Hi i have an angel a1 fly and have a little problem would really like some help. The gun will shoot a stream of say 15 20 balls then have a break where it seems a jam or something is happening and the eye icon has a cross through it. if you shake the hopper / gun it shoots another stream. it is not the hopper as have done drop tests on it and it is fast its an invert halo too. the paint is also pretty consistent and not crap. I am using the boost bolt and a lp bottle if that helps. Thanks very much

Have you cleaned the eyes mate? Are you using a sound activated hopper also?

have a look at this video:


it sound like you are having a bit of bolt stick or similar, which is a common problem with most angels, this video shows you how to fight against it

hope this helps

The eye crossed through means there is no paint in the breech, when you shake the gun/hopper the paint is entering the breech and the gun fires again!
As the lack of firing is not accompanied by a hissing sound I doubt its bolt stick, not something that shaking would sort out anyway!

The invert too is a pretty decent hopper for the money but sound activated hoppers can falter and miss shots from time to time. Beg steal or borrow another hopper and see if the problem persists!
