first it sounded like you explaining what a gun dose
when its out of air. it will fire rapidly and then go off full auto till its almost out of air. What i would do is look where the tank srews into the gun and see is it is clean and dirt isnt getting into the hole your ball brakeing situation may be due to your fps screw is to far out.(out is high in is low) but i dont know. if you dont know what its supost to look like look in the owners manual or on this site some where they have the assembly pictures from the manual. (or cheap paint might have somthin to do with your balls braking  ------------- Tippmann A-5 Shockteck Drop Forward (Red) Custom Products barrel 12in (Red) Playboy Stickers (Red) Shoot FAST and is one HELL of a BABE MAGNET!!! |

Make sure the paint you're using fits in your barrel (i.e. not too large) and your velocity isn't too high. ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |

| I think it is the power tube. It has a chip at the end were the rear bolt it. Do you think this is the problem? |

That shouldn't cause any problems except with blow back (re-cocking). Ball breakage would occur around the front bolt. The front bolt pushes the ball into the barrel, then air is released. It sounds like the ball isn't fitting into the barrel, or the balls are too brittle for the bolt to hit them. ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |

if the bolts not comming back all the way you could be breaking paint... replace the powertube and see if that works. ------------- saving the world, one warship at a time. |

The powertube is definitely the problem.. With that chip, the seal is broken so when the bolt comes back, the air is escaping instead of feeding to the cyclone which using the blow back air to turn the cyclone. The timing is off, so the balls are getting busted as they drop. ------------- Team Identity Crisis |

Take apart your gun. It sounds like part of your problem is that you were low on air. ------------- TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM 14" Progressive barrel 32* Black gel grips BT-16 Double trigger Pen Spring Mod X-core Expansion Chamber Vertical Adapter |
