Awesome MarkerFeb 15, 2010 Love this marker! It's great! Customizable, lightweight, doesn't chop paint, within my price range.
I run my A5 on compressed air, w/remote, 20" J&J Ceramic Sniper Barrel. With the barrel I can put paint down range, but I still haven't found the perfect paint for this marker. Paint hasn't broken inside the marker but I had a lot of bounces at long range.
Good And DurableNov 25, 2009 I've owned this marker for roughly five years now. It has withstood major abuse from rain, rocks, dirt, sand, and I even dropped it in a creek once. The upgrades (visual and performance) you are able to buy are limitless. I've enchanced the cyclone; which hasn't broken a ball since, upgraded the barrel (which is a must), and made it look like four different types of weapons in it's lifespan. This is the perfect buy for any woodsballer and decent for speedball as well. It may take beginners some time to learn various quirks concerning dissassembly and cleaning but honestly it shouldn't take long. If you've been on the fence about whether to buy one - just get it. You won't have any regrets.
wowSep 27, 2009 i have played for many days in the woods with this gun and well all the others were changing parts i was laughing ths is my favoritere gun i have owned its great because it can llok cool and still preform or can look stock and still do well
i likeSep 09, 2009 out of the box, i didnt have to adjust the fps...it shot at 260-270 fps. doesnt come with co2 tank, so order one. this gun seems to consume gas faster than the Tippman 98, probably due to the cyclone feed. it shoots pretty straight with the stock barrel, but range kinda sucks; i would estimate the paintball starts to drop significantly at around 75 ft. i am definately planning on getting a barrel....looking at flatline to extend its range.
still, it is a great gun, not terribly expensive, looks great.
A great, rugged markerSep 07, 2009 Tippmann's A-5 is one of, if not the, best woodsball markers out there. With a plethora of upgrade options, you can tweak your A-5 to your personal preference and playing style. From mil-sim body kits to sights, barrels to stocks, if you want to change it or add it, you can. That's one of the main reasons it is perhaps the most popular marker among woodsballers, because each marker is optimized for its individual owner.
As is typical for a Tippmann, the A-5 is nearly impossible to break. It's heavier than most markers but far sturdier. It's also fairly easy to field strip, with most of the process being removing a series of push pins.
What sets the A-5 (and the X7, which is based on the A-5 chassis) apart is the Cyclone feed system, which uses a gas-powered sprocket to force-feed the paintballs into the chamber. This means you can get 15+ balls per second if your trigger finger is fast enough without ever needing to wonder what your battery level is on your electric hopper. This system also virtually eliminated misfeeds, dry fires and ball chops.
The A-5's main drawback is due to the Cyclone as well - compared to other markers, this thing eats air like no tomorrow (since the Cyclone is gas-powered). If you put a response trigger on the marker it really will empty your tank quickly. The Cyclone will stop working below about 800 psi, forcing you to manually feed each round with a button on the side; so those running with 3000 psi tanks have to be extra careful. You can usually get about four hoppers before running into any problems. There are several aftermarket mods, like the Vortex, that will lower the operating pressure, but these require disassembling the Cyclone feed system and will be too much trouble for the casual player.
For the drawback of having to fill your tank a few more times a day, all the advantages of the A-5 are well worth it. I own quite a few markers ranging from the cheap to the insanely expensive, but when that big scenario game rolls around, you'll see me out there with my customized A-5.
