Default Jamaican Rhythm Tank Firing

Hi,

I recently received my Heng Long Tiger I 1/16 tank, although after a short period of firing at random things, I encountered a problem - Many, many misfires (turret appears to release air pressure, but no BB comes out), and every 2 or 3 misfires, it 'pop's a few times before the main blast (much like some sort of Jamaican rhythm), which often sends 2-3 BBs out at the same time. And my question is - Why is it doing this, and how can I fix it?

Thanks!

Hi timblesink,

Welcome to the world of HL tanking......fixing problems with these models is part of the fun........your problem is not uncommon and I had the same thing with my pantiger.....are you using the BB's that came with the tank?.........These a have a mould seam on them which gets stuck in the breach......better to use the better quality BB's from Mato that are smoother and are less prone to cause this problem..............


Cheers
