tippmann A5

[piglet]

does the A5 not have a device to hold the ball back in the barrel once it has been fed in by the cyclone ?
my paintballs are dropping out once fed into the ( gas chamber ) not all though

Hi piglet! There is a small rubber blade that holds the ball in place! Its an orange color normally. You should be able to get them locally from one of the paintball shops & you have to open the marker totally to get to it! I have a few here but i am in the Cape! If you don't come right i can post you one? Let me know?

[piglet]

thanks will let you know
does it come standard in the gun because i have'nt had this problem before

[Lian]

this is the part you're looking for:


it's called a "detent", that keeps the balls from rolling out. it's easily lost when opening the marker, be careful of it.
there's also bee incidents where it was shot out, due to excessive pressure/velocity.

thanks guys !!
looks like it fits in the hole above the grip
will hunt one down

[Lian]

erm, it'll fit right below/next the feed tube, right infront of the barrel.
ball must enter the chamber and not move at all.

Make sure you install it the right way around, the up part is towards the muzzle.

It could be the cyclone not feeding correctly.
