3000 shots on a 1.5 is impressive, i've managed about 1800+ from an A4 on a 1.4 angel air, no wonder Mr Collier goes on about them so much.

lets just say, at campaign a team mate with a viking goes "oh **** i forgot to fill my tank" just before a game....then goes, oh woops, ive got a viking and i only have 2000psi left...i can still shoot my whole pack and more

AKA should really call themselves "the efficiency experts" and lose that whole low pressure thing. It is hype, it makes people think low pressure is the end all be all, when really, it is a side effect, not a legitimate goal in and of itself. But yeah, AKA guns are as efficient as they are blocky. Which is to say, hella.

Jeez I was all ready to jump in, my mouse hovering over the quote button, it seems however my work is done, the gospel has been spread!

Superb

Now, all that needs to happen now is everyone buys one!!

Ok, Paul's is more efficient than it is blocky. I want to like AKA guns, but I can't. I should- intellectually I dig 'em, but I just don't feel any chemistry. How can you make a solid gun, with low operating pressure and a very light bolt, and have it kick so much? Mind you, it slowly bucks upward in a steady direction, but the force as you shoot a steady rope of paint is surprising. This is my biggest beef with Vikings.

To the original question- there must be a damaged seal or something. I am not really conversant in the specifics of Bushmaster 2000s, but 400 shots is terrible on any tank.

The kick aint bad at all once broken in.

i can't hear any seal passing, but as you say i think a full strip down and inspection is in order.

Whats the dwell set at?
how is your paint barrel match?
what barrel?
What's your input pressure?
When was it last stripped, cleaned and oiled?

Just posting the same Paul.

When was it last serviced, could do with one probably, and settings are important.

We need someone here who knows the marker.

dwell-unsure, have not checked set up as only owned about a month, paint barrel match is good, freak barrel system, input pressure-400psi at hp reg down to 275 on tourney reg then to 90psi on lp reg, last stripped cleaned and oiled yesterday.
