Balls fall out of my tippman 98 custom when i put them in. what do i need to do to fix it?

it could be a combination of a number of things.. most likely it has to do with the type of paint you're shooting; in regards to shell.. tippman guns are harder on paint therefore require a harder shell paint, also not all paintballs are exactly .68 caliber, meaning some a bigger and some are smaller.. could be that they're slightly to big for the bore of you barrell

this is gonna kinda sound dumb. but did you remember to pull the cocking handle back after you put on your tank? and is your tank screwed on tight?

Sound like your ball detent is gone or broken.

The detent is a tiny piece of rubber that keeps the paintballs in the chamber and from rolling out the barrel. It's a cheap part, but you will need basic knowledge of disassembling a Tippmann 98 to replace it.

You can find ball detents here!

Try tightening the hose, if that doesn't work degas the marker and take that fitting off and add 1 or 2 layers of Teflon tape and then reattach the fitting. Make sure to not cross-thread the fitting.

In order to use you gun you will need 3 basic things. First, you need to have your hopper with paintballs in it, second you will need a CO2 bottle to propel the paintballs, and finally **** the gun on the side have the gun in the ready position. There are some security measures to be followed like having a paintball mask for facial protection and to handle it as loaded weapon at all times since it can harm a person if not handled carefully.

Go to ebay and buy a new ball detent for the 98 they are cheap and well worth it because how many times have you got shot for double balling :)

Get another ball detente from ebay, this one is the cheapest one I could find.

Your "ball detent" has worn out. This is a little rubber nipple inside the breech of your gun (where the balls go into the gun from your hopper) that has torn. This is a normal wear and tear item and will cost you only a few dollars to repair. You have to buy this part from your local paintball pro shop they will have it.

Please see below page 8 for picture of what I am talking about.

On page 8 in the middle left side is a picture of the internal vale parts.

When you pull the valve out on the back side is a little o ring that can be taken out using an o ring pick. Make sure to watch the way the parts come out and look for any rust, also broken o rings if the valve is stuck open this will allow the maximum of air to pass. Most of time is this part that is messed up. You can by the valve in one unit this is the best option.

But the first thing is to check the valve and all the parts. Lube it up and re install it.
