Dangerous Power Fusion Diassembly

[Cdn_Cuda]

My brother-in-law dropped off his DP Fusion for an overhaul. He said it worked great last outing, over a decade ago. This is the last of his paintball markers after so sold his CCMs.

So let’s get into it!

First, staring with the marker. Nothing fancy, just a black gen 1 DP Fusion.

So we’ll remove the the reg, and unscrew the frame screws, which are keyhole mounted under the frame.




Then we need to remove the eye covers and unhook the eyes and deal with the eye covers. I when I popped the overs off the first it the detents were covered in more white powder than a mirrored table. I had cleared it all up before photos. The ball detents are simply ball
Bearings with spring sandwiched between the ball and the eye over. Rudimentary, but durable! No plastic nubbings. They might have problems with modern micro-paint though.



Once both eye covers have been removed, you can unhook the solenoid cable and full remove the trigger frame and set it aside.

Now we can start on the main bits and pieces.

Starting with the back cap. The DP has kind of a fancy back cap that allows for easy removal. A quarter of a turn a turn allows the cap to slide out of the body, followed by the ram and the main spring.



There are markings on the end cap showing orientation for easy reference.



And here is the ram and spring in the standard format, as one would expect:


I pulled the valve lug, allowing me to slide the valve out of the body:




Then I remove the solenoid:

Now let’s turn to the front of the marker and the LPR assembly. With a little effort, this easy loosens off by hand.



I can then remove the valve spring and pin, which was fairly interesting. The value has a very unique shape and an oring on the tip.



Now that all the rest of the parts have been removed I can pop out the valve as well.



The value looks like a cocker 11/16 valve, but has an internal seal where the valve pin face rests.

And here is all the fun bits and pieces in operational orientation:

I replaced the majority of the o-rings, mostly consisting of 015 orings, gave an ample lubing and stuck it all back together and she happily rips. My only leak was from a macroline o-ring and I have replaced that o-ring.

Overall, a pretty easy rebuild and successful rebuild. No fancy board to die on this and never having really paid attention to the DP Fusion is actually has nice, subtle milling that makes the body look a little better than I though.

I do have a bit of a soft spot for DP markers, having previously owned a Threshold (last new marker I bought!) and an I-Revi.
