my a5 suffers from the "no velocity" syndrome and Ive tried everything including new o-rings, polished internals,new barrel, the tube is good.....I love it and have put A-LOT of money into it but it just wont pop. I get 220 max(I am on co2 ) HPA is next but i cant see it bringing 70 fps.. Im about to sell it and get a rail....any last suggestions? ------------- Hey kid... what happened to your gun..? |

Have you been leaving it cocked? That could wear out the drive spring, which would result in low velocity.

New springs, a good oiling and ensure the stock velocity adjuster is
turned out no more than 4 turns would be my initial suggestions. Any more specific help/suggestions would require a detailed listing of upgrades/modifications. P.S. We do have a section called "Gun Maintenance and Repair" which would have been the appropriate place for this question. -------------

CO2 in freezing temperatures could be a problem. 1. Springs. If that doesn't work, 2. HPA. It will work. -------------

Need more information. Are you trying to play in cold weather with co2? If not, what is your exact gun setup? Do you hear any leaks anywhere on the gun?
