A5 not firing constistantly!!!

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I just recently aquired my first A5 and seem to be having a problem. First of the gun has an egrip with was board, techt cyclone upgrade and a Rap4 powertube. I took it out today for the first time, using co2 by the way, and it fired about 25 rounds perfectly then quit shooting. I could hear the grip clicking every time I pulled the trigger but nothing. I tried recocking it a couple of times and every once in a while it would shoot one time then nothing. I noticed if I tapped the top of the gun with my palm as I was pulling the trigger it would cause it to shoot, not every time, and then again nothing. It was about 70 degrees outside, and I pulled the gun apart twice and cleaned and oiled everything, both times I aired it back up same results. Anyone have an idea where I need to begin with troubleshooting this thing?

	Not a big fan of aftermarket powertubes because they are often the culprit of gun issues. If it is the only internal that is not stock, I would consider buying a new stock one and putting it in. Edited by oldpbnoob - 24 May 2009 at 8:55pm
