3 years ago he made this video, and today it still is the best repairing reviews.. thank you 🙏 👍🏽👌🏽

[@benjaminkitchen7562]

love how these videos are always just roasting customers for messing up their guns

[@jb837]

This video saved me a lot of time and headache. Recently I bought an empire mini gs, its was shooting from 250fps to 190fps to even 100fps, the spring was inverted 😅. Thanks

[@caydenknoll814]

this video just saved me i bought my empire mini gs and waited 2 weeks to go out and use it i went out today and when i went to get it cronoed it was having the same issue but my problem was my spring so thank you for the information and my gun is now working

[@The12footdong]

@ANSgearPaintball large number of issues are due to the ball valve ninja reg's...it presses up against the brass piece inside the ASA and does not let enough volume of air transfer from tank to gun...#1 cause of shoot down with any marker using this ASA....i countersunk mine and have had zero issues since

[@GRat9717]

Damn you guys are making easy money with these customer guns, haha.

[@cash3668]

Thank you so much. This helped me I accidentally changed this instead of the firing mode!

[@matthewnorton9466]

My solenoid does that too every time I turn it on at first but it worked perfectly when I put air through it

[@traearmel2827]

Love these videos

[@emmanuelperez2214]

Love these videos please keep making them

[@normang3668]

Did Rory lick the battery to test it?

[@Kawid.]

How do you customize these guns?!?!?! It's crazy cool

[@elicalvo3446]

How much is it to send in my mini gs. Drops all the balls after the first 3 bursts.

[@mychannel-fm7gd]

I want my remove my gauge from my asa and plug it off. Could it be done without harming anything. Not worried about the pressure cause I don’t bother my asa screw

[@JJDbhangra96]

Great video thank you

[@sergiobravo8561]

Thank you

[@LegendaryJoe777]

Minute 6:03 on your right hand what is that piece called on mine it gets stuck when cycling the gun

[@nicholassandoval8332]

Can you guys do an empire axe please

[@WhyDidYoutubeDoThis]

It's always people changing the dwell. To be fair, his spring was on the wrong way. But a factory reset would have fixed his gun.

[@scifisoldier]

Why does empire keep all those settings open when they just shouldn't be changed? And when are they going to change their logo to the galactic empire?

[@victorvillasenor4336]

I have a mini gs and when i screw tank in and gas it up there are no leaks but when i turn on the gun it shoots the first ball out with little to no velocity but any ball after that it it shoots beams? What could it be?

[@marcc5556]

That’s a case of first shot drop off. It’s normal for that to happen to any paintball gun. Some guns have a setting that holds open the solenoid for a little longer on the first shot to combat first shot drop off, but I don’t know if the mini has that option. Other than the setting, making sure you have a fresh set of lube on the bolt before your day on the field will help. Replacing the o rings might also help, but that is a bit extreme considering you don’t even have a leak.

[@Slowyata]

Sounds like first shot drop off like Marc describes. Not sure if mini gs has first shot drop off compensation but easiest solution if it doesnt is before the game starts take a clearing shot into the ground so you know the next shot will be normal velocity.

[@diegopizzini2273]

Anyone have this same issues I got two buddies with this same gun and when one of them cleans the gun it’s fine but my other friend for some reason his bolt won’t lock in place so he can put the screw in he has to hold it down so he can screw it in. We have tried the spring both ways so I know it’s not back wards

[@joneskimracing2932]

Loving the bench videos. But someone get him a new mat.

[@vartanmovsesian5222]

Hello, I bought one from the showroom a few weeks ago. When I shoot full auto I have to take 3 shots before full auto engages. Why is that???

[@Higgins7414]

Full auto activates after a set number of trigger pulls have been done just like ramping in the other fire settings

[@RichardgoreIII]

Any other options tried all this and same problem..

[@JRM1790]

Same here. Any luck?

[@g2k346]

What do I do if I have my regulator set to 200 psi but after a few shots it drops down to like 100 psi?

[@coledola9469]

is his magnet on the trigger hitting first or the stopper

[@shortyboy2562]

I think I have a good gun with similar issues on a dangerous power G4.

[@dabzpaintball4478]

I would like to know more information on my M2 mos air since you guys work on every other older gun and your customer service when I call can not help!

[@CJm-hz9tx]

My empire mini gs is not taking paintballs. It I’ve tried switching every seal in the gun along with the bolt and spring. Any suggestions? Please and thank you.

[@ANSgearPaintball]

Feel free to give us a call @ [phone] & we would be glad to help out with all of your questions.

[@yes_itz_loading.3900]

Hey I think you might not make a video of this marker because its kinda old but could you make a video about the 08 proto slg

[@Sivi0302]

Lol i am so old i actualy remember proto 8. My nephew had one when we were starting to play. We switched quickly to Ego 6 and 8 but proto was realy a nice marker.

[@Dmorris556]

RTFM. So Many times at the field. Dead Battery or setting way out of place.

[@iHasCaek]

i've "fixed" a couple of these by going back to factory settings. easiest tech fees ever.

[@JDRhoads09]

I am a complete moron. I just wanted to test a full auto trigger; and my refillable tanks were empty. I happened to have a disposable (for whatever reason) laying around and I used it for maybe 40 shots real quick. I immediately realized after it was co2... Do I need to check for damage? What are the things to look for?

[@yourpbtv]

i would check the solenoid since are goes through there and turn the ayes off and see if the solenoid clicks (without compressed air) if it does use a high pressre air tank and test the gun hope that helps

[@jtcraig09]

Am I hearing something from Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the background?

[@Clantonik]

WHY there are so many Axe type Markers moste broken guns i see are Dye rize guns and T15

[@johnmartinez8041]

Because these guns are what most beginners get and they don’t know how to take care of it

[@bluebeard6189]

Licking the 9-volt battery, oh yeah that's how you teck

[@fatpandaproductions9833]

I hate when there's always the new guys at the feild saying they saw a forum about changing dwell etc just leave the dam thing alone . If it ain't broke don't fix it

[@georgiosheppard9393]

Probably tried to put it on ramp and mistaken the red for orange

[@Jericho27]

The moment i saw how it was failing to cycle, i knew it was a dwell issue.

[@joneskimracing2932]

When adjusting dwell leads to these problem, why allow adjustments to dwell???!!

[@foughtwolf]

Because someone who knows what they're doing can use dwell adjustments to make for a smoother shot, or a more efficient shot.

[@bpaultre]

Would it be a safe bet to do the factory reset when you start troubleshooting in case someone has adjusted more than the dwell?

[@springbranch1997]

My mini gs light wont turn off and my dad wet it is it normal?

[@letssessionhawaii4027]

Mines does the same with no battery

[@linkabros8502]

Bro new players trying to turn their gun to full auto or ramp and accidentally mess with the dwell. Just don’t touch your dwell

[@devingarcia7698]

Can this cause the gun to break paint

[@devingarcia7698]

I know it’s a 2 year post hopefully you see this but my gun is just breaking paint I don’t use this market no more but I want friends to use it

[@Y0uDaRealMVP]

I got an empire mini so let’s see this lol

[@theelrussiano2584]

My invert mini’s hammer won’t go all the way in place therefore no paintballs are going into my gun and it’s at low velocity

[@iamnani_9111]

It’s always the dwell like newer players stop messing with your dwell

[@scifisoldier]

Did you lick the battery to test it? 😛🔋🪫
