First of all, my A-5 has an E-grip and I have added an exp. chamber along with many other modifications. The problem is that the gun will "burp" almost every shot. By this I mean that when I pull the trigger in any firing mode, it only fires one paintball, but an almost continuous stream of C02 follows it. It is VERY loud when it does this. The stream of C02 that follows the paintball is faster than my full auto, and it approximately would be the equivelant to 5-6 shots on fully auto fire. When I fire the gun uncocked, the "ticks" from the E-grip are very consistent, so I don't think that is the problem. I've sent it to Tippmann one time already, and they sent it back it worked for a while, then it broke again.  I think that the problem is in the Powertube. I am considering buying a D.O.P Pro Seal to try and fix the problem, I've read reviews that you need polished internals with the Pro Seal, what exactly is polished internals? Also, do you guys think that the problem is in the Powertube? Thanks in advance, -Phil |

| could be in the valve, could be in the x-chamber. try it w/out the x chamber and see if that works. if it doesnt, ask a friend or someone to borrow their powrtube and see if that works. |

Polishing your internals is done by sanding off all the over-spray on the inside of your receivers. Over-spray is what happens when Tippmann paints the gun, they get paint in the receivers. Once the paint is removed, use some polish (Mother's Mag) and make the insides nice and shiny.

| I have the same problem....the first time it happened i took my gun apart and the powertube was cracked. so i replaced it with another stock powertube, but that didnt fix the problem, so i ordered an o-ring kit and replaced all of those and that didnt work either. so i ordered a new valve and that still didnt work |
