Hi!!! Just received my A5, went to play and i found out that the Velocity Screw and the cyclone tube ( that little one that brings the gas from the weapon to the C.Feeder ) were sending out co2 every time i shooted, and to finalize and i dont know if this is normal my c.feeder stopped "spinning" around almost in the end of the bottle!!! Just wanna know if these kind of situations are normal!!!

Sorry to bother you guys but i dont have anyone more to help me!!!

I'm pretty sure the CO2 discharge from the cyclone tube is not normal. You might want to look into that. And it is normal that the cyclone stops spinning when you're at the end of the bottle.

My cyclone stops spinning when i'm running low on Co2 too. My friend's does also. I think that's somewhat normal. As for the co2 comming out, see if the screw connecting the cyclone gas tube to the gun is tight. The only time i've ever had Co2 come out of the velocity screw hole is when i lost the screw.

It's perfectly normal that the Cyclone will stop cycling when your tank is low. As for your other problem, make sure all the fittings are attached correctly, and are tight enough.

Your cyclone needs enough pressure to turn the ratchet and such.

MAke sure your banjo fitting is nice and tight.

No it's not normal.  Make sure the screw is still there.  Also make sure it's not stripped or anything like that.  Check the valve and make sure nothing looks bad.  Replace O-Rings.  That's all I can think of.

That is horrible. Who filled your tank? It sounds like it wasn't filled all the way.

Meh. He most likely didn't fill it right. When you fill a CO2, you must first dump the remaining gas in the tank, fill it once, dump it completely, fill it again.

my tank was completely empty before he filled it!!! it cant be because of the co2 getting out from the velocity screw can it?? it only gets out when i shoot and beside that i dont believe that it is responsible for the A5 perfomance, i was shooting at 275 fps!!!
