So I used Formula 40 for the first time a DotR a few days ago and noticed it seemed to work better in my pistol then the usual fireball. The F40 seemed to have a little harder shell which stopped the paint from jamming in the mag of my tpx. When I used it in my A5 it chopped but I am having issues with it so I don't think the paint had to do with that. I would recommend using F40 for pistols and other mag fed guns. I really want to try it out when its warmer out to see if it would jam up in the heat. Hopefully someone else would have noticed what I did about it.

I have noticed the same thing, I put 8 clips through my TPX with no breaks. I rapid fired 4 of those 8 clips and no breaks too. I believe with that thicker fill and a little harder shell makes it nice for mag feed markers.

Tried it in my stockclass marker yesterday, shot great but the hits kept bouncing. When playing with limited paint i will prob stick with fireball, otherwise F40 FTW.

JD, I think I can help with your A5 issue. Give me a call.

I noticed that there may have been more "bounces" with the formula 40. Mech do you recall my solution for that at the 2nd session alamo?

shoot more paint?

and to mech yea my A5 issues I have never encountered before when I have low paint in my hopper it wont cycle. I had an extra cyclone feed in my bag so I switched it and still had issues. I had full air and haven't changed anything in my gun in a long time but it just started doing this. Maybe I need to replace some o-rings or something. Let me know that you think mech.

I know a lot about tippmann trouble shooting but not when it comes to the cyclone. besides fixing the ratchet.

Check your power tube. You might have a worn spot or a crack.

thats right jd, There was a particular somali that comes to mind he didnt feel that the break on his chest was a sufficent kill. Mech had a ref go check him and his backside was clean. Needless to say I was a bit irritated so I shot a rope of paint till he felt that he was adaquatly covered in paint to finally call himself out.

I doubt its my powertube because I have one of those jcs red hot metal ones and I only use compressed air...not co2. I will anyway but I don't think that would be it. If I can't figure it out by global i'll have tippmann fix it for me.

I also HAD one of those JCS metal power tubes.......Trust me, give it a try and put you stock tube back in it, try it out and see if it works. I will tell you what happened with mine at global.
