Piranha GTI E-Force help!

[xxxtwiggyxxx]

Hello,
Recently purchased my first marker (Piranha GTI E-Force) and i am finding it incredibly inaccurate, the paint explodes in the barrel and i am sure the CO2 adjuster is broke in the back of the gun! Is this a lost cause (cost me £70) or do you think its repairable? I have a 20oz co2 canister with no regulator with a cheap 14" barrel coming through to try and correct the accuracy problem. As you can probably tell i don't want to spend £100's, i just want a advantage over my friends on days out . The burst mode and Full auto modes also dont work. Thanks for your time and help! Wayne

when and were did you buy it? could you send it back?

What paint are you useing, where has it been kept and how old is it?

The full auto and burst modes maybe disabled as full auto and 3 shot burst are not allowed in the UK so some manufacturers remove them from the marker but no the instruction booklet.

if you can, and you dont want to spend 100s of pounds, send it back get money back - and go for somthing like a smart parts vibe, i know fat bobs sell them - now before people jump on my head for recomending a smart parts vibe, quite simply its very cheap and will work on both co2 and air, and youll shoot about 15bps with it .

i know this is no help on how to fix your marker, but an alternative solution all the same

this sounds like your shooting hot and if your velocity adjustment screw is goosed then that can cause both problems you describe. Have you changed the spring? If so put the stock one back in and chronograph your gun. If all else fails kee action have internals for your gun and they are cheap as chips.

right then the adjuster under the cocking rod on the rear of the marker is spring / velocity adjuster not the amount of co2 going into your marker .So if you have this wound right in your probably shooting way over 300fps limit.That's probably why your smashing balls .But also is it the standard barrel as i recently started smashing paint in my barrel and the bore was too small for the paint.Changed barrels and problem gone.Try a ball down the barrel on its own it should come out (if perfect size) when blown not to hard .If you have to push it out with barrel cleaner barrels too small for paint or paint to large for barrel.If you need any more help pm me as i used to have the sts e-force and still use an evo .Have the manuals on file some where

Thanks!

I have orderd a new V. screw adjuster from kee action, and a new barrel. hopfully will sort it out, i have also found the tournament switch from the online manual. Its amazing how easy these problems are to fix when you know where to look! Thanks again.
