Make sure you have a good paint/bore match. alot of the time people think its the gun, but its just to small of paint for the barrel. try it.

Might sound silly,
But does yor Angel Batt have a good charge in it, my batt went low during a tourney and i tried everything to no avail, charged the batt up and VOILA! consistent velocty again, the speed oe the solinoid or whatever must affect velocity , no?
standing ready to be corrected lmao!

I don't see how battery would have anything to do with velocity, they're completely NOT related (unless there's so little battery that it's not powering the solenoid, which would only happen if you went to a tournament with less than 1 bar on the battery indicator, in which case you deserve everything you get and more). My Rock IR3 was having the same problems, I sent it to Warped and it turned out to be a blown LPR, you might want to have that checked. Oh, also, your LPR should be 90-95, 110 is WAAYYY to high.

i'm having the same problem, how do you blow an lpr actually since i have never touched mine, i'm gonna check my lpr this sunday, wierd this is last sunday i adjusted the snap ring the day before so i tested it on sunday morning and was shooting around 290 or so but a few hours later i chrono'd it again and it barely reached 200, could it be that i just didnt loctite it right, i re-adjusted my snap ring today i'll see this sunday if it works

I went to Warped LA with my iR3 (non-dark), and my lpr was replaced for free, counting it under warranty. They only hit me with labor. Mine wasn't blown, but creeping. Still, a bad lpr is a bad lpr.

One way to tell if your LPR is bad is with the tool kit. Install the pressure gauge and air up your gun. If the pressure creeps then your LPR is shot.

did you check your input pressure? if thats too low your velocity will only be so high. it should be around 600-800 (try 800) hope that helps

i have an adrenalin and i am having the same problem. Everyone is telling me i should send it off and have it tuned up. Where should i send it? i bought it used so i dont have the adrenalin warranty. I live around STL and dont want to spend a fortune.

i live in the caribean so to send it off would cost me a bunch, oh and yeah i tried an input of up to 750 and it was still low, i'm gonna check my lpr this week see what happens, does mo's paintball do warranty work? like if i brought it to him would he do it for free if it were under warranty?
