How a Tippmann A5 Works
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- This is an animation video of how a Tippmann A5 paintball marker operates internally. The X7 blowback, 98 Custom, Alpha Black, Project Salvo, and Carver One are all similarly designed and can use this illustration.
I hope it provides a foundation for a basic understanding of the marker. I'll be using this as a starting point to help newcomers understand tests that I have conducted involving the marker. - Спорт

I'm in the process of trying design my own marker as a personal project and this was very helpful
The sear is key in all semi autos to full autos.
The problems are always Timely municitions delevery.
Pop filed the sear on an old marlin 22.
Bent more bullets than it fired.
Now i understand why it auto-sputters when its low on gas. There isn't enough pressure to drive the hammer back far enough to catch on the latch, so it just bounces back and forth on the spring hitting the valve pin over and over.
yup
@ninja6kid Could be anything. From the pushpins keeping the hammer from flying back and hitting the mask, to the tombstone preventing the air from whipping around, to the quality of the receiver halves which may just fracture and send internals flying. No way to know until its exposed to it and it may vary from marker to marker.
@theTicklemehellmo The easiest way is by getting an e-grip but a less conventional method is by reducing the amount of trigger pull. TechT has a Hair Pin kit for Tippmann's. If you use the wrong size, your marker won't catch on the sear and it will go full auto. If you use one that is just below that and are able to hold the trigger juuuust right, you can utilize the mechanical bounce from the marker to trip the sear. When done shooting, let go. I had to explain this concept to a ref once..
I wish I had better memory so I could watch one video and remember it all lol.
@MrBoatman95 That would be any marker that can shoot First Strike rounds. FSR are pretty expensive, though.
So if you were to increase the size of that chamber where air enters, you could create bigger pressure? Combine that with a long barrel and technically you have a sniper?
verry cool
If the sear didn't slide back when the hammer moves forward.....couldn't that make the gun full auto?
+RPC225 Full auto that couldn't be stopped until the gas ran out. You have to fully connect the trigger to the sear so that when you hold the trigger, the sear can't reset, but when you let go of the trigger, the sear would reset. I would guess that this would only set off a ton of other problems to overcome, such as ball feed speeds, etc. Also, I don't think you would be able to use it on many PB fields.
+Christopher Mueller (Editdroid) actually I tried it on my old project salvo and it worked...shot really fast but it had full auto...I have a vid on my Chanel about it
i was thinking the same thing. do you know aprox how many bps?
and was is difficult?
+Andy Bourgon no...all I did was put a pin in the gap of the sear...prob too fast for any hopper to keep up
Thank you
can you explain something for me?
i need further explination of that part where you changed it over to those 2 lines at around 3:30. i don't quite understand that part.
what is the best paintball gun??? (meaning wich gun is the most accurate, go the farthest, and hurts most when shot.)
Breaks paint and jams casually
@PernellDD I have owned the alpha black, i hated it ! ..There are barely ANY upgrades ! and it weights 1000000 lbs
Is the Bottle Empty?
is air suppose to leak down barrel when the gun is not cocked?
Neil Sirius kskk
Start at the Air Tank ;)
@ionizdgrunt2 Did you get the A-5? :D
can you do it on a ion marker
Can you make one for Tippmann 68. carbine?? :-)
Como se yama el programa este porfabor deyadme un mensaje pribado en mi canal muchas gracias
I wnt buy
Incredibly well made and narrated. I opened up my marker and was able to figure out how things worked. Now, having this visual reference to demonstrate the firing sequence to others is fantastic.
A huge thank you for the painstaking diagram conversion to Flash.
Christian Platt , ျမနၤမာနိငၤင'😅😠
As a mechanical engineering student, this was beautiful to watch
WUAU!!!. Really nice animation. thank you very much for your clear explanation.
I remember the first time I opened my 98 and all the springs flew out everywhere, lol bad news, then 2 years after owning it the salve and hose leaked.
so.... basically an open-bolt submachinegun, but instead of the firing pin on the bolt hitting the primer, the hammer hits a 'firing pin' that opens a valve, expelling a measure of propellant gas until the blowback gas resets the bolt, simultaneously shutting off the gas.
neat.
Excellent video. It's a shame that more people can't do videos like these.
Very well made, and explained! This should go to a TV documentary, for it has enough quality. I wish that someday a similar work will come up explaining with this detail level, how a gas and a Co2 blow back and non blow back 1911, P-08, M-712 C-96, works...
Hi Lord Odin, I remember you from the A5OG forum days :) We now have a growing Facebook group and you should drop by:
facebook.com/groups/1524792207743469/
I'm 'Johnski English', hopefully speak to you there
Top video and narration. Hands down . Period thanks boss . Feel way comfortable opening up my markern fixing itself
Hello
i have one question
my Tippman works perfekt
but now i want use smaller balls (bullets)
and i built a reduction in the gun barrel
but now with the reduction i loose all the Power from the painter
why is it so
and how can i use the full power with the smaller gun barrel?
If you shot somebody at the wrong place. At point blank range. It can actually kill
Exactly what I was looking for, thank you :)
Very nice video. Though a legend would have been nice what the different colored objects are named
If that pink part didnt have an oval shaped hole, it would be full auto. Right??
I would like to see this animation using techTs blowforward -blow back upgrade
ONE THING I DONT FUKIN UNDERSTAND: IF THE GAS RESETS THE HAMMER, WHY DONT THEY MAKE THE TRIGGER SO THAT IT HOLDS THE SEAR DOWN AND THE MARKER KEEPS SHOOTING IN AUTO FIRE? WHY DO WE HAVE TO FUKN WASTE 100 DOLLARS ON AN EGRIP + BATTERY COSTS WHEN A SIMPLE 2MM PIECE OF PLASTIC WOULD MAKE UR MARKER FIRE IN AUTO FIRE??
Could someone explain what the *tombstone* is? What does it do, why is it needed?
so....I have an Air Ordnance smg .22 (Air Ordnance is the same owner of Tippmann). I'm assuming that gun works the same way as one of these Tippmann paint ball markers? as it has the a similar exterior as this and I believe it works in a similar way. would be interesting if someone made a video explaining exactly how that gun fires.
Should use arrows to determine which area he is explaining
Very interesting and helpful video!
Just sold my A5, but it's still nice to know how the internals work, in case a buddy who has one runs into trouble.
@M0RTaLK0MBaT68 You got it. The sole purpose of the blowback gas is to make a single-fire marker semi-automatic.
@MASTERMARK360 The only difference is the trigger/sear interaction. The trigger will hit a microswitch, which causes the armature pin to push up the sear. From there, the mechanics are the same.
What happens if the power tube is cracked?
I wonder how airsoft LMG box mags work
Where ist " How a First strike FSC " Works ?
Can any new youtubers can't get the fact that putting your mic so close to the mic makes a very irritating sound
@xxitzfamousxx It is a lot to remember. If you look closely, each part has a colored bloom effect when it is mentioned the first time to draw attention to it. After that, it referred to only by name. Try expanding the video to more clearly see what I'm referring to. Hope that helps.
Thx Man! Simple as a 2-stroke engine.
Hello Lord Odin Presents. Before i get to my Question, I would just like to say thank you for posting the "How a Tippmann A5 Works" Video. It was an amazing way for me to understand my own A5 on a more mechanical level.Now, I converted my A5 to a magfed Tacamo Vortex. But in doing so, I had MULTIPLE issues getting my marker to work properly. My gun would Double/Triple fire, then suddenly de-gas, forcing me to recock the handle after a few trigger pulls. I even replaced the trigger sear, but it didn't change anything. I converted my gun back to the A5, and it suddenly works again, no problems... My observation of the Vortex compared to the A5, is that on the vortex my buttstock is wobbly. Secondly, i have pretty bad power tube plugs on the side of the vortex marker. I would just like to know which do you think is the problem? Do you think, because of the wobbly buttstock, the spring guide rod would prevent the hammer from fully reaching my trigger sear? Or do you think i'm getting a lack of gas due to bad Power Tube Plugs?..
beautifully explained! i know how to service my guns but knowing exactly how everything works in unison really helps with troubleshooting
@jeanlucncoelho
because the rate of fire would not be controllable. your a5 will shoot at uncapped speeds, depending on your set up, about 20 to 30 bps. u would not be allowed to play with it on most fields.
This guh live in us? Cuz odin makes, a random 4 year old I found at the bookstore, this guy, and me are the only people I know named odin, and I friggin seafch for em
does any one know if they make a conversion kit to make the A5 a mag fed marker. and is it possible to make the adapter the reverse way to where your using either the 12 gram cartridge or the 16 gram
Nice video. Still wondering why many markers rely on electronics to achieve full auto. Guessing it's the least invasive way, but still annoying your firing controls depend on the reliability of a 9v battery.
เนี้ย ไง กลไก ปืนแก๊ช แบบ ประนีพ
How to balance between hammer's spring compresion and source air compression? Thank you
hey i just bought a project salvo! trigger does not push sear high enough to release the bolt ?! the pins seem very loose int he holes and there is a small pin behind the trigger welded to the body the trigger hits this pin (close to rt hole) and is not shown int he illustration or in any video i watch should i remove this little piece of metal? it seem to be the cause of the trigger stopping premature to the sear releasing the bolt. even stops before the trigger stop pin is contacted! plz help
What’s the purple thing called
Got a box of old markers and someone said they were similar to this design. Thanks for the info!
Super clear and precisely explained. Excellent!
@LordOdin2008
hey for the tippmann a5 do you recommend compressed air or co2?
from what ive read, compressed air is better exept that it is cheaper
also,what compressed air tank brand would you recommend?
This guy is right on the ball. ive open up my alpha black about 8 times looks exactly like this trust me. if you are going to open up your tippmann marker, PLEASE for your sake, LOOK UP A UA-cam VIDEO BEFORE YOU SCREW SOMETHING UP. This is said so you know what your doing so you dont mess anything up. i learned this the hard way.
good info but i wish u could point to what you were talking about on some of the things because i got lost on some parts
thank you for telling me how it works ive been wondering for awhile now.
@LordOdin2008 Ive seen his video and the reason Im looking for another option is because I feel as though that the gun would be more efficient if you could close block the gas from getting out at all. Thanks for the help though, I appreciate it.
@ninja6kid A lighter spring would release more volume up to a certain point where the ball exits before the valve is done releasing air.
As far as the high pressure of 1500+ psi, I wouldn't try it for safety reasons. Markers are only designed to function in certain pressure ranges and that's way too high.
@ionizdgrunt2 The cyclone is powered by excess air. It feeds 15 balls per second. It looks like you need to push it, because you CAN push it. It is useful.
@Tannk42 That might be a lot tougher to pull off. It would probably require a valve pin that is nearly the same diameter as the valve hole. Replacing the valve pin would be easier than replacing the valve itself. Right now, the pin has a thicker block and then gets narrow, allowing air to pass. If it were thick throughout (like a pole) then it would block most of the air. The problem would be replacing the pin or having one custom made.
@xxitzfamousxx Can you please do a video on how a stacked (non in-line ) blowback system works, I have 2 guns that work on that system and it would be really nice to see how they work. (JT stealth and Sypder MR1) Thanks
@Tannk42 One method that I've heard of is to remove the o-ring off of the hammer. Since I've never tried it myself, you should try asking KRA_Sharpshooter. He has a channel on UA-cam as well. He did a shotgun mod and it doesn't reset the hammer.
WOW it takes 4 minutes to explain. BUT only 1/20 of a second to be put into action!
@Thatmakessense356 Yup. There are several reasons why this can happen but this commonly occurs when the tank's gas supply runs too low and can't reset the hammer fully.
pretty nice, never had tippmanns until now, I just got an alpha blac with e grip and cyclone, now... what are the best mods for this marker? I was told to get the cyclone upgrade kit, the zero kick hammer, aluminum power tube with delrin bolt and the APE board.... do you have any imput on all this upgrades?
Very cool... But since you already animated it in slow motion, you should show everything working quickly too. It would be really cool to watch.
@LordOdin2008 Thanks a lot, the marker is stock so no reg, do you recomend using a regulator? I am going to run hpa.
If I remove the seer, connect air, then pop back the hammer will the gun go full auto until I shut off air?
yeah, someone om here did it
absolutely brilliant animation, thank you for your effort lord Odin...much appreciated.
Wow very impress by your animation and narration. you should be proud of yourseld. and thanks for the help i couldnt figure out how the air goes around the tomb until now thats man
Could you make a video for how a response trigger works? oh and this video helps a lot thank you
Thanks a lot for this video 💪
Visit the A5OG. They have tons of resources and knowledgeable people to help you out.
So if the hammer doesn't catch on the trigger, you just pull the bolt back? I assume the hammer is connected to the bolt.
might be a silly question but what are some reason to why the bolt wouldn't reset?
The spring attached to the purple part (in this video) could be broken. Or not enough air pressure remained to the hammer back.
2 hours of google search and this is the best I have found on this topic. Thank you for making this video.
wow!, dude, i have a problem at my trigger, does not keep the striker at the back position, can i modificate the "purple piece" at the video?
i have a BT delta marker..
TY :)
I wouldn't. Make sure you removed overspray by polishing your clamshells so that the hammer can fully return.
How/could you go about sealing off the blowback gas? I am trying to make my gun not reset the hammer after shooting.
Thanks
Very nice video, i was always afraid of getting the A-5 because i though you had to push a rod that works the cyclone feed, but its all auto matic :D so in a week or so, im gonna get the A-5 marker :D
what effect does the front bolt have on the paintball? what would happen if there was only the propellant gas and no forward action of the front bolt?
Wouldn't it roll backwards? Other than that, I don't know
Fantastic video, very helpful.
Could you please make a video on how an electronic marker works? Or is it basically the same?
this looks exactly like how my bt combat works... I wonder if the a5 e-grip would fit on it? (Seeing as I've heard bad things about the bt e-grip.) The trigger parts look exactly the same...
Ok now how would i stop the blow back valve in order to make it bolt action?
:v hm
@phazedreality818 the rof for that mod is higher than that
The more you know. Thanks for the work
Excelente
At 1:35, you'll see that the trigger sear is pushed by the spring and waits for the hammer. It can't go full auto because of this. If the sear pivot hole wasn't oversized to allow movement like that, it would become full auto.
