    RT/ Tac Air Up Firing

    I recently purchased a Tac One and a RT. Both have x-valves w/ lvl 10 bolts & the RT has the ULT installed. When I air them up, they fire a shot, sometimes two or three. Happens on both about 90% of the time. Being new to the mag world, is this normal?

      My x-valve micromag with ult always does that too. I always air up before I load.

        I guess it's not really a big deal. I do air them up before I load. Just a bit of an annoyance.

            My gun shoots sometimes when I air it up too. Maybe 50% of the time. I'll try the trigger thing.

              It has to do with Level 10 tuning, I think. If you have it tuned too loosely, that little bit of gas can make it take off before the sear catches. You're probably also being a bit too rough on paint. Any chops? Once I got my gun tuned a bit better, it never did that again. All I hear is a click as the gun cocks itself.

                Can anyone expand on this? Same problem here.

                Mine shoots great other than this issue and I know it wasnt designed to this. In fact its a safety issue that needs to be addressed.

                  I retuned my lvl 10 yesterday. I ended up moving to a longer spring, the middle (red) spring and that fixed it. Now when I air up it just clicks. And it'll be a little easier on the paint now too.
