## Description

The ball latch is a part of the Tippmann marker that prevents paintballs from rolling out of the barrel before being fired. If you are having an issue where balls are rolling out of your barrel when you aim the marker downward, it means that you need to replace your ball latch. Ball latches eventually wear down or break off and need to be replaced.Tippmann Part Number FA-18 (also called TA45010 or 72211)

Review: Works good - Works great in tippmann A5 and US Army. Keep these in hand.
Review: Great feel and quality for appropriate platforms. - Purchased the 6 pack for back up use, I own a Phenom X7 and a TMC Tippmann. The latch fits perfectly in the Phenom platform as shown in the last two images (5-6). The TMC blank adapter did not unfortunately (view image 1 for comparison of new latch and OEM one). HOWEVER, after a little bit of trimming to the front portion of the latch (image 2), the latch fit in the metal holder just enough for function (image 3). I used a sharp pocket knife to cut the slight portion off but a exacto knife will do the trick as well. Tested the modified latch at the field with high quality paint and not a single chopped or double feed in the chamber. I’m also not running a anti chop bolt as well. If you are double feeding or chopping balls constantly/every now and then, inspect your latch and it may be time to replace it. Thanks for the amazing product!

I am very impressed with this AOQEE camera set. The image quality is crystal clear, both during the day and with the night vision mode. Setting them up was a breeze; the app is intuitive and I had them running in just a few minutes.
