hi all, got a proto slg ul with a extreme rage sound activated hopper.


i shall describe my problem....

when im walking the trigger i can get about 6 balls out and then the gun stops working and i get a wooosh (purge) of air, and then after a little shake, is fine again.
the barrel is clean, the chamber where the balls drop into is fine, and the eyes are clean and working.

whats going on?

at the moment i get about 500 balls to every 3000psi tank of air, which isnt great!!!

firstly change the battery to a fresh good quality one

next change all the board setting's back to factory default

then take the bolt out and check it and all the o ring's for damage or exessive wear

also how much air pressure was in your tank at the time? but hopefully those will sort it

hope this helps

had about 1500-2000 psi left in the tank.

batteries in the gun and hopper were brand new yesterday.

i shall check the other bits and bobs over.

if the batteries are good quality (duracell etc.) then that shouldn't cause a problem however slg's are heavy on batteries due to the sear trip style solenoid so it might need changing if you have been dry firing or clicking the trigger with the board on

another thing to check is that the air bottle is screwed in all the way, it might also be an idea to strip the reg down and clean/re lube it, this vid should help:

bolt is fine, o rings fine and its nicely oiled (not excessively)
