Tippmann upgrades

   Okay, here is the deal. I have an a5 that refuses to shoot over a slow 10bps. I have no clue on what to do, all it does is choke out on itself and I cant pinpoint the problem. I need to know how to get this gun to push out some bps. All the things done to the gun are listed. By the way this gun runs of off CO2

1. E-grip with selector switch.
2. Remote hose line
3. New star bolt with metal chamber.
4. Riffled barrel
5. RAP4 cyclone upgrade
6. Squashy paddles

	Most issues I have seen are mistakingly setting the dwell when you want to change the BPS. Is the marker cycling fast, just not shooting paint fast, or just cycling slow?

	could be the bolt too. have you tried with the stock bolt. Alot of times stock tippmann internals on the guns themselves are the best to use. Also how cold is it where you are shooting?
	Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your...

	I live in Tennessee, it is chilly down here right now, about 30-40 degrees. The one thing I have not changed on the gun would be the real bolt. I have replaced the front bolt and the power tube. I have not changed the Dwell settings because I could not figure out how to get a proper input for the trigger. The gun itself just chokes, as in it is seemingly not cocking back fast enough or the trigger is too fast for it. It will shot fast for a moment then it will start chocking

	Replace the stock internals and try shooting in a warmer environment. 30-40 degrees is on the cold side for CO2 and it may not have enough time to expand causing starvation. Remote line may be starving the marker as well. Make sure when you turn it on that you are not turning it too far in. Turn the remote knob until you feel it air up and then maybe 1/2 turn more and stop. If it continues to starve, try without the remote.

	Can you tell me, if you have an e grip, what kind of dwell or debouce setting i should have? I have reset the trigger twice to default setting. My next step is to charge the battery I have and also buy a new 9v.

	I thank everybody for there help on this post. I suspected that my rechargable 9v might being loosing some juice. so tonight I went out and bought some nice new 9v's and lets just say all the upgrades equal no chops and 25bps tops.
