I have an A-5 and was wondering why there isnt a hole somewhere behind the hammer. I think it would shoot faster if the air behind the hammer could move freely.

...  Let me think...  I honestly have no clue.  I don't own an A-5 (I haven't even used one), but I'm guessing the air would leak out through the cocking mechanism.  Probably not, but just a guess.  Ah, forget it.  I have no clue.

Never though of that. But why is there an o ring on the end cap. Seems like they want air sealed in.

Its a bumper o-ring, when the hammer comes back it slams
into that cap which slams into the o-ring .

oh, the blowback gases escape through the trigger assembly
mainly. They arnt really slowing anything down and the
speed your firing, you just gotta pull the trigger
faster.Put air on the gun,take out the rear trigger frame
pin, pull down the rear of the triiger frame away from the body of the gun cock and let go of the cocking
handle....observe....... maybe at that speed its getting
slowed from the gas not being able to escape rapidly but
not enough from just normal shooting.
