Hi Condorsniper 😀
Sounds like your spring and hammer are too strong/heavy for the micro tank.
Reduce preload on the spring(power selector down)
Or get a stronger spring in the valve return.
I’m sure if this is wrong the boys will let you know what else to try… 😀

Well I hope the first response is the right area for yours to be fixed dude… I have a Micro valve as well and mine did this and all that was wrong with mine was the valve jam nut that holds the valve assembly together was never tightened.
I had to remove the valve from the tank and just take a 1/2″ open end wrench take the brass jam nut out and recenter the spring on the valve head and then make sure the thin nylon washer was there and not going to get mashed up all wrong as I screwed the jam nut back down by hand. Then once it was all flush to the valve body take the wrench and snug down really good. Doesn’t have to be smashed up with alot of torque, but does need to be tight so as its shot it want back off as mine did.
Yours was probably never snugged up to begin with much less tightened… Hopefully you want have such a problem getting the valve out of the tank to check this… Let us know what you find out dude PLZ…
