Okay. Well it seems i screwed it in all the way, which i was supposed to, but it looked like the screw wasn't even in there, but it was. .. sorry it was hard to see and i was using the wrong allen key on it so it wouldn't grab, hence why i thought it was gone. but yeah when i was shooting it so no air was going out that screw hole, so that makes sense. Thanks for the help tho. ANother question I have though is.. If anyone knows, with a flatline barrel, what's a good velocity to set it at? Anyone found a good speed ? : well i have no idea how it fell out, thats odd, mayve you stripped out the threads when you screwed it in, (how hard did you tighten it) : a regular parts kit or matince kit for the gun would not include such a screw, you will have to order if directly from tippmann or go through your local paintball store, i go to a small place espically for paintball(lonewolf) not a dicks or dunahams- i dont think they would order it for you : it will probably cost you a few bucks, my friend purchased 3 screws he had lost and is was somethin like 5 bucks, im not sure about shipping charges : : "with no pieces left over and the velocity screw in. Wherever my screw went, I dunno but I lost it some how it just fell out" : ^do you mean it was their when you put it back togother, but later you looked and it was gone : or was it gone after you put it back togother(clarify this) : i assume by "reader" you mean a chronograph : and yes i could see it being as low as 195pfs, when gun is shot the pressure build up is what pushes the ball through and out the barrel, with a hole in the side of your gun(no screw) alot of that pressure is lost, the c02 just shoots out of the hole and is not acting on the ball. : but as long as you get a new screw ordered you should be fine(assuming you didnt strip out the threads on the vavle in the gun-if so the screw would just fall out of the gun again)
