FAQ’s
Before attempting any
repairs or upgrades on your marker be sure that you have removed the tank, “dry
fire” the marker to ensure it is degassed then remove the battery.
My
Complaint
Chopping or cutting paint has been noted by many
other Odyssey
Cause
One ball
detent works well and is enough to do the job, the 2nd ball detent
tends to tear or cut the ball as it is being pushed forward into the barrel by
the bolt.
What is up with the barrel? The bore of the marker
exceeds the size of most barrels and therefore the barrel cuts the paint as the
ball is being loaded into the barrel by the bolt. This condition can also be called barrel
alignment as “the barrel doesn’t line up with the bore”.
Here is a picture of the barrel alignment issue, as
you can see there is an edge all the way round the barrel and the ball simply
gets cut by that edge of the barrel.
Correction
The ball detent is located under the eye cover. Remove one eye cover and push the detent out
by sticking your finger in the feed neck and pushing the detent out of
position. Reinstall eye cover once the
detent is removed. Save the detent, just in case you need to replace the other.
Below is a picture looking through the bore of a
marker with only one detent installed.
Correction
To repair barrel condition simply get a barrel with a
taper at the breach end or add a taper to your existing barrel by a lathe,
file, a combination of heavy then lighter sand papers or dremel (although the
lathe method is preferred). Below is a picture of two barrels; the one on the
left is a WGP Stainless steel back the one on the right is a Demon barrel.
Notice the differences between the left non tapered barrel and the right tapered barrel, its
pretty easy to see how a ball could chop on such a flat edge.
Here is a picture of the cone shaped grinding tool
that I prefer to use in a lathe to cut a taper in my existing barrel. The stone is only a few dollars and is well
worth the price if you have a barrel you know is accurate, but it doesn’t have
the taper needed to work on you
Here is a picture of a J&J stainless steel back
that I used the above grinding stone on to cut a taper so it would properly
feed the balls into my New Style
My
Complaint
Every time I turn the marker on it just shuts off.
Cause
A likely reason is the battery is weak, cheap or
both.

My
Complaint
My
Cause
Your bolt is upside down.
Correction
Make sure you install the bolt with the air passage hole going down so the ball will get the air needed to
propel the paintballs.
My
Complaint
If I fire just one shot it shoots normal. The more I
shoot the more shoot down I have.
Cause
A weak battery
is the most common cause for shoot down, it simply doesn’t have the power to
operate the marker as it was designed.
Correction
Install a new name brand battery, cheap batteries
just don’t do the job so be sure to get name brand.
My
Complaint
It just doesn’t shoot fast with a slow hopper,
Cause
First of its not supposed to that’s what the eyes are
for is to prevent chops, but this situation can be made worse by the eye’s
update logic on the board, this has been an issue on other Fasor markers.
Correction
Buy a hopper capable of feeding at least 15-16 balls
per second. The faster the hopper the
better, I prefer 17 balls per second or faster.
I hear a hissing noise
coming out of the barrel…
Complaint
I have an air leak and it sound like it is coming out
of the barrel.
Cause
It could be the cup seal, but you better check the
0-rings on the valve.
Correction
I fought this one myself thinking it was a cup seal,
after taking the marker apart a few times having not found a problem. Tom a
friend of mine spoke up and mentioned the 0-rings are easily tore during
assembly, but they may actually look good. So, take the marker apart (see the
exploded view) and check the cup seal and 0-rings on the valve. If it all looks
good (no torn 0-rings or nicks in the cup seal). Then replace the 0-rings on the valve. Be sure to lube them up before installation
because the can be easily tore during installation.
I
hear a hissing noise coming out of the grip area…
Complaint
Air leak from grip area
Cause
Low pressure hose came off of the fitting or the low
pressure hose is cracked.
Correction
Remove the trigger frame to locate the source of the
leak, replace the effected low pressure hose.

Use Diablo Wrath parts. Many parts and upgrades can
be interchanged between the two markers.
