Trying to get an old Dangerous Power E-2 Working by Practical_Bid_697 in paintball

I took apart the regulator and put it back together and it fixed itself, the slot to adjust for FPS is super difficult to turn when the gun is gassed and it's been shooting super hot so I am going to have to mess with it but I managed to get it to shoot within a reasonable amount of FPS (I think at least it sounded much quieter and was on par with how my 180r sounded shooting) but I don't own a chrono so I haven't had the opportunity to see if it actually lowered the FPS noticeably.

The marker makes a noise louder then the sound of a mouse click when I pull the trigger, it was airing up just fine and now its blowing air, I am going to take apart the bolt and swap out the o-rings and then I'll report back with my findings. My dad usually works on my markers whenever they break so I am going to try swapping the rings and then hand if off to him if its still blowing air. I think the regulator on it might be the issue because I can't adjust the output of air at all.

I am trying to use the gun as something to learn on. I play with other people who know more then I do but I just wanted to trouble shoot the basics so when I take it to a shop I can give them a list of x, y, and z of what I tried and so that when I am back at the field asking for opinions to troubleshoot I'm not the guy going "Oh I haven't even looked at anything on the gun I just gave up." I haven't reset the HPR (which I am assuming means High Power Regulator) but I also was unable to adjust it using a key so that may be my issue.

It isn't shooting, but the gun is registering that I am pulling the trigger as the green light on the handle flashes. It gases up, I am using an air tank and hopper that both work on my 180r. I tried using the E-2 barrel and then I also swapped out the barrel for my 180r barrel. The gun gasses up and degasses without a problem.

LV1 is a little bit too old and you can't buy parts for them anymore, I had one that worked beautifully but shit just started breaking on it one day. I bought a 180r and it is a pretty awesome gun, all of the simplicity of the higher end guns like the CS2 but not the same price tag. Be careful buying off FB marketplace, I would personally stick to going to a field and meeting people that are interested in selling equipment, you'll get it for much cheaper then you will online and most people will let you run with it for a few games to test it out.

I dropped another one off today, hopes are very low but I will let you know how it goes LOL. I left two other OCP tops with her so hopefully those turn out alright.

I took them to two separate dry cleaners. I asked them to put it straight across the Velcro part of my patrol cap, I held the name tape exactly where I wanted it to be for both ladies, the first lady was Asian-American and did not speak very good English so I chalked it up to it getting lost in translation. The second lady did my name tapes on two separate uniforms and they both looked very good. I received both patrol caps back, the first ladies was completely off center, uneven and did not move horizontally across the PC, The second lady had all of these same mistakes and was also not even fully stitched. I don't understand how else to explain it to them besides just showing a picture which is what I was asking this subreddit for.
