Help!!! Messed Up Shooting!!

[Madd Oktober]

Arggg!!! Im soooo mad. MY MAG HAS NEVER WORKED!!!

The problem is that when I screw in the tank ill hear the air going in and then the gun will shoot randomly... click, five seconds later, shoot again, over and over and over till air runs out. I even try to shoot when its doing this and my frame (boo-yahh) will click just like it does when air isnt going through it but it is still randomly shhoting! Do i need a new Macro Line?? A new whole main valve? PLEASE HELP! I have a tourney on Novermber 15 and I CANT MISS IT!!!

You should probably just give the gun to me

Ok, do you have a non-electric frame? If you do throw that on and see if you have the same problem. I would normally tell you to check your bolt and sear for wear, I don't know much about those electronic grips though.

Welcome to AO! Is this a new problem or has it happened before? Have you changed anything on your gun lately? You mentioned a Boo-yaah, is that new or had it for a while? Are you using a level 10 or level 7 bolt? Compressed air or Co2?

OK I just reread your post and you say that it's never worked! About the boo-yaah, they require a different on/off pin. I'm not sure who put the frame on but if it's running a stock on/off that may cause problems. It sounded a little like freaky bolt stick at first. As Pyro mentioned check for excessive wear, it could be that or a bad frame on/off combo. Switching to a mech. frame if possible was a good suggestion too!

[Madd Oktober]

Ill ask the guy I bought it from... also, I cant find the mech frame... where can i find it?

[ChucktheMAGician]

A Mechanical frame would be just a non-electric one. In your case it would be something other than the Boo-Yaah. Sometimes when people upgrade they still have the parts that were on there from before. The guy you brought it from may still have it if he switched the frames out. The idea was to try that and see if the Boo-yaah might have been the problem or if it was something in the valve. Hope I wrote that well, good luck

Madd Oktober, I see you are in Houston. Take it to Paintball Maxx and talk to Brad, he is one of AGD's satalite techs.

Paintball Maxx is on Beltway 8 just south of 290, it is on the west side of the road pretty close to the big toll plaza.

I do not know the phone number but I am pretty sure the website is www.paintballmaxx.com

[Madd Oktober]

yeah i just got it back from brad and he said he didnt know what was wrong with it. I think there is a automag retailer around houston and ill try to take it to them but thatll mean ill miss my tourney

[PyRo]

Hmm, if Brad didn't know what was wrong you may have a problem. Did he mention if the problem was in the valve or the frame though, did he try a mechanical trigger frame?

[FSU_Paintball]

Did you try putting a fresh battery in?

[hostage]

Is it firing when the booyaah is on? It might be the on/off pin. I would have to take a look at it, I am well known for fixing mags.

PLEASE REPLY FAST!!!

THE SEAR:

About the sear. As you know I have a boo-yahh frame. I noticed that my sear didnt have the long skinny part going from the bottom part of the sear. Im guessing that is used to recock the syllanoid. I have a gut feeling that is what is wrong with my gun... the syllanoid is only being recocked evey 5 seconds. Do i need that long skinny part going down from the neck of the sear for my boo-yah? Also how would i know whether or not the recent owner of the gun bought the new on/off thing for it?
How is it different from the stock thing?

PLEASE REPLY VERY SOON!! MUST ORDER PARTS TONIGHT IF NEEDED!!!

[PyRo]

That would be the trigger rod your talking about. Unfortunatly I have never used a Boo Ya frame, so i'm unsure of how they work. Sorry.

[ChucktheMAGician]

The trigger rod isn't used on Boo-yaah's

[hostage]

Please do me a favor and read my FAQ see if that helps. I think its most likely your battery, off brand batteries suck btw. Also try increase your pulse, if that doesn't work, its hard to say with out having my hands on it.

no, you do not need the trigger assembly pin. I have a boo yah myself and it took me forevr t get it working. First, take a look at the on off pin. If the small brass piece is thicker (top to bottom) than 1/4 inch, than you have the incorrect on/off assembly. If it is about 1/4 of an inch thick, you have the right on/off that is used for the boo-yah. This could be the problem. If you do have the right on/off. It could possible be the bolt spacing, but i doubt it. check the on/off assembly first. With the boo yah on/off, the piece that the on off rod slides through (piece with o-ring) should be much larger than the small brass piece inside.
