How a Tippmann A5 Works
HTML-код

- 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.
As a mechanical engineering student, this was beautiful to watch
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.

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...
beautifully explained! i know how to service my guns but knowing exactly how everything works in unison really helps with troubleshooting
2 hours of google search and this is the best I have found on this topic. Thank you for making this video.
Top video and narration. Hands down . Period thanks boss . Feel way comfortable opening up my markern fixing itself
I'm in the process of trying design my own marker as a personal project and this was very helpful
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
WUAU!!!. Really nice animation. thank you very much for your clear explanation.
Super clear and precisely explained. Excellent!
Got a box of old markers and someone said they were similar to this design. Thanks for the info!
That trigger is simply genius.
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 RUclips 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.
absolutely brilliant animation, thank you for your effort lord Odin...much appreciated.
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.
Exactly what I was looking for, thank you :)
Great work! Always good to know the internal operation of your marker to help diagnose problems. Thanks for this.
Cheers,

The more you know. Thanks for the work
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
thank you for telling me how it works ive been wondering for awhile now.
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.
Fantastic video, very helpful.
Thank you, my friend's marker is broken and this explained so much for me
I have a tippman FT50, always giving me a high velocity... I cannot lower it down by using velocity adjuster screw. Cutting a little in drive spring will help to lower the velocity or will cause more problem in the marker?
Awesome job. This will be very helpful in explaining how the markers work. - Cady
GREAT VIDEO.
this should come as a disc in the A-5 box
grt illustration and explenation!
i'm an engineer and i really like your video!
Very nice video. Though a legend would have been nice what the different colored objects are named
Wow! Excellent job on both the video and the 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.
WOW! Thank you for posting this video and spending time to explain it! I was looking for something like this! :) Now I feel more confident at what i'll be expecting when I open up my marker.

very nice job
@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.
Thanks a lot for this video 💪
@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.
make sure the spring pushing the sear (purple piece) is strong enough to push itself up into the seating area of the hammer.
@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.
@M0RTaLK0MBaT68 You got it. The sole purpose of the blowback gas is to make a single-fire marker semi-automatic.
I wish I had better memory so I could watch one video and remember it all lol.
@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.
Thanks for the great video!
excellent video man
@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..
@relicMk Sure is. Bravo One is the same as the Alpha Black, just named differently for different countries. So this video will apply to the Bravo One, as well.
oregon paintball stole your vid just a fyi
@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.
Thank you! I have been looking for a trigger mechanism that works for semi-autos for so long
Nice video, Well explained.
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.
Thank you so much. Great explanation.
Outstanding video! Thank you!
That was a very good video. nice job
@PernellDD Yes, even with HPA, a reg will improve your efficiency a ton. You'll get a lot more shots per tank out of it. Just make sure to choose one that can output up to approx 650-700 psi.
dunno what you mean when the gun is rated at 740 psi .... that is, it requires that to cycle. its internally regulated for that reason. however a regulator would be required to get th 3600 psi air down to 800 psi ish... or it would blow the main seals.
@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.
VERY INFORMATIVE...thank you...
@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.
Awesome vid!
@PernellDD I'll be posting videos of my previous experiments in the coming future, which will cover lots of upgrades for Tippmanns and how they affect their performance.
To answer your question simply, get the APE board and Cyclone upgrades (ratchet, squishy paddles). If you run straight off the tank, get the ZK, but if you use a regulator, avoid it and get a front bolt with an innner o-ring.
@EvilFingers Thanks, man. I appreciate it.
Well done video,,,,
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
@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.
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.
verry cool
@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.
I would like to see this animation using techTs blowforward -blow back upgrade
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.
Excelente
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
@MrBoatman95 That would be any marker that can shoot First Strike rounds. FSR are pretty expensive, though.
This system rocks! Can't wait to get my hands on Tippman's airsoft gun!
TANKS AND GREAT VIDEO
WOW it takes 4 minutes to explain. BUT only 1/20 of a second to be put into action!
Thank you
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.
Too bad you don't upload videos anymore... They were really good.
If you shot somebody at the wrong place. At point blank range. It can actually kill
now speed the video up and see what it looks like in live speed
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?
thank you
Could you make a video for how a response trigger works? oh and this video helps a lot thank you
this really help with mods
If that pink part didnt have an oval shaped hole, it would be full auto. Right??
@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 RUclips as well. He did a shotgun mod and it doesn't reset the hammer.
Should use arrows to determine which area he is explaining
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?
I wouldn't. Make sure you removed overspray by polishing your clamshells so that the hammer can fully return.
@tcherassi1 Either one works well but air has its advantages performance-wise.
Ninja makes excellent tanks. Their regulators are very consistent and they have great customer support.
@david199619 thanks for the feedback xD
Can you do one of a Tippmann Phenom? Awesome video
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.
Could someone explain what the *tombstone* is? What does it do, why is it needed?
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
Right
what is the best paintball gun??? (meaning wich gun is the most accurate, go the farthest, and hurts most when shot.)
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
Excelente!
What happens if the power tube is cracked?
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?..
