Wrong section. We need a bit more info as to what's wrong. Could be out of air... there would still be pressure going through, just not enough to shoot the thing. Out of batteries? ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

do you have something in upside down then? My tombstone doesnt come close to my cocking handle. Its on the bottom and the cocker is on the top. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

I dunno I have never had my tombstone get near anything else but my power tube. Take it to a pro shop and see if they can help you out. It could even be an oring in the guns internals. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

ive never used an A5 but if i was to put money on it i would say your front bolt is in backwards... take the shell off and take a pic of the guts we will be able to see if its together right. ------------- saving the world, one warship at a time. |

Time to take it apart again... I wonder if the power tube is in sideways or
upside down. The power tube needs to be put in so that the power tube's "slot" for the tombstone lines up with the tombstone "hole" in the left and right recievers. When you put it all together and look into the tombstone hole do you see the little traslucent ORing (sits in the little recessed end of the valve assmebly inside the power tube). If you cannot see this oring (part 27 in this diagram: http://www.a5og.net/5-tech-help/239- tippmann-5-parts-list-diagram.html ) then you have either put the power tube in wrong or you have pushed to hard on the rear-bolt or the valve and have forced the oring out. In this case there should be an ORing and a silver washer floating in the powertube and maybe other bits of the valve assembly. D. |
