Getting very inconsistent velocities and the valve sounds different when it occurs.
This is with the refill supply air turned off.
Low velocity shot sounds like a CO2 air horn. Very loud and LONG occuring during firing. Produces a lame 145 fps. The diaphragm is occilating I assume?
The High velocity shot is a Whump-hiss with a short CO2 horn toot at the end comming from the valve. Produces 200 fps.
I suspected the diaphragm was getting stiff and cold from the CO2 and not flexing well. Warming it up and switching to my nitro bottle didn't help.
Anyone got a clue what could be causing this?
Last 4 shots were with Nitrogen.
