How do I fix a Tippmann A-5 Leak?

Question

Well a couple of days ago i bought a tippmann a-5 and i took it paintballing, it worked great, i have a remote coil for it and it went the whole day without any problems. Today when i got home from my friends house i screwed my CO2 tank in to take a couple of shots, with the remote line hooked up i hear the CO2 go into the tank but then the CO2 just went straight through. it was coming right out from what sounded like the barrel it could have been the gas line. I was thinking it could be the small O-ring in the tip of the gas line to the gun but i dont know and dont want to take it apart. What could it be? I read online that it could be the valve or a valve but i dont know what this is referring to. I'm thinking Im going to take it to a store near me (6 miles, no car) to see if they can fix it but i want to know if it is serious or a really bad repair. and about how much would or should the repair run me? thanks a lot for your co-op, George.

Answer 1

Sounds like an O-ring needs replaced. O-rings are usually less than fifty cents each. Total repair should be less than ten bucks.

Answer 2

oh ****.. man if u didnt fix the problem with oil it sound like ur valve might be screwed or ur power tube.. this happend to my 98 cstom, u might have to take it to a shop, but since u just bought it return it please sace urself sum trouble, but get another one, these guns are real good
