Tippmann A5 Velocity problems

[Kushty]

Hello, so I traded my old gun for this a Tippmann A5 with all these mods as I wanted a woodsball gun really -

(that was the guys video who sold it to me, make sure annotations are on)

Anyway, I went to use it as I haven't played paintball in over a year and it's shooting at about 200? I was never a tech guy but the balls where just flopping and the marshal made me use a 98 custom, oh the joys.

Anyone the a solution to this as I want to sell it ?

Thank

The easiest way would be to get a tippmann tech to service it. Or a player with good tippmann knowledge.
LIPS, BZ paintball, JustPaintball all do a service option I believe.
Some of the larger paintball sites might also do the same (or send them off) EG: mayhem or NPF.
But this option obviously would cost (not sure how much though)
Could be that there is a seal(o-ring) gone or the velocity screw is too far in or the bolt is sticking.
Hope this helps a bit!

Alright thank you I'll see how much it is to get it serviced. Cheers

tbh m8y, i'm no expert so don't take what i say as gospel but... i have known people to have regulators inside the mag. i would check this as it might be the case and i have heard A5's don't like regulators as there is a lot on the A5 that runs off gas.
