Double feeding paintballs:
If your PT Xtreme is double
feeding, you’ve probably lost the ball detent. A new
one will almost certainly fix the problem. If not, your
paint is probably very small. To replace the ball detent
simply remove recoil spring cover. Then remove the
old ball detent and replace with a new one.
Double firing on one trigger pull:
This can be
caused by liquid C02 in the valve. If your double firing
problem is not caused by liquid C02, inspect your trig-
ger sear and be sure to remove any debris in the trig-
ger assembly. This will most likely solve double firing.
If double firing persists check the lower bolt o-ring.
The gun fires but no paint comes out:
Make sure
the power feed plug is turned the right direction.
Check your paint for swollen balls. This will cause the
gun to misfeed. Never pick paint up off of the ground.
It will cause more problems than you could imagine.
PT Xtreme Tips
1. Never leave your C02 tank in the sun or heat.
Co2 is a volatile gas that is greatly affected by
temperature.

Understanding the Characteristics of C02
Understanding the characteristics of C02 is a bit more
difficult than it sounds. C02 is a volatile gas, or
should I say substance compared to other gasses
used in Paintball. The fact that C02 can convert from
gas to liquid and visa versa easily is a real problem for
Paintball players and their equipment. C02 is greatly
affected by temperature changes. In fact, a properly
filled C02 tank will have an internal pressure of about
850 pounds per square inch (psi) in 70 degree (F)
temperatures. A temperature increase of one degree
will cause the pressure in your tank to rise by 11 psi.
So if you’re playing in a cool summer morning of
about 70 degrees, when the hot afternoon
temperature comes your tank pressure can rise 400+
psi with no trouble at all. This will probably cause
your gun to shoot "hot." Possibly even dangerously
high. Let’s take a closer look at why C02 is a real
problem for Paintball players.
Why your tank "chills" when you rapid fire: Have you
ever noticed that when you rapid fire your paint gun
for any length of time, your C02 tank gets cold or
even "frosted"? What happens next is a real pain --
your velocity drops off. Here’s why. When you rapid
fire your paint gun, you are using a large amount of
