I have a 45/3000 HPA tank that I haven't used yet. When I attached it to my A-5 I shot it dry once(with out paint) then unscrewed and put everything away. When I bought it I did not get it filled as his tank was low and I don't plan to play for a little bit. My concern is that when I mounted my G36c Folding Stock to make sure that it would not rub against the tank it sounded like air was coming out of the barrel. Is that normal, I figured it was(due to the tank being so low) but I don't want to get to my next game fill up my tank and be screwed. Thanks for any help |

Was your marker cocked when you heard the sound? If not, that is the problem. The rear hammer on a Tippmann sits on the valve pin thus releasing air when the marker is aired up but not cocked. Pull the cocking lever back, I bet it fixes your problem.

Thanks Snake that makes sense when I cocked it the sound stopped I fired but I don't think there was enough air to re-cock the gun so it just bled out. I guess I will find out Wednesday :) |
