Hey guys, I'm new to this... I'm borrowing a friends A5 and 98 Custom. He said they work fine, but everytime I cock the gun I can only shoot it once before I have to cock the gun again. Essentially making it a single shot gun. What do I need to do to fix this?? I'm running 20oz CO2, double trigger and an expansion chamber on the A5, and just a 20oz CO2 on the 98 Custom. Help would be appreciated, as I said... I'm new to this. Thanks!!!

1. Make sure the CO2 tank is full.
2. Oil the marker.
3. Check the O-ring on the rear bolt. Inspect it very closely for wear and damage.
4. Replace the drive spring.
 
I've never seen anyone own the woods because of what marker they use.

also may just be a simpler fix.  screw the tank all the way on. then unscrew it 1/8 - 1/4 a turn.  sometimes the pin that pushes the pin in on the tank actually blocks the air flow somewhat.  I would also tank the expansion chamber off and try it.  if it works there is either a leak or blockage in the expansions chamber.
Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your...

So you are saying it's happening with both markers? Are the tanks full?
