It sounds as if you are out of air. Do you have a full CO2 tank?

yeah, my co2 is full.. i used 2 20 oz tanks in about 200 shots. the
fully auto sound comes from the cyclone feed. does it continue to make
noise if the trigger is pulled and not released? i have an egrip
trigger but it wasnt turned on. my upgrades are flatline barrell double trigger egrip expansion chamber and a stock |

You cant turn on a stock e-grip. If it has a bettery in it that is good
it is on. Make sure your not set on full auto mode. Print out the owner
manuals for your marker and tippmann "ups" here from the site.

The E-Grip does not have an on/off switch. The only way it will not work is if the safety is on or the battery is taken out. Also, the cyclone will not operate if you have no co2 in the tank and will only operate when the marker is fired. If your marker seems like it continues to fire after the trigger is released, your co2 input is probably below 600 psi. Normal cause for this = you're running out of co2. This time of year if you're playing outside with an E-Grip you can easily freeze the internals of the A-5 when using co2, which will act as stated above. Also, the A-5 will shoot about 800 rounds from a 20 oz co2 in warm weather. If your playing outside in the winter (less than 50 farenheit) you'll get considerably less shots. ------------- www.mnmilitia.com http://www.mnmilitia.com/index.php?page_id=37 - ME http://www.mnmilitia.com/forums/ - Our Forum |
