I have a custom pro e and when I shot at home without co2 there was no problem whatsoever, but on the field it broke down after the first 50 shots.
After I fired the e-grip for the first 50 times it didn't respond anymore.
But if I shook the gun and I pushed the safety pin in a couple of times it did shoot 1 shot, or shoot randomly good or not.

So... I opened her up and looked, but couldn't find anything! and it worked like normal. Then when I put it alltogether again: I could pull the trigger, but the shot never came!
I exchanged the battery but it stil didn't shoot.

I put on some gas today and it works fine the first couple of shots.
After that the 'click' from the trigger dissapears and the bolt stays cocked.

What can be the problem? Confused

Sorry, Tippmann doesn't update their site with new tech information, and very few people on here own a Custom Pro. I don't think we will be much help.

Call Tippmann and ask fro help, and also request that the custom pro tech info be posted on the site.

yo buddy i can think of some things....maybe the seer isn't working correctly so just getta new one...maybe the bolt engraving to catch the seer is either too far back or forward....umm i don't own an a5 but i think those are some legit reasons
the bigger you get the more people wanna see you fall.

Battery, battery, battery.

Just because it makes your tounge tingle doesn't mean that it has enough charge to operate the sear.

It's not the battery. The strangest thing is: I used it the day after (after  I resoldered the batery wires) and it worked ok!
 I sure hope i'm not having troubles again.

Can it be the co2 or bad installation of the vertical adapter?

Sounds like your gun is just freezing up...?

Try shooting slower and see if that helps.

you may need to get an anti siphon tube for your tank, I have a Custom Pro E and an anti siphon tube and I have never had that problem.  Make sure the magnet under your solenoid is sitting right ....
