A-5 issue

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   bearing in mind that I have a:
tippmann A-5, E-trigger, SAW stock, Flatline barrel.
My gun isnt working after over a year  of extreme awesomeness and no problems whatsoever. After loading in a full 12 oz. tank and paintballs and turning on the trigger, cocking the gun, etc. Upon firing i hear a 'plunk' sound and the gun doesent fire, i can see that CO2 is coming out of the barrel but no paintballs. I re-cock the gun and I get the same 'plunk' sound again. And again, and again. .I disassembled it and  NOTHING that i can see is out of the ordinary or broken.(i have done this many times in the past to clean and oil so i know nothing appears to be wrong) I have reassembled it many times with the same result. What could be wrong? thanks in advance for the help!

	I said I wouldn't answer questions, so I'll ask them Does the A-5 shoot normally except no paint, or does it act like it has a broken ratchet?
