its should be on the marker it self.  If not, then its lost.  Buy one or call tippmann for new screw.

Sounds like it's a case of the missing screw. Tippmann will send you out a new one for free, just give them a shout.

If you need your marker in working condition now, then your nearest hardware store should have what your looking for. The Velocity screw is essentially a "Grub Screw".

I'm not positive on the threading size, but you can determine it using a Tap and Dye set. Essentially what you are doing is using a Tap to mimic a screw. Once you find a Tap that easily screws in and out of the Velocity screw hole, you can record what the thread size it is (The Tap should say it) and then you can go the hardware store and buy the respecting Grub screw.

Or take the Powertube out of the A-5, go to a hardware store and experiment with different grub screws until one fits. Local hardware stores usually don't have a problem with bringing in parts to match certain screws too. I wouldn't suggest taking in the whole marker in though! heh

Food for Thought

If you need to find one at a hardware store.  Its a 5/16 diameter X 24 tpi set screw approx 7/16 inches long.  You can use a longer or shorter screw but if it is too long you may have to remove it to disassemble the marker.
