With a fully charged battery and the air turned on, my first shot will just roll out of the barrel, not make it out, or go basically no where, the second shot is okay. My mates IR3 also does this, an one know why? Cheers

I have very little knowledge of Angels, let alone the Speed (V.Nice by the way) but, could it be some residual preassure in the gun from the previous use, before it recycles on the fresh air supply.
I know with my RT (not making comparisons) if you had very low input in the gun (ie when chrono-ing) then turned up the velocity, the next shot would still be low as the valve still holds the previous preassure. Just an idea.

...

no it isnt that as from having no gas to full working pressure into the gun form a brnad new max flo 4500 it still does it, i think on ir3s and others it is the snap ring, but as the speed doesnt have one i think the dwell needs increasing, oh well cheers neway

When you get a speed, you need to make sure you give it not one, but two full charges. This should get rid of any FSDO issues you may have. You may have to charge it often too, because the FSDO may come back as the charge gets lower. This is because of the voltage out of the battery and the ammount needed by the solenoid. Sometimes the solenoid just isn't getting enough juice.
