A couple warp feed questions...

[rtfire1]

the warpfeed works fine with most blow back markers some markers are just not made for fast then 4bps. did you check your o rings

Don't forget your marker was ghetto-rigged at the feedneck. That could cause problems, too. I've used PTP's adapter on my Spyder with no problems. Because the Warp is a force-fed loader, blowback shouldn't be a problem, especially with the venting on the 90 degree adapter. Balls might be getting hung up where you have the Warp adapter attached to your gun and affecting feeding.

Marker Backstory

This is not the first time the marker has done this. I've been battling this problem with this marker for over a year now.

It worked fine two years ago...of matter of fact, I started using it instead of my Spyder because it was lighter and faster.

Then, last year, I noticed that the velocity was low...so I increased to a stiffer spring. But then it chopped. So, I went back to the old spring and replaced all the o-rings. But the marker still had a low velocity. I polished the internals...that didn't work.

I tried fiddling with a turbo valve...that didn't work either...it just leaked like mad. Come to find out most people that have ever tried to use a 32 degrees turbo valve have found the same problem with leaking.

I finally broke down and sent the marker to 32 degrees. All they did was put the original main spring in it and send it back to me. When I fired it, it was shooting low. I e-mailed 32 degrees about it and asked them if they chronoed it before sending it to me because the reason I changed the spring was that it was shooting low. The tech guy at 32 degrees pretty much e-mailed me back lecturing me that they were doing me a favor by looking at it because it was an old marker and that the best course of action would be to upgrade to a better marker. I asked to talk to his supervisor because I thought that was an absurd response...he claimed he was the supervisor.

So, then I decided to just sell it. I listed it with a bunch of other stuff (mask, CO2 tank, bag, etc...) for $65 on Ebay. The highest bid was $45 so I decided to keep it and mess with it some more.

I put the less stiff spring in it and turned the velocity up to about 255fps. Even at that speed...at about 5bps, it chopped...badly...so bad that the ball shells would jam the entire gun.

I thought maybe I could keep the blowback from happening by increasing the diameter of the o-rings that go around the bolt. The problem was, standard o-rings are either the same size, too small, or too big. So I actually ordered specially made o-rings...at about $1 a piece...two different kinds. None of them worked.

I then thought a forcefeed sytem could counteract the blowback...enter the Warp.

Now, as to the makeshift connector, it was definitely not the problem. It was dremmeled and polished to the exact size as the storebought one...but at 1/10 the price. The storebought adaptor would have only stayed in if it was bolted down...I had trouble even holding down the 90degree adaptor the blowback was so bad.

So...I'm done. I'm sick of this stupid marker. I paid $85 for it 4 years ago...I probably have $200 into it trying to get it to work...and even in a package with other paintball items, I can't even get $65 for it...heck, I'll be lucky to get $45 for it. Oh well, it's not worth my time...I might as well put $15 into Paypal rather than just throw it away. Hopefully whoever buys it fires slow or doesn't have the same problems I have had.

you get what you pay for........you bught an $85 gun and you got an $85 gun.....the spyders seem to be gaining in popularity...try one of them....i had one when i first started and had no problems with it at all....

screw that...I got a Mag now...no sense in downgrading. Besides, I have a Spyder...a great gun...had it for years...definitely better quality than 32 degrees for certain.
