Hey.

I have a problem. I have just bought a TIPPMANN A5, and the balls break almost all the time.
Does anybody know what I'll have to do? I use KILLABEEZ.

Thanks

turn down your velocity

**JeSTeR_1269** · April 19th, 07:53 AM

try different paint. The A5 is a blender anyway.

**the_real_kaz** · April 20th, 05:33 PM

I've seen an A-5 being a blender. Your velocity is probbly to high and your using poor paint.

TechT squishy paddles might help

bad paint barrel match perhaps

**the_real_kaz** · April 21st, 09:44 PM

Usually the only time an A-5 blends is when the paint is really bad and the person has never chronoed it. The squishy paddles i've thought of as a waste of an upgrade.

**kenny_1491** · April 21st, 09:45 PM

Not at all, they fix your cyclones problems and increase it's ROF from what I have read on reviews of them. If it's TechT more then likely it is gonna be legit.

**the_real_kaz** · April 21st, 09:57 PM

yes... but when do you shoot faster than 18 bps anyway? Cause thats about where it maxes out with stock cyclone.

**kenny_1491** · April 21st, 10:04 PM

I thight it was around 13-15, sure it's that high?

**the_real_kaz** · April 21st, 10:51 PM

I'm pretty sure... I've seen an E-griped A-5 that had a sear go bad in it and that thing was shooting as fast as the marker could cycle (because the sear quit catching) and the cyclone was keeping right up. It was pretty crazy actually. It had to be up around 18 bps.

***TheAznInvazn*** · April 24th, 06:45 PM

well, with ALL the TechT upgrades, you can apparently reach 23 bps (Q.E.P.H. with all that good stuff)

just a suggestion on the squishy paddles anyways, not a bog fan of Tippmanns, and I hear good things bout them.

buy squishy paddles, better paint and maybe a new barrel and turn ur velocity down

**kenny_1491** · April 30th, 03:53 PM

Squishy paddles are supposed to completely kill the paint chopping problem so if I had one I'd buy them right away. problem.

get an electric hopper might be a good idea

Since when do they make electric loaders for the A5?

Just incase you're unfamiliar with how the A5 works...

Garbage.

HA!!!!!!!!!! wow,

but seriously my friend had this same problem with his, he had pretty much every upgrade you can get for the internals of it, heres what was going on

the cyclone has an anti-reverse bar under it so the paint cant go back into the feeder once its loaded, his was loose allowing the paint to catch the side of the breach as it went by, there was a small burr on the barrel addapter scratching the paint, and the paint was not the best quality, the cyclone feed puts a lot of force on the paint even with the squishy paddels (yes he had those too, but im not saying they are bad or anything) so you have to make sure and shoot good paint through it.

**JeSTeR_1269** · April 30th, 05:14 PM

Ok, now I'll let it go.

***Trbo323*** · April 30th, 05:41 PM

AHAHAHAAHAHA wow jester that was hilarious, i didnt quite see what that was for a moment, and i was thinking, "no way someone acually came out with some electric contraption for the cyclone feed, what is the porpose in that?" then i saw the dvd rewinder on the side, classic man, classic

i do think however that post should be pasted into the funniest noob comments thred
