Tippmann A-5

[Sportz157]

Hey, i just bought my tippmann A-5 and have a couple questions regarding it. First of all i think its important for me to state that im running CO2, second that i have a stock barrel, and third that i am using cheap paint, Brass Eagle to be exact, im just using it because its just practice paint, my local place makes you buy there stuff. Well, anyway, I seem to be chopping an abnormal amount of balls, i loaded just enough into the cyclone feeder and removed the hopper to see whats going on, when i pull the trigger the cyclone feeder doesnt load a ball, the ball just kinda hops out, but i found out that if you have a full tank of CO2 this doesnt happen, its like there isnt enough CO2 making it there, or maybe i dont have enough balls in there to put pressure to feed, or maybe its just because im using chep paint and a stock barrel and low CO2, ne help? are these suggestions possibilies?
thanks,
NIck:confused:

the stock barrel and hte kind of paint you are using has nothing to do with it i dont think the co2 does either try it with a full hopper

Ok, i thought that might be the problem, i will let you know when i get a chance to put in enough paint for a full hopper.
Nick,

Do not let Brass Eagle ruin your gun! the paint is crap! and you said it is for practice? the only practic you will have with bass eagle paint is cleaning your barrel. once again STAY AWAY FROM BRASS EAGLE PAINT! if you got 7 bucks and you are thinking about buying 200 rounds of paint at K-mart, save up a few more and get some rps premium.

no matter how crappy the paint is it has nothing to do with his problem and i went through half a case of brass eagle and not one broke i think it is fine to practice with considering it is about $10 cheaper than decent paint but let me know what happens
