Marker probs

[evil_munchkin]

I've just bought my 1st marker and it's a Spyder. i set it all up, added the hopper and the 20oz Bottle, looked it all over makeing sure eveything was fitted at i was ready to rock. i pulled the bolt back and when i fored, nothing happend......well the paintball got stuck before the barrel. Do i just have to add lube or could there be something else wrong with the marker. Another thing is, i haev to pull the bolt back EVERY time i want to shoot (It's a semi) is this a safety thing or is teh marker totaly wrecked?

please help

Sounds to me like you are out of gas.
When you fire, the bolt goes forward & then bounces? (sounds like a machine gun). Get your local site to fill the bottle, then give it a go.

The bolt doesn't bounce, it goes forward once,that's it and than i have to pull it back manually.........and it's a brand new 02tank that i got with the marker

Did u order it (internet,phone) or get it direct from a shop. if u ordered it the dealer wont send it to u already filled up and it would be empty
