I'm a rec baller-i stick to urban combat in the sheds on my property-sick combat at its best

I like to modify my A-5 by hand-minimal factory upgrades-flatline only, definately worth it

I don't have a machine shop or anything-I stick to tape, wire, and luck

I built a push button tac-lite for my A-5 (if you want instructions, let me know), mounted a red dot hunting sight, and I was bored, so i stripped the trigger of my gun (easy thanks to the pins)...taking a look at the trigger mechanism, i quickly figured out how to modify the sear to make the gun a full auto (all you need is a toothpick believe it or not)...problem is, my rate of fire is far to incredibly high to be of any use (60 rounds a seconds-means almost two cases in a minute--burns through a little 12 oz in less than 5 minutes of sporadic bursts) and yes, 60bps does outshoot the cyclone...

Anyone got ideas for more mods? AND!, anyone got any advice on how to slow down the rate of fire to keep it from making a mess in my cyclone/action?

im half amish and i cant figure out how to post a pic from my hard drive-help?

yeah...sorry about putting it on the gallery, my fault sorry

yeah...its more like 60 airshots a second...if i put in paint, it shoots half of them, but makes a mess in the gun

i didnt take the sear out-i just disangaged the reset-hard to explain sorry-ill try pics later

well ever you did put it back how it suppose to be

heres something safer:

• take out stock TRIGGER spring and put in a clicky pen spring cut to the same size

bravecoward-whats a pen spring gonna do?

i don't care about lighter trigger pull-isnt that what the new spring does?

theres no real chance of harming the gun-its well built and the only mod is a piece of toothpick-not even a cm long

i can switch it back in less than a minute (love those pins)

goodnight

no pic no post

I thought about this for a sec, and I bet he just put a piece of toothpick between the front of the sear notch and the pin, so when he holds the trigger down it also holds the sear down so the bolt never engages the sear, so it goes auto. Then when he lets go of the trigger, the sear is released and catches the bolt. whenever he pulls the trigger it goes auto, and when he lets go, it stops, so it is pretty much an auto A5.

Klaus, if that is how you did it, its a very smart idea, congrats. and no, it probibly wont hurt the gun, except fill it with paint. Like you said, I wonder if you could slow down the cycle rate, cause that would be awsome! Also, i dont think the cycle rate of an A5 would be as high as 60 bps, but its probibly still shooting at about 35 bps, or a little more.

If you mix graphite and regular liquid lube, it will make a kind of sludge that will slow the bolt down.

But its really dumb and not safe to go full auto anyway.

bingo buddy boy-thats exactly what i did

i put plenty of oil in the bolt/action-which surprisingly makes a relatively effective hydralulic buffer-its almost to a managable rate

bingo buddy boy! thats exactly what I did

i put extra oil in the action which makes a surprisingly effective hydraulic buffer-its almost down to a mangable rate

sorry about the double post-completely my fault

yeah 12 bps sounds awesome compared to a meager 45bps (hydraulic buffered) and its way cheaper than a toothpick

...except, im the kinda guy who likes to screw around with stuff-without guys like me, we'd still be grunting in a cave

im not calling the Egrip ineffective-i completely believe it works well but im not asking for anyone to tell me to buy an egrip

if anyone here is literate (yep, that means you can read), then please read the part where i wrote "any advice on how to get it to work, let me know"  i don't need anyone to tell me to take out the toothpick or to buy an upgrade

and please quit telling me im going to break my gun or as "paintball_playa" so eliquently put it-"yea, it does sound like hes trying to **edited** up his gun" because if it breaks ill fix it

procarbinefreak wrote: you will ruin your gun like this... like you said it is cycling faster than the gun can feed and the internals aren't meant to cycle at this speed for any length of time.  there is no way of feeding paint into the gun fast enough.  take the piece of toothpick out of your gun and learn to shoot faster.  get the r/t or e-grip.  there is a constant flow of posts like this with newbs who think its cool.  if you want to break your gun... go ahead and keep it up.

im a newb who thinks its cool and wants to break my gun eh?

well, i dont think im cool-i think your cool for making fun of people who like to tinker and have a little fun-oh your so awesome, an upfront to God himself-please teach me to be as cool as you cause im sick of people liking me and if i could be cool like you everyone would avoid me and i could die alone, old and bitter

apology? accepted and sorry if i came off as mean

i would never waste tippmanns money by making them replace parts i broke...but schiels sporting goods store is a different story-guns under warenty-no questions asked

if i cant get it working, ill take the toothpick out-its a two second job-and go back to tossing firecrackers to make up for lack of airborne paint

Is this toothpick wooden or plastic?

I have a 98 Custom so I don't know how it would work. I think my Qloader can handle 60 bps but everyone says its 30bps.

i just tossed in a piece of wooder toothpick-normal round toothpick-but i think plastic would work better

let me know if you try it

ps...if you try it, dont run paint through it unless u wanna strip ur gun down to clean it out

if i pick up the gun, im carrying the sear-understand????

i didnt take the sear out!!!!!

the sear is still in my gun-and it still does its job

ruin my internals?? name one part i'll bust and give me decent reason why it will damage that part
