today i was shooting my ego in the garden and after about 15 shots, it started having a lot of drop off, every single shot for about 4 pods would go 10 feet then drop, the shots sounded very weak too like when when the marker runs out of air and starts to just f@rt out air and balls, although my tank is full.
any ideas what could be wrong?

sorry for the description of the problem but i cant describe it any other way

simple one this mate

change you battery (even if the battery indicator is saying its ok)

99% problems with egos are solved by changing a battery ;)

I learned this lesson the hard way, stripped the whole marker cleaned and lubed everything, then went onto changing o rings etc and thought ooops something is deffo broken, banged in a different battery (it was an old battery i put in actually) and i was shocked it just worked lol. Might be worth you checking the fps over a chrono now its working coz 9/10 people adjust that first :D

I did too mate :)

had an ego 08 nearly new, couldnt understand why it didnt work, balls dropped out the end OR the bolt shook its self loose :confused:
guy said it was the bolt pin, someone else said it was an oring etc etc

battery gauge was saying the battery was good but changed it anyway and then, it was all back to Ego perfectness :cool:


seems to be ok now, Thanks preacherman
Glad it sorted it for you mate ;)
