OK here is my LBB.



A few mods to it, 1/2" PVC coupler 11 inch PETG barrel nested in it, pump plugged just like carrtoon did HERE, and added my own little handle, since mine broke.

I am NOT getting good range at all. I know my barrel is PETG and should switch over to brass for this gun but that isn't the problem.

The air output it WEAk on this gun. It's like a NF.

I don't know what to do.

ANy suggestions?

Buy a blast bazooka. They have a much better trigger release. The lbb's firing pin is some plastic and the twhole trigger mech is some weak ass plastic, It's hard to get a nice burst of air from it with such a shitty firing mechanism. Try squeezing the trigger more suddenly and fast. I just suggest you get a lanard blast bazooka.

Whah? He has a Blast Bazooka. Do you mean Big Blast?

As he said, the plastic trigger is pretty weak. It broke off in mine, and I had to glue it on again. You should be fine with reinforcing it somehow.

Also, isn't the Big Blast identical in terms of internals? My impression was that the trigger mech is the same. Of course, the plastic could just be stronger in it.

My bad I meant big blast. Monkey the big blast has identical internals but the firing pin is metal instead of plastic. Not sure about the whole trigger mech though. Needless to say I'd rather have a metal firing pin as opposed to a plastic one.

Well, too late, he's already got a Blast Bazooka... and if he reinforces the firing pin that should make it just as good. But he didn't ask about the firing pin. So why did you suggest a Big Blast if that's the only problem it solves?

N34, my guess is you're having a valve leak. I had that problem at first with mine. To check this, just pump the gun up as much as you can and hold your ear next to the valve, as close as you can get it. I could barely hear the air coming out, but it was coming out all the same. Another way you can check this is just to leave the gun pumped for a couple hours or a day or so, and then fire it and see if anything comes out.

If this is the problem, then here's what I ended up doing:
- Hold the trigger and blow air in the front. This gets rid of any crap plastic that could be on the valve, holding it open.
- Spray some lube (a can of Silicon Spray is about $3, I believe) into the valve while holding it open.

If that doesn't work I can't help you any further. I guess you could always try the underwater trick or putting on a new pump (hey! maybe this will be useful...).

Best of luck.

Thanks for the advice Flaming Hilt.

My trigger is fine. The plastic seems to be holding strong.

I may have a leak or somewhere have a bad seal.

I suggested the firing pin because all the LBB'S I've put my hand on release air very slowly and that's attributed to the shitty trigger mech and firing pin. If you had a more effective trigger mech/reinforced then you can get a much larger burst of air at one time thus increasing the performance.

I just got my LBB in the mail today, and you can tell when you pull the trigger that not all the air is released at once. There is a one-second bleed-out time for the air tank, which is definitely not ideal, and it would help to fix that as soon as possible. Even more surprising is that if you pump a full tank and fire it, you still have some air left the second time you pull the trigger!

So we have to come up with a good trigger mech mod for this thing.
