Impulse Q

Alot of Impulse's do this, and it is a standard problem now!

All it is, the Impulse requires blow back (air rebounding off the ball) to get the bolt to recock and in fact the whole gun to cycle properly!

If anyone read the manuals (not many do) then they would know that its not a good idea to continiously dry fire it for this reason!

It just that the bolt goes forward then the hammer stays forward pushing on the valve, keeping it open!

Getting a tapeworm will cure this and give a higher ROF at the same time!

In Impulse's, its all about balancing... balancing air pressures, balancing internals etc.

You can dryfire all you like, it wont affect it in the slightest. Also, i dont see why it would need air 'rebounding' off the ball to get it to cycle properly since the solenoid fills the front of the ram with air to push the bolt and hammer backwards until it is ready to fire again.

PS Phil Webb will also say that dryfiring will do nothing to the marker.

dry firing will not harm it at all, and fitting a tapeworm will not give you a higher ROF either.

These are not my words.... if you read the information that comes with an Impulse it is stated there!

For reasons of bolt stick i believe, but you need to dry fire it up to 100psi anyways, to make sure it cycles before you throw paint in!


Dont go against my word... i was mearly quoting the documentation!
