I own a tippmann A-5 and i have had it for about a month. I bought it with a response trigger on it and i also upgraded with a flatline. The first time i ever used my gun it was workign fine and the second time as well. but on the third time it randomly starts to stutter and only shoot about 4-5 air shots. It does recock and i can use single shot fine but not full auto. how can i get it to work?

Both the Cyclone and Response Trigger operate off of excess blowback gasses. Typically as your tank gets low the cyclone will be the first thing to stop working. Best bet is to make sure you have a full tank. If your tank is full and the cyclone isnt feeding, make sure the lines aren't obstructed. You will also have to adjust the RT from time to time.

Have you adjusted the RT? Have you changed anything from the first couple of times you played until now? Have you disassembled the marker and cleaned it? Any other upgrades? If it is working on single shot, but just not RTing, you will need to readjust it.
