How to Fix a Tippmann A5 That Sputters

By Society & Culture & Entertainment Last updated Tuesday, June/04/2024

1). Check to see if the air source that is being used is full. HPA air tanks come equipped with a gauge to determine the amount of pressure left in the tank. CO2 tanks do not have a pressure gauge. To determine if there is air left in a CO2 tank, slowly screw the CO2 tank onto the paintball gun. If it hisses loudly, there is CO2 in the tank. Otherwise, it is empty and should be refilled by a professional.
2). Check the o-ring on the top of the air tank. An o-ring is a flexible doughnut-shaped ring that fits around the valve of the air tank. If there are cracks or pieces of rubber missing, the tank will not correctly attach to the paintball marker. Pull it off the tank and put a new one in its place.
3). Adjust the regulator on the paintball gun according to manufacturer's directions. If the pressure is too low, the proper amount of CO2 or compressed air will not enter the paintball marker. Consult the manufacturer's directions of the aftermarket regulator for these adjustments.
