If you are comfortable with taking your gun apart, then I would check the o-rings, especially the striker o-ring. I wouldn't worry about the lp chamber right now, i think there is a disk in there that moves when you gas it up. If any of the o-rings are broken, replace them, then get back with us to see if it fixed it

First of all let's make sure you have Co2 left in your bottle. Try it on a paintball marker/gun you KNOW WORKS. Once you know you have enough Co2, start checking other stuff. Do you have a line going to your Co2 bottle, or does your bottle screw directly in the bottom of the marker? If it is screwed in the bottom of the the marker and it still doesn't work, the problem is internal. If it works with the Co2 bottle screwed in the bottom of the marker, but doesn't work through the line, then change it and see if it works.

I'm not sure about my Piranhas, you said at the bottom of the lp chamber is where your line goes in, right? Can you unscrew that piece(the little adapter that the line goes into, not the lp chamber)? When you unscrew it, screw the bottle directly into the bottom- see if it works that way.

If it was a Spyder, it would screw into piece 8A on this diagram: http://www.kingmanusa.com/section/support/diagram/spyder_compact_p.html

I have heard it a million times, you are out of co2. Take the canister to where you get co2 and have em check it. They probably just didnt fill it right or something. Do that before you do anything else.

that was the first thing i checked,it works on my m8s impulse so i def got CO2.
