Just played yesterday. I have an A-5 with a R/T and when I hooked up my HPA to the gun and pulled the trigger the gun just took off. Pulled the gun apart and looked at all o-rings and they looked great.

Hook up a different tank and had the same issue. Then I switched the R/T with an e-trigger thinking it was in the trigger and hooked up yet a different tank and still have the same results pull the trigger and the gun just unloads and chops paint.

What could be the cause of this issue?

Could be the sear or bolt are worn and not catching. A couple of questions; How old is the marker/how much has it been used? Do you have any other mods than the RT?
