: when i shoot my m98 really fast, sometimes it jams and i have to cock it back : it there anything i can do to fix it or does it need a good cleaning cuz i clean everyday i use it When you shoot really fast, the liquid CO2 in the tank will be boiling to replace the gas you use up. That will absorb heat from the tank, and the gaseous CO2 in the tank - and cooler CO2 gas provides less pressure. With less gas pressure, the gas won't blow back hard enough on the M98 hammer to push it far enough back to catch on the sear and cock for the next shot, and then the hammer just hits the valve again, and again, and again "machinegunning." There are three main solutions to this problem: 1 - play in warmer weather 2 - when rapid firing, shoot shorter bursts, and wait longer between them, to allow the gas/liquid in the tank to warm up with heat from the sun and surrounding air 3 - use compressed air as your power source instead of CO2 See you on the field, -Bill Mills
