    Posted: 23 February 2005 at 3:04am

Hey I just got my Tippmann A5 this morning and wow this hopper is impossible to remove after the lil tab locks in place. I am scared of using to much force and tearing this whole hopper/cyclone feed system to pieces.. I havent been able to get my hopper off since the first time I assembled it. Any tips or suggestions?? I'm worried about damaging the gun while wrestling this thing off.

Thanks

Don' t panic  its quite tight to start with just hold the hopper at the rear end  and twist it will come out, if any thing the tab that locks in place wears a little but its no problem

Cheers

Mad I'm new on the forum and I worry if sometime you make useful comments or help ppl else then making fun of them. All your msg's I seen aren't really needed. Hope that you make useful comments sometime.

Just twist it and pull up like everyone sayd man. By the way, hope you like your new marker

No need to worry. Its a little hard at first to get it loose. It will loosen up after use. Just do what they said up there.

Dont flame these people. The forum's whole purpose is for help and not to put other people down who need it. Stay on your normal topics and leave the people who use this place correctly alone.
