My son put the cocking bolt together before attaching it to the gun. We can't get it apart! Do you have any ideas or do we have to get replacement parts?

Warning 1: this is a procedure for adults, not children - you may accidentally stab your own fingers.
Warning 2: this procedure might ruin the cocking bolt completely.
You'll need a small phillips head screw driver, two small flat-blade screw drivers, dental floss and four hands.
1) One end of the cocking bolt is fixed - leave this alone.
Remove the two screws from the inside face of the rotating end cap - this allows the outer cap to be removed.
The inner cap (still on the bolt) has four teeth that protrude into a recess around the metal bolt.
Warning 3: be extremely careful during the next step as the teeth may snap off completely and fingers could get hurt.
2) Using one of you four hands, hold the bolt upright on a sturdy table (with the fixed cap down) .
Simultaneously use the two flat-blade screw drivers to carefully lever one pair of opposite teeth out of the recess.
Whilst holding the levered the teeth out, firmly push the inner cap further down the bolt (down toward the fixed
end).
3) Wrap dental floss (or similarly stout, fine cord) around and around the recess to pack it out until it is flush with the outer diameter of the metal bolt - this is to stop the teeth locking back in place.
4) Slide the inner cap up and off.
Reassemble the cap.
Remove the dental floss.
Remind your son about the importance of reading the instructions first (just as you've always done yourself ;-).

    This works and is actually quite easy, I used a vice and a rag to protect the cap end to hold the rod and was able to do this by myself. Make sure you reassemble the cap before you put it on the gun or you can never screw the cap on again. Yes, I didn't do it. So I'm using epoxy, sigh.

My Tac-5 Recon marker does not shoot the paintballs. I cock the marker and after I pull the trigger I can feel and hear the spring action but no paintballs are launched. When I attached the CO2 tank I did...

take the hammer and bolt out, clean them and oil them with paintball oil (no motor oil or WD-40)
air tool oil also works, but besides paintball and air tool oil, never use anything else.

the bolt is in the front of the marker, it is what pushes the paintball from the breach into the barrel. the hammer will be towards the back. its been years since i have touched a tac-5

easiest way to oil is just to put a few drops in the asa (where you attach the tank) and dry fire with the barrel off a dozen times. this will get the oil everywhere it needs to be.

if you can take it apart and clean it i would still recommend that

How to fix a grabber reacher?

I have a idea to help you .If apart ,you mean the rivets are missing? If this is the issue, find or ask a family member w/ a pop rivet gun.The claws that do the grabbing are stamped,labeled (L)-(R). Reassembling the Grabber w/ the rivet gun wouldn't be too difficult .I could fix your problem, if we were neighbors!

Check the O rings on the big metal striker, make sure that you have the spring on the back (where the stock would have went) in the right hole on the back plate. Make sure that your velocity is set to a reasonable level.
