A-5 airhog!?!

well, something wrong if you're only getting 500. i was pulling about 800 with just strait Co2 and not much time to expand. try the x-chamber or remote. palmer will increase it also. i'm up to 1200 now with a remote and palmer stabalizer. i am about to go low pressure so that will help more.

whats your setup and how is you Co2 ran? is it all stock?

well, you shouldn't be getting that low of a shot count espically with an expansion chamber.
you might want to check all you conections for a small, pin hole leak that you cannont hear. check all the fitting before and after the hose, check th ASA, check the x-chamber the FVA and the barrel and tombstone.

do a leak check on it. soap and water mix, then apply with a cotton ball over the entire area, go all the way around each part that air flows through at the connection points. look for small bubbles.

let me know if you absoutly for sure don't have a leak.

I'm not an a5 guy but I've heard that an RVA does wonders for some for efficiency. a5 shot counts seem to vary alot from gun to gun out of the box.

OK LISTEN UP EVERYBODY!! UR GETTIN 500 SHOTS BECAUSE U NEED 1 SHOT TO SHOOT THE PAINTBALL AND 1 SHOT TO USE THE CYCLONE FEED AND 1 SHOT TO BRING THE BOLT BACK!!! U NEED 3 REGULAR SHOTS FOR EVERY 1 A5 SHOT!!! TRUST ME I HAVE AN A5!!
srry about the caps..i'm to lazy to retype it!

ya I only get about 750 shots. I got and idea What's your altitude. That could affect it a little but not 300 shots worth maybe 100 because the tank is hard.

Do you have the need for speed?

I also had major issues with that when I first got my A-5. I burned through a tank before I used up the extra paint from the first pod refill. Unfortunately that was 2 years ago and I cannot remember exactly what I did to fix the problem (I know, big help). But I do know I did not send it in or take it to a Proshop.

I am pretty sure I just took it all apart, cleaned it out and put it back together right (which I may have screwed up the time before). I also experimented with the Madman Spring Kit (which is currently VERY difficult to find). I believe I also played around with the VAS (and a velocity regulator). I would suggest that a RVA could help a little, just as my spring kit did.

However, it is also possible that you have an incorrectly installed anti-siphon tank and are drawing liquid. This is not a terrible thing but does decrease efficiency a little bit. Unlike electro-markers, it will not damage the A-5. Tippmanns are built pretty tough to take years of abuse. In that I know, my next newest marker to my A-5 is a 68-Special and those haven't even been made for over 10 years - and all 6 I own run great.

A-5: 12" Ceramic, Egrip/WAS/Duel, HPA, MP5 sliding stock

Hmmmmm, I can get about 900+ shots out of a 20oz tank.
