Product Description

Package includes 16" barrel, red dot, Tac Cap and adjustable stock. The black Tippmann A-5 sniper paintball gun is all about speed, making it a great choice for your paintball activities. The A-5 is outfitted with a patented Cyclone Feed System that links the feeder sprocket to the air mechanism. This gives the gun the power to unleash a fury of balls as fast as you can fire them, with a maximum feed rate of 17 balls per second. Users will also like the gun's versatility, with a frame that can be completely stripped and reassembled in the field in 60 seconds without tools. And thanks to the gun's all-aluminum die-cast receiver and extra-sturdy black finish, the A-5 is one of the toughest markers available. Combining technology, accuracy, and durability, this high-end marker has everything you need for a day at the course, letting you concentrate entirely on eliminating your opponent. The A-5 also offers such features as a shock-absorbing end cap for reduced wear and recoil, a front-cocking knob that allows for a fully enclosed receiver, and a 200-round stock hopper. The gun is compatible with CO2, compressed air, and nitrogen, and is completely customizable for enhanced performance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow Pretty Much Sums It Up, March 17, 2005

This gun is beautiful, just beautiful. It shoots like a pro. The cyclone feed system is ingenious and with the Smart Parts barrel this thing kills. I haven't broken a ball yet and it's dead accurate. I was hitting a 6 inch target at 60 feet (Diablo Midnight) and out of the 15 balls shot, all 15 hit one on top of the other. I've used all kinds of guns including high end electros but this thing just floats my boat. I play woodsball and this thing is just perfect for that. I love the fact that it's accurate and I can pump out balls fast with out a break. I used to hate how balls used to curve crazily and never go where you wanted them, but with this gun and barrel this thing hits dead on. The stock adds that extra stablization needed to get a good shot off and realisim. The two things that bug me about this gun is that when using the red-dot sight it's partially blocked due to the hopper but just get the micro cap and you'll be fine and if your using a 20oz tank it takes some getting used to because it's about the same length of the stock but a smaller tank will fix that. Other than that this gun is perfect. Some claim the cyclone feed is humongo compared to a regular hopper but they're realitively the same. Weight here is not an issue unless your a pansy. It weighs around 6 lbs give or take a little. If you can't carry around six pounds with a SLING that lessens the weight than I think you should just jump in front of a car right now. Quit complaining. 6 lbs people, someone with no arms could lift that. Just make sure you sight in the red-dot and it would help if you got the micro cap or take the top part off an ammo pod. This gun deserves a 5 outta 5. No ball breaks, great accuracy, decent range, ultra durable, very reliable, and has a great feel to it. After my buddies played with it they all wanted it. They wanted to give up their 98's and Spyder's after about 5 seconds with my gun. Great gun, and if your still wondering if you should buy it, DO IT, you won't be sorry.

I received this gun in my mail on Friday and I shot it up on Saturday. This gun is excellent!!! Everyone knows the durability of any Tippmann markers. With these mods, and a few more mods and tweaks to go, this gun can be just as reliable as it is durable. Cleaning it is a piece of cake. Although, your average person has to refer to the manual to take it apart and put it back together, I managed to install a response trigger (not included) just using my common sense. I give the credit to Tippmann's design... that's just how Tippmann is.

This is the gun with a thousand looks. You can mod this to be an AK-47, MP5, or M4A1 just to name the popular models most Tippmann owners go for. In fact, anything that the aftermarket has to offer can make every Tippmann unique. Don't forget, Tippmann has a huge aftermarket support. There is virtually no limit where you can go with this marker!

In terms of range, I found the accuracy to be within 80-100 feet before the ball arched. Without any adjustments, right out of the box, I fired hot at 306 feet per second (most fields only allow 260-280 fps for velocity). The sight with red dot is a little cool thing to have but it's not useful unless you plan on modding the marker to be a sniper rifle (which will require a lot of work for more range and accuracy). It's adjustable which swivels the lens left, right, up and down. The only problem is it gets in the way of the hopper and you have to remove it for you to put the hopper on. The offset rail isn't "offset" enough to accommodate the sight while having the hopper on. If you like to keep the sight on, you'd have to invest on the offset hopper adapter --which I think is a great idea anyway, so you can have more rounds loaded. The aftermarket stock was a little hard to install because the fitting of it wasn't exact as the normal stock. You can't use a big tank with the stock collapsed. For example, you'd have to have it fully extended to fit a 20oz. CO2 tank. I recommend a remote coil for this to keep the weight balanced and light. During the game, the stock came in very handy. My arms didn't tire because my shoulder helped the gun steady instead of just my two hands on the grip and the fore grip.

Overall, whether you're a beginner or a pro, this gun with these mods for this price is a steal! I have absolutely no regrets. I am more than pleased to be the owner of this marker.

Best gun out there for woodball. However the red dot sight is more of a distraction than a tool.
