Seeing as a lot of people have been encountering similar problems recently I decided to write a thread to address these minor, quick-fix problems. Though it may eliminate a large chunk of threads in this forum (lol, it might just happen
), it’s always good to have something to check if something goes awry and no one is around to answer.
Remember that checking o-rings is a given and I’m not going to state every time that you should check them.

Issue 1) Help! My NME is chopping like a blender!
Solutions:
1) Check your eyes. Make sure they are clean, check the breach for obstructions, and paint as well.
2) Back out bolt by using set screw in the back of your ram cap. Back out the bolt until you can drop a ball into the breach and it falls unobstructed but DOES NOT ROLL OUT OF VIEW OF THE EYES. Also, be sure to check with multiple balls because not all paintballs are identical.
3) Raise your BIP delay setting. This setting changes the amount of time the bolt is in the “back” position before checking for another ball in the breach. The factory setting is 10ms. My setting is 5ms.
4)Check your detents. Damaged and old detents cause rollouts, doublefeeds, and chops. If your detents aren’t cutting it use the ones make by PBK. These can be found at paintballkingdom.com.
5) Check for pinched/damaged eye wires in the grip frame and eye covers.
6) Check your eye mode. The NME tends to chop in eye mode 1 for some reason. Be sure its eyes are not off and its not in simulate mode either. Change to eye mode 2.
Issue 2) I am getting massive drop off after only a couple of shots!
Solutions:
1) Check your HPR and LPR settings. Every NME is different but the screw in the bottom of the HPR should NEVER be past flush. If it is screwed in too deep you can damage the pin inside the reg. Most people have one or two threads showing on the screw for 280fps. The LPR should NEVER go far past 90psi or you run the risk of damaging your solenoid. The normal setting for the LPR is about 80 for most people but some people have been able to bring it down to about 50-60. Be sure to set your LPR when your tank has more than 800psi or the pressure in the LPR may jump unnoticed.
2) Check your dwell. Normally I say never mess with your dwell because a bad setting can either cause drop off or bad efficiency. I’d check it and bring it back to 7.0ms.
3) Check your tank/ASA. This is only for if you have the stock ASA (I’m saying this because a lot of people change them out). The stock ASA is kind of weird in that if you screw in both the tank and the knob on the ASA all the way it will restrict air flow and cause drop off. To remedy this all you have to do is screw in the tank all the way and then UNSCREW it about a ¼ turn. Then start to screw in the ASA knob until you feel the gun pressurize, then continue to screw it in about two more turns then stop.
Issue 3) My gauge reads zero and there is no air going to the bolt!
Solutions:
1) Check for pinched hoses in grip frame. Reroute if necessary.
2) Check HPR assembly and o-rings (to be sure that air is coming out of the HPR, just unscrew the HPR from the body but leave it intact and connected to the macroline. Then screw in your tank and on/off and check for airflow)
3) Check LPR assembly and o-rings. The most common time that this issue happens is after someone lubes their LPR and unknowingly putting something in backwards. The most common piece is the metal piece that fits behind the spring in the nose of the LPR behind the adjustment knob. Just take it out and put it in the right way. If it is in backwards, it won’t depress the pin in the LPR and allow air flow.
4) Check for clogged hoses. Maybe you over lubed your regs and the lube got stuck in a hose. Just clean them out with a very thin pin or replace. (not a very common problem though)
Issue 4) My bolt has pressure and the gun is on but nothing happens when I pull the trigger!
Solutions:
1) Check your batteries, it may not have enough juice to power the solenoid.
2) Your Solenoid may be fried. Not quite sure how to check that but its a possibility.
3) Is marker firing in simulation mode?
A. If Yes check detents / Bolt Position, make sure the ball has about a 1 millimeter gap between
the bolt and detents.
B. If No,
1b) Check your batteries, it may not have enough juice to power the solenoid.
2b) Your Solenoid may be fried. Listen for click with no air applied in simulation fire mode. No click
= toasted noid.
Issue 5) My gun is leaking down the barrel!
Solutions:
1)Check and lube poppet o-ring.
sorry i don't have pics, i don't have a digital camera
Feel free to add ideas, issues and solutions and i'll edit them in and give you credit.
Thanks to Rymx (Issue 4, Solution 3)
