't resolve the issue) replace the scope. Airguns are notoriously hard on scopes because of the unusual recoil pattern. I'm also going to be replacing my trigger. Probably not the reason for your CHANGE in performance but a better trigger is definitely needed on this gun.

Quick disconnect did not work correctly after about a month of using it for weekend warrior woodsball it started to leak air through CO2 connecter and the marker, and not just a little bit but it would drain the tank. Be cautious if you are buying this, when I had the quick disconnect looked at by my tech he said that they were poorly manufactured. UPDATE:7/25/14 My tech and I have both been using one since January we found that if you over tighten the Quick Disconnect it will cause it to leak air but since then we have not had any problems.

I have never had that problem. The unit is like an inner tube to a tire, but there is no place with a cap to remove and pump in air. I would say it had sprung a leak and needs to be pumped with air and patched at the site of the leak. I would contact the seller.

1st, you should check with the manufacturer of the gun, recommendations do vary. But I often leave mine in if it isn't used up. Typically most weapons will leak over time, so don't expect to get full usage if it has been stored very long.

Mine clogs, but I have found if you take the end of the gun off and clean it out every other time you should not have a problem. But you do need to clean it out otherwise you will eventually ruin the gun.

Check if you got any bbs stuck in there. Make sure you have the mag in all the way. Sometimes the blow back makes the mag fall out just a bit and that'll make a bb caught in the gun

The only way to find out the problem is to take it apart. It's probably a problem in the piston area. So your going to want to take a look at the piston, piston spring, and piston chamber. Also make sure that the seal is still good around the barrel and the hop-up and the piston nozzle.

The Colt 1911 C02 airsoft is a great gun. The first one I purchased from Amazon developed an air leak after a couple of shooting sessions. There appeared to be no easy way to fix the problem so I returned it for a replacement. The new one has had no further issues w/ C02 leaks. The C02 valve is fairly accessible but may require specialized tools/knowledge to replace. It may be easier & more cost effective to purchase a new magazine. Sorry that I can't be of more help. Good luck!

Unscrew cap at front of tube under barrel. drop in co2 cartrige . screw cap back on tight. fire gun empty for first shot to make sure co2 cartrige seated properly. You will hear load burst of air coming out of barrel. if nor tighten cap some more. Thats it.

Are you putting a drop of gun oil on the co2 cartridge as suggested in the owners manual? 2nd does this usually happen right after you putas new ccartridge in? Mine does for some reason. I shoot emptying twice after putting in a new cartridge. That seems to help. It sounds stupid but make sure the pellets aren't in backwards.

Is it leaking the 'air' at the point where the aluminum bottom threads into the black top? If so, I would (which you may have already tried) try to make sure that the inner "straw/stem" piece is seated/centered properly and the top is as snug (without breaking it, obviously) as you can get it. I've had the situation - where mine also leaked as it was pressurized and I had to take the top back off and re-seat the stem piece. Now that I'm more careful to make sure it's seated right, I haven't had any more trouble (and I use it all the time). Also, make sure there is no debris that may be keeping the seal from seating properly. Hope this helps. Good luck.

The first thing I would try would be to make sure you are cleaning the gun thoroughly. Next make sure you test your spray on something first like a wash cloth. If it is coming out uneven or plotchy adjust how much is coming out by turning the knob in the back. You may just need to turn down how much is coming out.
