Hello,

I run a Tippmann A5 with WAS. While playing today, I spotted two other guys from the other team. And when I went to shoot in response mode, only a few balls came out after several pulls of my trigger and many dryfires, and consequently, I got lit up. After the match, I checked it out. The cyclone cycles perfectly WITHOUT paint. But with paint added, my problem occurs. Help me out PBR.

How old is the A-5? Check the internals of the cyclone for ANY signs of scratches or anything. Your ratchet might be about to break...

I fixed it. Turns out that the bango fitting screws weren't adjusted right. Thanks for the tip though.

I was going to suggest that and checking the hose for leaks and the piston oring for wear.
That is exactly what happens with a loss in pressure to the cyclone.
