Ok. I have a brand new A-5 E grip.. has never had a paintball fired through it. Something is seriously wrong with the trigger situation on it.. it basically does not fire half the time. I have tried it with Air and also dry firing.. it will fire auto for a few secs then go dead.. and then a few faint triggers again etc then dead.. However u can usually still hear the faint clicks of the electronics working.. but no actual cycling of the gun etc. 1- I replaced the battery it came with with a brand new Energizer. 2- the electronics seem to be working fine.. however the trigger mechanism does not seem to be working correctly.. and it's not cycling the gun ( that's the issue). Please watch this video of the problem it's a dry fire video of it.. no air or paintball.. U can hear it cycle once and then just the small clicks and then none at all etc. http://media.putfile.com/A-5-E-trigger-issues - http://media.putfile.com/A-5-E-trigger-issues
after watching this.. can anyone tell me what they think the problem is?
What can I do? frustrated it's a brand new A-5....... |

I understand your frustrated but yes even Tippmanns can have problems. First of all I would call in and report it to tippmann, the sooner u call the sooner its fixed, if u can't get ahold of tippmann for sopme unkown reason call your local paintball shop and ask them. Honestly Im not too familier with the E-grip but maybe something with timing or just a wire not fully connect or somethin like that.

just an update. I took a road trip to the Tippmann factory in Ft. Wayne Indiana this am. it's about a hrs drive for me. These guys and ladies are the best. great looking building and great service. Service guy came upfront I told him the problem.. and he took it back and fixed the issue (replaced the board and a few things) even fixed my bad screws issue) took all of 10 mins. great service. |

yes, they have great service. And i'm sure they did add the WAS board. the new e-grips are now coming with them pre-installed. My friend had a problem with his 1 1/2 old e-grip, he sent it in and they gave him a brand new e-grip with the WAS board inside . ------------- what? |
