Good deal?

So here's the deal this noob has craped out his gun, a tippmann A-5, he said that he cocked it and it would shoot, so then he recocked it and then it would shoot sorta. so my friend and I got to thinkin' that it was that he never cleand it before and that there was crud in the main body creating friction and makeing it not be able to shoot.

so any way the kid asked me to look at it to see what was wrong with it, im thinin that i just have to clean it. Could there be anything else wrong with it? I told him that i would buy it for $50 and hes like ok.

Is it a good idea or no?

o sorr y it is an A-5 i thought i said that

HAha but you must know this kid is a disgrace to paintball and i'm simply helping him buy not playing.... here is a little story

his first game i was on his team, and off in the far distance we hear shots. you can barly hear it. he squeals (like a pig) and jump into the mud and curls into a ball. through his brand new gun into the stream and mud.

Do him a favor and buy it!!!!

Sounds good. Buy it, clean and maybe repair it. When it works fine again, show him and laugh.

I'd get it. Even if you don't want it (after you fix it), you can sell it again and make some quick $.

buy it. 50 bucks heck yea.

I say buy it for $50, fix it, and sell it back to him for $100.

clean it and oil it, u may wanna paint it too, if it doesnt work after u clean and oil it, u may have to get new internals, but even if u do, u ripped the kid off                     

ya im not sure, the situation wasnt described well enough for me to know for certain, but if he shot once, then had to recock and it shot with what seemd like a lower velocity, i personally think something may be wrong with the two screws that help regulate the c02 to the gun.  if he messed with anything at all have a local shop check it out, which he should anyways, but if your interested in how to fix this, if you find its the problem just pm me and ill help this kid out.

p.s. definetly by it. you could get it fixed so easily, and thats dirt cheap for an a5
