Cocking question
I noticed in the instructional video that came with the Condor that it states that when, after cocking the gun and returning it to the loaded position making contact with the air tank, that it makes a clicking noise to let you know it is ready to shoot.
I noticed mine does not make any sound and it shoots just fine. Is this something that has changed since the video was produced?

As the Breech is pulled to the rear the front of the Top Hat comes in contact with the rear O-ring in the Breech. This should present a little resistance and when it is overcome the Breech would move more quickly and hit on the wide surface of the Top Hat and make the click noise referred to.
If you are gently moving the Breech fully onto the Top Hat, you may not be moving it fast enough to hear the click.
By trying to shoot to rapidly I have at times not fully engage the Breech all the way onto the Top Hat and I have had some dud slow speed shots as a result.
The clicking sound is the oring sliding over the top hat.
My always has a click as it is seated all the way back on the top hat
Thanks for the info.
Being an engineer makes you anal and you want to know how everything is supposed to and does work 😀
The breech must contact the TH before a shot. Not sure where the click comes from. These guns are smiple. Don’t over think it and you’ll have a blast.

I have a Condor and a modded Talon (Stubby) and you can only feel the oring engage on the Talon yet there is no leak on the Condor. Of the dozen or so Airforce guns I have tried maybe on half the engagement was so light it was difficult to feel.
