just bought my First Tippmann A-5. This is the first tippmann I have ever had. I love it.

The problem I have is when i shoot every time i Pull the trigger exess CO2 comes out the barrel and trigger. Its not leaking, no hissing.

Also when ever I tighten the rear alen screws to tight the A-5 cocks but doesnt fire unless I loosen them a little. Just wondering if anyone else has had that hapen to them.

If you tighten the reciever halfs too much you can stop the hammer from moving. You don't need to over-do it, just make sure they are snug together.

Co2 can escape from the gun for several reasons. If your firing fast (especially in a colder area) then it just isn't getting enough time to expand. Normally this causes small sowflakes to come out the barrel. If however it looks like a clear cloud of air, then it isn't a big deal and is completely normal.
