How to Pro Tune your Tippmann A-5 +/- 3fps!

I've been using the Tippmann A-5 since I started, and over the years I have learned a bunch of tips and tricks for getting the best possible performance out of a Tippmann blowback! 

I have a lot of these markers, and when people borrow mine, after using theirs, they always ask me why mine work so much better than theirs does... So I made this video to show them how I "Pro Tune" a Tippmann A-5. 

It is really very easy, and this video was designed so you can sit down with your A-5 and your tablet, or pc and I will tear it down mine, and you can tear down yours at the same time, and do the typical maintenance that I do on my markers every 40 or 50 games. You will need some high end O-rings (you can get them cheap on ebay for buna, but I prefer Silicone, they are just harder to find). 

And then where to polish the internals to yield the highest performance possible. 

I prefer Co2, as I am using that in this video, and you can see it is getting +/-3 fps between each shot! I also use a remote line, as that acts as an expansion chamber to level out the gas before you fire. Other than those changes, this is a bone stock Tippmann A-5. 

Here is the maintenance video. It is almost 30 minutes long, but it will show you how to get performance like you see in my videos with YOUR Tippmann A-5!
