Before i call Tippmann Service, I was wondering if anyone could shed a little light on what might be going on.
I took my new, out of the box A-5 to the field today, and had a few games with it. At first it was shooting alright, but after about 200 to 300 shots through it it started doublfireing and making that machine gun action you get if your running out of air, only I was completely full and well over 1800psi in my tank.
It just got worse and worse over the next game, to the point that it wouldnt evan shoot anymore, just make that noise/action of the hammer not catching.
It wasnt shooting multiple balls or missfeeding, it was more or less like the rear bolt wasnt quite catching sometimes and would go back and forth 2 or 3 times before it did, then was ready again.
If anyone has any ideas of what i should check and look at, then let me know.. I like the gun very much when it was working, but was very disapointed to see it out of the box not work after the 200 shots
