Newb questions here

I tried to adjust the velocity on my A5 and the test meter reports between 230 to 270 regardless how far I loosen or tighten the velocity adjust screw. I have a flatline installed also. Only 2nd time I've played with the brand new gun.

What is the recommended velocity for a A5 with flatline barrel?

Last but not least how often to clean? I suspect it depends on the quality of paint.....and is disassembling the gun required for cleaning or only if there are problems persist (example misfires..etc).

Advice appreciated,
Meerkat

a lot of fields set velocities at 285.. so around that range, i wouldnt go any higher than that

For a flatline, youll want a velocity around 270-280. Going higher usually just makes the shot trajectory erratic.

Info about cleaning is in the owners manual. If you dont have one for whatever reason, you can download a copy from the Tippmann website.
