I think that this problem had started once i had gotten an egrip(not sure if it is an egrip problem or not). i bought an A5 with a response trigger, but it never came with the mechanics for the response trigger(gay). I liked the egrip on my angel so i figured id buy one for my A5. Now, basically when i pull the trigger its like the gun is going full auto, but only shoots one ball, and the ball goes...3 feet or so.. I have a remote line on it, changed the stocks around, bought a new powertube as well, and nothing seems to be working. Im not sure if it is a tombstone problem, i am missing the clip to the tombstone (which only holds it up) but i have the push pin in its place so i figured i wouldnt need it(i also couldnt find a replacement for the clip for the tombstone). If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Well first, you need another Spring Latch, that Latch is what helps hold the Tombstone in place, just in case the Push Pin that also holds the Tombstone in place as well might happen to pop out and those Push Pins on the A5/X7 are easy to pop out and get lost.

As for the E-Grip, go here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N476WLZVYg8

As for the 3ft paintball flight....if you turned the Knob on the Remote Line all the way down, the Pin inside is what pushes down aginst the Pin Valve on the tank's valve to release the Air/Co2 and that same Pin can also restrict the Flow of Air/Co2 from the tank, so to get more Air/Co2 from the tank, give the Remote Line Knob a 1/4 to 1/2 Turn Counter Clock-Wise.

You have an A-1 and still use your A5? That's dedication. 

Being that this has happened so many teams to guns on my team, I believe there is a design flaw somewhere. Replace your internal o-rings and either put BLUE locktite (not red-red is made to never come off) or teflon tape where the bottom line goes into the chamber. 

If this doesn't work, my advice would be to take it to a shop and have them replace the chamber. The o-rings should've sealed it back up, but if they didn't then there is wear in your chamber. $50 after parts and labor to fix a 98 of mine after this happened.
