hello..this is my first post..i hope i'm in the right place.. i just got the e-grip for my a-5 and when there is no air attached to my gun...and i pull the trigger it sounds fine. it clicks 3 times for the 3 at a time mode..it clicks real fast for the automatic mode..etc..but when i attach my 20oz to the gun..and shoot the gun it fires real slow...even though the clicking it still happening at what seems like the normal rate for whatever mode i'm in.... for example..if i'm in the automatic mode and my shoot...it fires like 1 bullet every 2 or 3 seconds (i'm holding the trigger down of course) but when i listen closing i hear the clicking going way faster than the balls are coming out.......any ideas on what i'm doing wrong? I tried adjusting the velocity screw just to see if that would help..but it didn't.

hey redlion56...thanks for the reply..yah ..i knew absolutely nothing about paintguns or tippmann about 3 months ago..so when i got the gun i went to a shop and they showed me where to oil it..(they didn't didn't show me how to oil the cyclone though) and i did..i got the e-grip like a month later..but i guess i could try oiling the internals again..i have yet to play a game..i'm that new..hehe |

try turning up the rate of fire. If this doesn't help call tippman!!! ------------- 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!!! |

| sounds like you might have the battery in wrong, causing it to not fire hard enought to trip the tigger release. Or maybe your battery is dead. I don't care for the way the egrip is assembled because it is so hard to put back together after removing the battery. So you have to be extra carfull you put it back together the right way. |

Same, after searching everywhere for a clue to what was going on, it was ultimately the battery. I tried putting a used battery with some juice in it but nothing. {!!WORD TO THE WISE!!} Always have spare batteries on hand! |
