Is it a pirhana by chance? I was given a pirhana with the exact same problem. There was apiece on my trigger that had to be sanded off. Aside from that, i extended the bolt inside.

Just search on google.

Strip it. Clean it. Replace the o-rings.

Also, make sure that it is assembled correctly. I had this problem with a Tippmann :roll:

And, cannon monkey, cam you please try to make proper grammar? It would be much appreciated.
