Hey, well I have a tippmann a-5 and have a velociti issue.I cannot adjust it at all, its been like this the entire time ive had it, all i did was put in a madman spring kit so atleast even though i couldnt adjust it, it would be at around 280 fps.Also does anyone have any idea how to stop my gun from going to say 280 to 220 at the end of the game, I shoot maybe a hopper or a little more per game and it drops drastically, full tank and it was around 65 degrees.

Just to start at the beginning...

You are adjusting the velocity screw, the little allen wrench dealy next to the Cyclone on the right side of the gun?

And what was the velocity before you switched springs?  And what upgrades do you have on the gun?  What is your air source?  How old is the gun, and is this a recent issue?

yes im adjusting that screw with the little allen key lol.The gun has only been used 4 game days,It was about 230-240 before I put the red spring in from the maddmann spring kit.I run co2, but it was 65 degrees out and I dont dump paint, no rt or egrip so I use maybe a full hopper per half an hour game.which is maybe 150 balls.This has been an issue since I first chronoed it.

Fouled power-tube? Also, do you have a stock on it? What are your thoughts Clark?

You are supposed to adjust the velocity with the medium size allen wrench, not the small one.

whatever, an allen key in general is small, I was referring to the allen key in general...
No stock on it, only a lapco bigshot or flatline with an expansion chamber by tippmann, also ricochet r-5 hopper.
Does anyone also know how to fix the very loud CHANGGG sound when I shoot my gun? it sounds like it is coming from the asa somewhere, towards the tank.

Thank you very much.
