gun problem

[311automag]

my brother was playing with his minimag yesterday and every once in a while he would pull the trigger and it would sound like the sound when you run out of air that "tic" sound. and also one time the trigger rod wasn't fully pressurized but after the next trigger pull it would be fine. any help would be appreciated. thanks

A number of things could have happened. Usually for me, its because my tank unscrews it self just a tiny bit, but enough to no longer press the pin on the tank valve. This makes the gun not shoot, just screw it back in. The other thing I can think of, is Short Stroking. Try to let the sear pin go fully back before shooting again.

make sure the power tube tip the brass thing is screwed all the way in
