Marauder
Technical Help Guide
1) One of the most commonly asked questions here
is how to add a foregrip, regulator, or expansion chamber. Here
are a few links to some adaptors and complete kits! Bear in
mind that you'll have to either tap the ASA output, or hack
the stock ASA off and attach a standard bottomline. See the
MOB mods section for more info. Let me know if any links are
no longer working.
Dropzone
Paintball There should be a few options here
Also, the ASA from a Talon CA kit will work. If you have any
permanent links (no ebay auctions) for these things, let me
know. If you use an ASA with a vent hole, you may have toseal
it with a little JB Weld.
2) Another often asked question is what kind of barrels the
Marauder uses. Any Spyder threaded barrel will work. There are
as many opinions on which barrel is best as there are barrels,
so I'll leave that decision to you. As many people as I have
heard complain about the stock barrel, I've heard praise it
highly, so I assume it's a manufacturing inconsistency issue.
If you look at the cutaway pic in the pics section, you'll see
that the bolt doesn't place the ball into the barrel anyway,
so take that into consideration when choosing a barrel and paint.
3)A big question I get is about chopping. There are so many
possible causes for ANY marker that I can't give accurate answers
without seeing the gun. Here are some general things to look
for, however.
- If you are using the silver spacer behind the hammer spring,
take it out.
- It's just there for when your spring gets too weak to
get your velocity up to the safe 280-300 fps limit. Too
much spring tension will keep the gun from fully recocking.
- Make sure everything is clean and there are no burrs on
the bolt, barrel or inside the body, feedneck or hopper.
- Make sure you have enough CO2/HPA pressure to recock the
marker completely.
If the paint is breaking inside your barrel or
up in the hopper or neck, it's the paint. Don't blame the marker
(unless there are burrs inside the places in question, but you've
already fixed that since I already told you to, right?) Some
paint is fragile for tourney play, some paint has been affected
by environmental conditions, and some paint just sucks.
Troubleshooting:
- Leak Out the Barrel
- Worn Cup Seal. Replace
- Broken Valve ORing. Repalce
- Low Air. Fill Tank
- Fails to Recock
- Low Air. Fill Tank
- Lack of Oil. Disassemble and Oil.
- Broken Hammer Oring. Replace
- Worn sear or hammer spring. Replace
- Worn sear or hammer. Replace
