Ive got a Eblade Evo X that is acting up. During yesterdays tourny, it was firing 2 balls at a time, thus shredding them in the barrel!!! not good!!

Any ideas??

Changed the barrel, it still happened.
No one else had problems with the paint.
The wire anti double ball was still there, and did stop the balls in the breach, so seemed to be working ok.
When the balls broke, no paint on the bolt.
Didnt make a difference if the eye on or off.

HELP!!!!

low power or a cheap battery?

Couple of weeks ago before MM8 I was panicing, my marker was skipping and piling up sometimes up to 5 balls... turns out the battery didnt have enough power to get the solenoid going all the way and kicking the gas off. but the bolt was going back and forth and balls were dropping in..

maybe an answer...

one of the noids in the eblade (the sear one i think) needs a higher voltage than the other so if your batt is low it has plenty of power to run one but the other doesnt do anything, so it all starts playing up a bit....new battery time

Anymore ideas?

heheh can tell you aint had an eblade long!

you need to get into the habit of taking the battery out when you arnt using it, there is a slight power drain even when turned off.

we have a team rule that all eblades get a new battery EVERY tournie first thing in the morning

sounds the daftest thing.....but you would be supprised what people will try before they change the battery!!!!!

in general our team sticks to duracell procells and change them every tournie or if they drop to 2 bars on the eblade batt meter
