| Alright I was shooting my A-5, and I knew I was running low on CO2. I guess when the tank got empty or close to it, my gun, after I pulled the trigger, started shooting/acting like a full auto. I dont have an e-trigger, and no ups, but this just got me concerned, and my brothers 98c pro did the exact same thing too. Is this just the gun running out of CO2 or what? |

It's just the marker running out of CO2. What happens is that there is still enough pressure topush the bolt back after firing, but not enough to push it all the way back to where it catches the sear. Since the bolt doesn't catch on the sear, it flys forward again, hitting the valve and causing another shot, which repeats this cycle. This will continue until the tank is empty.

Just the tank running out of air. You can probably cock it a few more times before it won't put any more air out. |
