Our team went out to a turnament today and I took both of my A1's After setting both markers up I went to the cronograph to set the velocity and one of them wouldn't shoot with or without the eyes. It had air, tried a new battery, also tried outher tank. Once I got home i took it out aired it up and it shot. Anyone have a idea of whats going on?

Never heard of that problem. Not to sound like an ass, but are you sure the tank and hopper were turned on?

I know it shouldn't matter since you said you tried it without the eyes, but did the gun detect a ball on the OLED screen?

My trigger got stuck on the side of the optoswitch once,
giving somewhat same effect.. it was activated.

Was it cold out? I was playing in 30 - 40 degree weather and my gun froze up. An angel tech said maybe the lube inside the gun froze up. WHen I got home the gun (now being warm) was fine. I took it apart and put angel grease inside so hopefully it wont happen again.

What was in the gun before you put Angel greas in it?

i had the exact same problem with my a1, went to chrono, got a few shots off then it would stop, with only a very slight puff of air coming out when i pressed the trigger. anyway, went back to it a few hours later, and it decided to work fine. took it to a pro-shop, they said it was a dodgy solenoid, just switched it out and now its working great. maybe the same issue?

Anybody know of any other issues with the soleniod? IHow about solendiods in cold weather?
