I have a Tippmann A-5 with an RT. I take care of it very well and its always very clean. But for some reason, the gun doesnt cock. You can fire it several times and it will work fine. Then it just stops cycling and you have to use the plunger to cycle balls. I have no idea what is wrong. It just started happening one day. I dont know if its in the RT or what. Someone please help me!!!!

Most likely a broken cyclone ratchet. Call Tippmann and they will send you new one for free.

you can check that by unscrewing the plate on the bottom of the cyclone feed

check air, air pressure, and the seals. If you dont have enough pressure then the gyclone wont feed.

Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your...

How old is your gun? With less than normal wear and tear, your ratchet in your cyclone should be done by now. As Snake said, just call them up and they will send you a new kit.
Personal Experience: Pain in the butt to get the new ratchet in, but it will start working again. |
