    Posted: 16 April 2016 at 7:25pm
I just bought a new a5 i took it out to use it today and it did fine the first 300 or so paintballs I shot thru it but after that the cylinder stopped spinning and would not load anymore paintballs into the gun.I let the gun sit for a few hours and went to shoot it again and it did the same thing once I shot about 300 paintballs thru it. Any ideas?

After ca. 300 Balls will just your cyclonefeed stop working, so the marker still shoot without paint but it works ?

Do you use CO2 or HPA ?

May to much grease or no grease in the cyclone cylinder and than i could freeze !?!?!? Damaged ratchet should not be the Problem cause after .. it works 300 Balls Long ! Mmhhh we should have more Infos ...

Mmhhh OK than the cylonefeed is worse, The gasline is screwed tight ? stop turning when you feel the end, thatīs enough cause there is an O-Ring and to much isnīt good !!!
If your mech enough clean, check surfaces and grease the cyclone Piston !?!?!?

I try would be hold the marker Barrel in the air and shoot without paint more than 300 if itīs possible. To check if may liquid gas freezes the cyclone, if itīs may just to much grease or nothing or you should have an antiliquidsystem.

Your rate of fire was ??? do you use E-Grip or RT ???
Co2 will cool down your marker(parts) really quick if you are shooting quick !!!

You could be close to running the tank empty.  
You could be running a cold CO2 tank and liquid is not turning to gas to fire the marker and operate the cyclone at the same time.  Happens often enough with A5's and CO2 here in the north east with fall/winter games if it is cold enough.
