Omega question

[jperk95]

Well I'm now the luck owner of both the silver bullet and the omega. I just purchased the omega from the classifieds on here and had 2 questions I bet someone can answer.
First on the original version of the omega with the screws in the head, should the top part be able to spin separate from the rest of the head? ( sorry for not knowing the actual names) Also I tried to use the omega at 6v and nothing fires at all ( I tried 3 diffrent sets of batteries), so wondering if I need to adjust the pin? It works great at 3.7.

Any info would be great!

Thanks

Yes the head will spin. As far as stacking batteries, the protection circuit may be tripping.

CDDZ,
Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the noob question, but your talking about the protection circuit on the batteries correct?
FYI, I just put the same batteries and carto on the SB and it firing on that just fine.

Not that I support stacking batteries, in fact it is not recommended. The CR123 are a smaller in diameter than the 18650. The positive button in the top of the stack batteries may not be sitting in the Omega to make proper contact. The Omega fire pin is smaller than the contact on the SB. Use card stock or something similar to sleeve the Omega to ensure proper alignment.

Thanks for the great info, CDDZ. If you build it I will buy it! I think ill just stick with the 18650 and put my tank on it, i can get it to fire just fine pulling it down.

Thanks again for you time
