Please help a stoopid noobee with is xmag...
Okay, here goes. Please don't flame me, or tell me to RTFM. I am posting from work and don't even have the marker available (nor the CD/manual). Please forgive my ignorance on this, I am trying to learn as I go.
When I recieved my Xmag last month, the first thing I did was hook up a remote hose to the valve and plug in my big 114 tank and dry fire. well, it wouldn't fire, and that's when I discovered that pesky ACE setting that needed to change to mode 00 for dryfiring.
Shot what air I had left in that tank (hundred or so shots). She has been sitting there waiting for me to finish setting her up and go again.
I finally got a omega drop and ASA for her, and set her up with a macro hose (I waited to order the SS line until I knew how I wanted to set her up so I could have th right length, I also have a place that has green heat-shrink wrap for the hose). I screw in a fixed output PMI hpa with 2k pressure and now it gets interesting.
The marker just clicks. I don't know enough to say what is clicking, but the trigger rod mechanism seems to want to engage, but the bolt doesn't go.
The first thing I did was charge the battery (I hadn't charged it once since receiving it until now), even though I hadn't seen a low battery signal on the LED. - does the same thing.
here is my questions:
1. (this is probably going to get me the noobee of the year award) - there seems to be a safety button or something on the grip frame toward the rear of the marker. I have tried in both positions and still just clicks. - what is this thing?
2. When in ACE mode 00 should I be able to dry-fire with no breech installed?
My first thought is that I need to adjust the ACE, but don't know anything about that other than:
any suggestions? comments? flames? anything?
