![]() The Cyclone feed system links the feeder sprocket to the air system, providing rapid firepower. |
The Tippmann A-5 has a patented Cyclone Feed System which links the feeder sprocket to the air system, giving it the power to unleash a fury of balls as fast as you can fire them. The A-5 can also be completely stripped and reassembled in the field in 60 seconds, without tools. With its all-aluminum die cast receiver and extra-sturdy black finish, the A-5 is one tough marker.
Other features include a shock-absorbing end cap for reduced wear and recoil, front-cocking knob which allows for a fully enclosed receiver, and a 200-round wide-mouth hopper.

Good, not Great,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: TIPPMANN A5 Gun 4+1 Xray MEGA Set + Remote + Neck Guard (Sports)
Since this package contains so many things, I'm going to review each item separately, so you can decide if the whole kit is worth it:
1) Tippman A5 Marker - One of the best paintball markers around. It's the "AK-47" of markers. Retails for about $179.00. 2) Low profile hopper - It doesn't state that it comes with one, but my kit did. A definite must for any A5. Retails for about $6.00. 3) C02/HPA Remote line - Another definite must. What a lot of people don't know is that a remote line works as an expansion chamber for C02 (so don't go buy a expansion chamber if you use a remote line). Remote can also handle HPA (High Pressure Air). Retails for about $16.99. 4) Neck protector - Thin neoprene, I never have used it, and I can't see it offering much protection from a neck shot. Retails for about $7.00. 5) C02 Cannister - I would recommend using HPA rather than C02 (especially if you ever desire to convert to a full-auto marker). But, C02 works, and cannisters retail for around $30.00. 6) Mask - The mask that comes with it is usable, but not high quality. It's made of hard plastic, and is definitely on the cheaper end. Retails for about $16.99. 7) Equipment Belt - This is the first thing I'd replace. May work for "speedball", but the tubes poke out on either side which will snag everything in a game of woodsball. You're better off getting a paintball vest. Retails for about $11.00. 8) Paint pods - Comes with 4, white/clear plastic. They're fine, they retail for about $2.50 each. 9) Oil, tools, squeegee, barrel cover - These are "incidental" items, that should come with any marker you buy retail. So, overall cost (retail) for all of these would be: $276.98, which makes it a good deal. However, I promise you will want to replace the mask and belt, which would make the kit cost $248.99 (still a decent value). And, if you ever want to switch to HPA, you have a CO2 cannister that you may only use if you run out of HPA, so there's another $30 bucks. I checked the price of all of the items I've switched over to, and buying items piece by piece would have cost me a total of $341.99, which included a Switch FS mask (very nice mask, thermal lens, flexible, COMFORTABLE), a UAG digital camo paintball vest and an HPA cannister. Bottom line, its a good deal if you don't plan to really get into paintball, but just want to have something you can goof around with a few times. But, if you are serious about it, you should probably just part it out, buying used when you can (particularly on the A5, which is pretty much indestructible). Long winded, but I hope it helps some new buyers.

Great gun in every way,
By Spunkweed "Jeff" (Ventura, CA) - See all my reviews

Short story:
It's big, it's heavy, you can beat it up, and it's only ever chopped three balls in over 800 shots. This gun is a tank, it's surprisingly accurate for having a short smooth barrel (approx. 12 inch spread @ 40ft), and it's cake to work on if it has any problems with all the quick release bolts on it (and don't worry, they WON'T come out while you play, even if you're rough on it). Great deal if you want to step up to the next level gun from a cheaper beginner gun. Long story: All the little things. like the quick and easy screw for the front grip, and the replaceable barrel receiver if you ever strip it (it's a separate fitted chunk held captive by the main receiver halves), and you can remove the gas line and attach the quick release directly to the receiver instead of having it under the main grip (receiver has a standard tank valve on it, just like the base of the grip). I personally would have preferred a metal trigger, or at least something with a better feel, but that's not a real issue. The cyclone is amazing, never had a single jam, and the gun's pretty conservative with ammo. I am not a fan of the paintball tube and tank belt, just makes the tank jab into your spine as you run, not pleasant, but the tubes are great for keeping paintballs at the field. Mask is meh, but it gets the job done. I would also suggest getting the low profile hopper, makes the gun look better if you ask me. Pray you don't get hit right on the cyclone feeder because it is a pain to clean. The rest of the gun is cake, just pull the back plug and you can pull the firing assembly right out. Overall just an awesome deal, plus it's a pretty sweet looking gun.

This is a great starter kit! It comes with everything you need (even though the neck guard is stupid).
Everything was great quality
