Noob needs help w/ ULE Custom.

[Brad Quillen]

Alright... I am an owner of a new ULE custom. I took it to the field and gassed up with a Crossfire 68cu/4500 psi tank and started to play around. I probably got around 300 shots, and now the tank shows 2000 psi and the gun will not recock. I know I need to set the input pressure to between 750-850 psi, according to the manual... but it neglects to tell me how I do that. I'd like to get the marker sorted out tomorrow so I could play a bit. I know I should be getting more than 300 shots from a 68/4500 tank.

I haven't played paintball in 10 years. I got the mag because it's what I wanted when I was a kid. I'm sure I'll need more help, but right now I guess I'll try one thing at a time.

First off make sure the tank has a high pressure output. Most tanks are preset and can't be adjusted. The preset high pressure tanks are usually around 800-850 psi. Check the Crossfire website for your regulator model. http://www.crossfireinc.com/categories.asp?cat=11
The red regulators are the high output one that you need. Set at 800 psi.

Secondly, were you dry firing the marker (no paint)? If so, you'll get way less shots than when shooting paint. So don't judge how many shots you can get off a tank when dry-firing.

Hope that helps...

It helps a lot.

Apparently the marker just needed a break, though. After I had given up on it and left it for dead, I picked it up and fired a bunch more shots... I'd have to say that it's doing exactly what it needs to be doing. I think I'll wait until after I play around a little bit more before posting any more questions.

Now, the only thing that bothers me is that I don't know how it works. Is there a video or something somewhere that will explain to me in detail how what makes this thing tick? I know that things have to go wrong sooner or later and I want to be able to fix my gun when things go wrong. Sorry, but the "manual" is less than adequate .

A chrono is your best bet now. If the velocity screw is too far out it will act funny. As far as your tank output i'd say you have a HP (800-850) tank cause a LP(400-450) tank probably wouldn't let the trigger function. No videos that i know of but doing a search in these forums there is a lot of good info. Welcome to the family.

You can find some vids around here or on youtube.
