like i said before,, just check the bottom of the drive cone..sometimes the plastic bits can snap on the drive wheel thingy and it stops the cone from spinning around....

check your anti jam beads are still there, check all your paddles are on your drive cone, check the spring is still there next to the beads.

Also did you check there wasnt any snipped or pinched wires?

drill a hole under the back plate (turn the hopper upside down). So there is a hole in the shell that is positioned between the back plate and the board. Id do two 3mm holes. This way the holes are facing the gun and the bang from that.

But I would fix the wire first, and see if that helps before you go making holes :)

btw, its worth mentioning that when you turn on a reloader B you need to do so WHEN ITS EMPTY.

DO NOT FILL IT WITH PAINTBALLS THEN TURN ON

What you are describing is the result.

take note of what The Renton said, problems we have had in the past is filling the reloader with paint BEFORE turning it on :) or low batteries
