Hi guys, just finished wiping off the paint from the tippmann challenge off my marker then stuck in my bottle, upon doing so nothing changed it still fired air with the eyes off etc.. however the pressure dial has moved from a tad under 200 hundred to about 170-80?

Following that i put a pod of paint in the rotor and fired it outside, again nothing SEEMED wrong, the only thing thats weirding me out at the moment is the pressure needle bouncing very slightly back and forth everytime i fire, is that normal and ive never noticed it before?

If anyone can shed some light on these 'niggles' it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

yes mate a flutter on the guage is completelly normal and it is cause by the tank regulator taking time to recharge

it is still probably best to make sure the gun is still shooting at sufficient velocity when you are next near a crono but nothing to worry about

hope this helps

It may also depend on how much air is in your Bottle. I noticed my Mini did it more when i was low on air as it was taken longer to recharge

Doesnt affect the overall Gun

Nope, you should be fine. Just make sure your bottle is screwed all the way in, and knock the pressure up to just under 200 again. Re-chrono, and all is good :)

If you find its acting weird, just message us back, and we'll get you sorted.
