A5 RT Problem with Remote Line

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

   Hey Guys, first post here!
Anyway, I just got back from the local paintball field and was having problems with my RT.  Brand new A5 with RT, new Ninja Remote Line with Slide Check.  Hooked everything up, no leaks, seemed to shoot fine in semi-auto but RT was having problems.

While using the RT the marker would shoot 3-4 balls in succession then would stop.  I would then have to rack the slide in order to shoot again.

After getting back home I hooked the tank up directly to the gun, RT works perfectly fine.  Obviously it's something with the Remote Line, I'm just not exactly sure.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

	The first thing that comes to mind is that the remote line's on/off is partially blocking the pin-valve on the tank when it's screwed fully in to the "On" position. We had this issues at my shop back in the early 2000's with some of the ASAs on remote lines back then. The fix is pretty easy. Turn the knob on the remote line all the way to the "on" position, then back it off 1/4 to 1/2 turn. This still allows for optimal air flow, but reduces the risk of the actuator in the remote on/off from potentially blocking the airflow from the tank. Give that a try first and let us know if it fixes the issue.

	Also, RTs like liquid CO2. Your remote may be acting like an expansion chamber and allowing the gas to expand. Seeing as how it is cold out now, that might be the case.
