I have an A5 w/ an e-grip. Two weeks ago i polished my internals. It worked fine when i tested it. Now our fill station CO2 tank is too low to fill some tanks and i can't properly test my gun.

It's shooting 3-4 times for each pull of the trigger on an almost empty tank. My E-grip is set on turbo, not burst. Do A5s shoot like this before they are actually out of CO2? It wasn't like this before, right after i polished the internals.

Please assure my my gun isn't malfunctioning already, it's not even a month old.

ok do you have any trigger mods? other than e-grip!!i put a jcs dbl trigger in mine and it would do that.so to solve it i took the dbl trigger out and put the internals from my stock trigger in my egrip frame so now i can use regular trig or egrip!!! and no more skips!!!!check your sear and see how wore down it is the egrip will wear it out pretty quick try putting your stock sear in your e-grip...didn't work for me but that's what my pro shop suggested..good luck!

you may have polished too much but tahts weird it workd fine during testing...try getting the tank filled when you can and if it doesnt work orrectly then call tippmann tech.

How empty is the tank? When tanks are very low it doesn't have enough air to push the hammer all the way back so it bounces and shoot more than once. If you have ever heard someone run out of air its an uncontrollable full auto for a about 6 seconds, than if they pull the bolt back and try again its the same effect but for less time.

Get a full tank and test it and you shouldn't have any problems.
