Double feeding paintballs:

If your Rebel 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.

Rebel 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
