Ok, so when I am shooting my minimag, it seems to shoot fine if I am going at a slow cadence, like not trying to shoot fast. But, as soon as I start to fire faster it will start to sound like it is leaking a little bit of air at the end of every trigger stroke. Eventually, if I keep shooting faster it will just stop firing and air will start coming out in a constant stream. If I depress the trigger when the air is coming out though, it will stop, which lets me unscrew the tank.

What could the problem be? Something with the on/off?

Also, I havn't upgraded anything. I don't even know what valve it has on it, other than it says minimag on the side. I can give you the serial number though. If the s/n can tell me information about the marker, please tell me how to interpret it. Thanks for any help!

Replace the bolt spring to start. You may need to change powertube spacers. Usually, a shorter spacer stops leaking down the powertube. If you have a powertube spring instead of a spacer, then get a spacer kit. Better yet, put the money towards a level 10 bolt kit.
