I have recently bought a Tippmann a-5 second hand. The problem I am getting is it will only fire about one shot and then as you pull the trigger all you here is the trigger clicking. Its not jamming and its not the tank (refilled it). It does sometimes fire if I cock it again. I am using an A-5 with E trigger and a 20 oz co2 tank. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? |

sounds like the rod in the e-grip is not tripping the sear. is the clicking very faint and soft or somewhat loud? if its a faint click then its not tripping the micro switch poprerly. if it loud then the sear isn't tripping the valve when the rod hits it. ------------- www.pbteamwow.com |

Can you borrow a stock grip to try, to see if the E-Grip is the problem? ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

Actually come to think of it when I did install the battery, I didnt check the instructions about the rod (Armature Pin). I am certain that is the problem. It is a loud click by the way. Just wish i hadnt sent it in to get serviced before checking the boards.. Ironic Thx anyway

yeah, then sear wasn't tripping the valve. oh well, tippmann will fix
it and you'll get it back soon. they are pretty fast. if thats where
you sent it.

had the same problem call tippmann they sent out a new sear. It still happened, REPLACED the BATTERY problem solved. If I am lucky I get a case and a half to 2 cases of paint from a good quality battery. ------------- Tippmann A-5 E-Grip JCS DUAL Trigger 14" J&J ceramic 68/4500 bullet drop macro line polished internals LPK The damage done to a man should be such that there is no fear of revenge!!! |

bullseye9, do you take your battery out when not using it? it you take it out, it will last a lot longer. i know its a pain, buts it worth the 3-4 bucks for a 9 volt to me ------------- www.pbteamwow.com |

I think almost all electronic devices drain the batteries slightly even when they are off. Has something to do with the terminals touching metal, not necessarily the board using energy. -------------

much faster before i statred taking them out after play. so i say yes

I never take my battery out between the times I play. I have about 200,000 rounds through my E Grip and am on my second battery. ------------- www.mnmilitia.com http://www.mnmilitia.com/index.php?page_id=37 - ME http://www.mnmilitia.com/forums/ - Our Forum |
