I need help but don't know exactly where to post this. Mod, move if you think this is in the wrong place.
The killjoy trigger on my 8.1 inside my mp7 has always been a problem. I pretended it was not. Tried to nurse it; but, in an actual game I need it to be dependable and it is not.
Here's how I know. VoodooAddict has an 8.1 too that has the killjoy trigger upgrade as well. I had mentioned in an earlier post today that I might to go Paintball Explosion today, it is a free day. I was getting my gear together (both my cars are dead!) so Voodoo volunteered to drive. I knew Voodoo would not pass up a free day!
I'm a nut case for testing my gear before I go on a mission. When I checked my mp7, (the silent knight) with Tiberius 8.1 internals, I discovered it was not firing properly again. Compressed air is fine (even switched to a different bottle, same reg/same pressure), both acted the same. So voodooaddict decided to check his 8.1. Same problem and he's still running 12 grams (but, I also have one of those old remote adapters that goes in the mag so we tried with compressed as well). We then tried them on our T9.1s, the original ones that we upgraded and they still work fine. Boy, voodoo was not a happy camper he was going to travel light today and run his 8.1.
I told him I had to go post this to the forum to see if other people have noticed this. I think there is a problem with the 8.1s and the killjoy triggers.
He just yelled over to me; cause I suggested we switch his 8.1 back to the old trigger. HugeInJapan has been great, he had sent me some spare trigger springs and pins (cause once they go in, they aren't coming out!) Anyway, voodoo is like a jack rabbit, he already has his 8.1 switched back to the old trigger and it is working just fine. He is switching mine now.
That was all background for this question, has anyone else noticed a problem with killjoy triggers on 8.1s?
I'll let you guys know as soon as my mp7 is switched back... I thought I was finished typing and about to post this when I heard pops coming from the other room, more firing from an 8.1, I think he has already gotten into the mp7 and switched back to the old trigger, my marker as well. I'm not claiming to be that great, but, I can actually hear the difference and it sounds really good again!
My mp7 is finally working again (consistently) like it used to. The killjoy trigger has been removed (I save my old parts - like the old trigger). If it was just my mp7 I would not be so confident; but, since I just saw it happen on VoodooAddict's T8.1 as well; I'm convinced there is a problem with killjoy triggers and T8.1s. We did compare old to new triggers. There is a slight difference in were the pin is located. This could be it, a tolerance the problem.
