I have an A-5 + R-T. My marker was doing "PUUUU......" when I press the trigger. So I took it to an airsmith, he said it was the spring and replaced it. Then it seemed fine, but when I went to the field to play it. It goes off like before, "PUUUUUUUU..........". The gas leaks by a lot, and the response trigger is not functioning right. But I know it's not the R-T problem. Anyone else has any idea of what this is? Appreciate your help, thank you. |

Sounds like your sear isnt catching, check it for wear. It could also be a leak in the gas lines.

Sorry I am pretty new at this. Where should I look for the sear? The gas tube is fine, there is no leak... I've checked for leak many times but don't think there is a leak. I could be wrong with RT too.

So you suggest that I replace it? If this is not the case, can there be any other kind of problem? O-ring? Not oiled well? Which section of the gun I need to double-check on? Can the valve be the problem too? Thanks!! |

You may neeed to drop a few drops of oil in the asa and shoot a couple
of shots and I'm not sure but I do believe that it isn't recomended
that you take your gun apart EVERY game.....YWSM correct me if I'm wrong |

Forgot to add, If I press the trigger all the way, it works most of time. If I intend to press the trigger half way to simulate the automatic RT provides, that kind of problem occurs. |

Still sounds like you may be leaking somewhere... That would explain why you're r/t/bolt is getting starved for air during high rates of fire. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

I did a leak check, there doesn't seemed to be any leaking. The gun fires well like I described, if I press trigger all the way. If I press it a little bit, then it will fire like continously abnormally. Like "POOM....OM....OM", which wastes gas and not firing any ball. Gah.... so painful. |

Ok, the problem is finally solved by taking it to the shop. It's the hammer. Further details will be given when I re-acquire my gun today.
