i use an A-5, so it's impossible to jam or outshoot. what do you mean the feed neck is stuck, i don't think i'm understanding this right, do you mean from inside your e-hopper? or inside the marker itself?

Inside the marker itself, I took it apart several times to get a feel for the inner workings, put it back together fine. I took it apart a few weeks ago and put the ball stopper in backwards, and because of this the gun would not work correctly. So I once again took it apart, fixed the ball stopper, and now the gun shoots just fine.

NOW, what I'm talking about is where the feed neck for the gun attaches. Inside there is a piece of metal that acts as a spring, so you can use the lever to attach and detach the feed neck. If that little piece of metal gets bent or moves or ANYTHING while you're putting the other side of the gun back on it will fuck up and not work.

By not work I mean one of these two things.

1. The piece of metal gets jammed between the lever, and both sides of the frame, and the feed neck will stay STUCK forever unless you take the gun apart, this is the better of the two.

2. The piece of metal breaks loose and sits inside the frame jammed against the lever and when you try to attach the feed neck it's just too loose. This sucks because now I HAVE to take it apart in order to attach a hopper.

This little piece of bent metal has about less than a millimeter of space to stay put, and any movement makes it pop out. makes me rage hard, considering super gluing the lower half of it so it won't move, but the top will still work. If all else fails, the feed neck will have to be perma installed.

Holy fuck that's a wall of text.

what you mean by outshoot?

outshooting is pulling the trigger faster than the balls falling into the chamber, which leads to dry firing, or breaking paint that hasen't fully dropped into the chamber. this doesn't happen with an A-5.

that used to happen to my friend's cheap ass paintball gun a while back. after he got a better one, he machined his old one a little to try and make it better. he used a drummel to grind down some places and let the thing feed quicker, and also made a few small changes to allow it to fire at a slightly higher pressure.

result was a fire rate (semi-auto) almost as fast as his new (fully-auto) gun, and fucking incredible range

this is what my feed looks like, doesn't need a e-hopper or anything special, never jams, never dry fires.

did i mention his was cheap as shit? i'm not sure there was any type of dedicated feed mechanism. the paintballs fell through a hole into the barrel after every trigger pull (a small metal flap was pulled back by the trigger directly after discharging the shot)

99% of guns are like that, from the $20 ones to thr $2000 ones. The A-5 was the first to use the cyclone feed system, the only thing that sucks is that it's a huge target on the side of your gun, or if you're left handed i guess.

don't take your marker apart when you have no idea what you're doing.

ya I know, just the way you worded it I thought you meant like BPS. 95% of people call it chopping.

lesson 1, don't paint your gun green

lesson 1, don't paint your gun green

of course not! you paint it red.

the orks know that if you paint stuff red they're faster
