| i have an A-5 and im having some problems. First the gun worked fine when i got it, then i got the e-grip and it would fire then it would stop firing i would hear the trigger but no balls would come out, i would then have to recock it and it would work and then it would stop so on and so forth. Then i got the flatline barrel and now the balls are breaking and some of them are going 10 feet in front of me. It seems like theres not enough pressure but somtimes it fires and its not straight at all. thanks to whoever helps me |

a low battery will cause the solenoid to not push the sear up enough to release the bolt, and sometimes it will. so the first thig you want to do is get a new battery. how cold is it out? with cold temeratures, your tank wont give you much or enough pressure. -------------

| its pretty cold , if i got a nitro tank will i still have the same problems. As for the battery , i put a new battery in when i first got it and it would fire and work fine then it would stop and i would hear the trigger clicking but no balls would come out then i would pull the cocker back and it would work again then it would stop. when it stops all i hear is the trigger no balls or air comes out. thanks for your help |

| You may want to replace the armature pin in the Egrip. The very slightest wear and they will not activate the sear. Call tippmann and explain it to the service tech and they will probably just send you a new one. |

It sounds like its decocking. Sometimes the e-grip might outshoot the bolt. It happens. Lube the bolt.and all the internals. |
