i have tried troubleshooting using moodypaintball but i really am ready to throw it in the bin with frustration!

All it does is cock but doesn't fire!? Have tried screwing the IVG in or out, checked the bolt is the right way and other basics but with no avail.





Any help is much appreciated! thanks

when you hold the trigger back the bolt stays back and goes forward when you let go but doesn't fire.

Starting at the basics is this a mech or e-blade?

If you manually pull the cocking rod back, does it catch the sear and stay back until you pull the trigger?

nope,

You know, im sure it DID, cus at one point it would fire once out of 10 times, and I remember cocking it before shooting, but so many people have put their collective cocker 'knowledge' together and now I don't think it'll even cock!

So first things first then really.

If, it will not cock when you pull the COCKING rod back, then:

1) Cocking rod is not screwed in fully or the knob on the back has wound in and will not allow sufficient movement to engage the sear.

2) Sear is sticking/stuck down, spring lost or broken etc.

3) Lug is not wound down far enough.

Pump rod length is preventing full cycle and not allowing sear to engage (like the cocking rod knob situation).
