My A-5 has a fully auto trigger system. But sometimes, more like most of the time not all the time, I try to do full auto it likes to just stop and make a poot sound and stop firing, then you have to cock the gun again. This is not very funny when your out trying to kill people. Can anyone tell me why my gun does this and how to make it stop being dumb?

That O-ring goes BEHIND the rear bolt and around the drive spring. It just kind of floats around back there not really in a groove or around anything. It's just there so the rear bolt has something to bump into instead of slamming into the rear of the marker.
If you have it between the rear bolt and the power tube your gun isn't going to work.

I've never seen anyone own the woods because of what marker they use.

Why are you trying to kill people? And I highly doubt it's the A5 acting dumb since it's an inanimate object and incapable of either having intelligence or lack thereof.  I would suggest reading and possibly rereading the manual to make sure you are operating the marker correctly.

^^^ That.  Plus I notified the police of the original poster's homicidal intentions.

I understand that, but I would like to know why it would react. It is like the trigger system is not catching the moving pump or what ever it is. It acts like it slips off of the groove in it making it not hold. Should I just get a new Trigger parts?

Are you using CO2 or HPA?
