The Tac 5M Recon paintball gun is a powerful weapon that is slow to reload. You can speed up the reloading process by making the Tac 5M into a fully automatic weapon. You will need to disassemble the Tac 5M and make an adjustment to the case. This will technically violate the warranty as well as disallow the Tac 5M for use in paintball games. You need only a gun-locking pin from a hobby store, or gun shop, and some tools.
