Hello all, just baught a brand new empire axe, my first brand new marker. Turn the gun on with eyes off an the light registers a trigger pull but it doesnt fire, same when no air attached theres no solonoid click, once pulled about 10 times it works ( and i know its not good to spank the solonoid, so thats not y..)
Il be taking it to the local site saturday but just curious if its a 'breaking' the marker in situation? And if its happened to anyone else.
Thanks

No its not a breaking the marker in situation. It should shoot great out of the box. Call up who you bought it from, and get them to look at it. Its probably something really simple.

btw, have you adjusted the trigger at all? (im not saying go adjust the trigger, Im asking if you have adjusted it as many people do)

I have also heard that the Minis used to suffer from a sticky solenoid,

Ive come across maybe 4 since 2008.

Seems to me like your missing the activation point on the trigger.

Try letting the screw back out a turn or so.


Wingy...

Cant be becuase the micro switch is clicking about half way through trigger pull..

It seems to have fixed itself! This is a miracle gun... Wel see if its still being a good girl in the morning after its had a good nights kip

Good to here its working now.

We recently got brand new Axe's due to sponsorship, all were taken from the box and used, NO-ONE in the team has tinkered with them at all and ALL are working perfectly fine. Empire know their stuff so dont tinker with it unless you need to !!!!!! It works fine as it is.

Ive seen it too many times, and have done it myself. First thing anyone does is mess around with the trigger I would be preferable to just try the gun before making any adjustments.

I get what you mean, but surely they wouldnt have made it adjustable if thas the case.. And like i said i only unscrewed the magnet screw a little, didnt adjust it back to factory but it seems fine at the moment. When i turned it on this morning it took about 3 pulls after shooting it last nite (which is better than 30) and was fine. So hopefully tomoro when i turn it on itl be fine as i put a box through it today
