3 shoots problem

[andrekadow]

Hi!!

I just bought a Angel 1 yesterday, but I'm having a problem with the marker... It fires 3 shoots, them stop for 1 second fires again, stop, fires, stop... With I'm shooting not so fast everything seens to be ok, but when I need to shoot really fast it stops...

Could somebody help me?? The serial marker is 00955


Thanks

What software version are you running?

[andrekadow]

1.8

Is the loader OK? Sounds like maybe a battery issue on either the loader or the A1 itself? Have you tried to change batteries? What loader are you using?

Also, what are the oversettings you are using? This is what has been recommended by the WDP MT's:

I´m using a Halo with Rip Drive... The halo´s battery is brand new... the A1s battery is the original... I´m gonna change it to check it out. About the settings...
I´m already using this settings that you send...

Thanks

Turn the eyes off and try it with out paint and see if you still have the 3 shot problem. This will help narrow it down a bit.

[andrekadow]

With the eyes turned off, everything is OK...

[Bleda]

Whats your loader speed set at? Try raising it and see if it helps.

I wanna keep an eye on this thread :)

Keep the suggestions coming guys

[andreb]

What about using the second set of settings Ken suggested...?

mrof eyes on 20
dwell 7
trigger filter 50%
loader speed 12

[andrekadow]

I'm gonna use this settings sunday... Lets see what happens

With a Halo B raise your loader speed to 14

You guys brasilians!?! Me too! Where from? I'm from Sao Paulo, but live in Miami.... I've been hearing the Empire Reloaders don't work too well with the
A1, supposedly the gun's too quiet for sound activated loaders... is this true?

[AL21784]

yeah my re-loader b didnt work all that well with my a1 so L.I.P.S (http://www.lpspaintball.biz/cart.html) told me to use a halo b instead and it works a treat

[andrekadow]

Still the same problem... gee... this sucks

What is your dwell set at?

[bigwilly01]

I recently encountered a problem with my A1 that was simmilar. It was actually shutting off and comming back on on its own when I was shooting fast. I found that the battery was bad even though it was brand new. Replace the battery and it was fine.

[andrekadow]

dwell = 7

[andrekadow]

I really think the problem is the eyes...

[Brad7]

As you stated earlier that it shoots ok with the eyes off, that would lead one to believe that the eyes are in fact the problem. How long ago did you purchase it?

[andrekadow]

7 days... Today I played all the morning with 3 others teams. There was 4 Angel One on the field, 3 showed the same problem... Now, I have a tournament on Sunday and I marker that I can't trust on my hands...

ok lets start here. what version of software are you on and have you had the new style eye covers installed?

[andrekadow]

1.8... About the eyes, I don't know... My Angel is brand new... 7 days only. The serial is 0955, could you track and see?

Good afternoon, Adrekadow.

Is this the Angel One that was with us? I thought the problem had stopped with another hopper! What's going on now? The same problem with the same hopper or with another one?
And u posted that there were four other Angel Ones with the same problems, but I really don't remember that. We had three Angel Ones playing that day. Mine is working fine. The other one is also working fine (now they're working fine after replacing the batteries from the markers, wich we did with yours on saturday).
Well, try doing the download again, like Ken toldyou and let me know, ok?

[andreb]

The 3 shot problem with this particular gun has been solved. I'll be performing further tests this weekend but from what I can see everything is fine.

I was able to fire through 2 full hoppers without a glitch both in semi-auto and full auto-mode
