 Good rec. marker February 21, 2005
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
The Tippmann A-5 is a very reliable recreational marker. Out of the box it needs a few improvements, most notible is a better barrel, as the stock one is pretty inaccurate. My recommendation is either a Lapco 12" Bigshot or the Tippmann Flatline. After that, it just depends on how much you're willing to spend. Other modifications can include N2 air instead of CO2, the rt or e-grip, low pressure kit, expansion chamber or regulator, stocks, drop forwards and so on. But really, about the only thing most players will really need is a better barrel. The cyclone feeder works flawlessly, I've never chopped a ball (estimated 12,000 balls through it) and it is much more reliable and durable than the electronic hoppers the other markers must use. Overall, the Tippmann is an robust paintball marker capable of taking a great deal of abuse without a hitch, and if you do manage to break something, Tippmann is renowned for great customer service. (They replaced my e-grip twice with no charge)

This gun is truely amazing. This gun is easy to field strip and clean, rugged and tough, dependable, and upgradable.
I recommend this gun for beginners and pros alike. Depending on your play style, you can customize and/or upgrade this gun to your hearts desire and paintball needs. Speedball? Get an E-Grip and big Shot barrel. Woodsball? Get a Flatline barrel and a stock. This gun will grow with you.
The cycolne feed is perfect. I have not seen a ball break with it yet. It is capable of putting 15 paintballs per second into the chamber. (You would need a response trigger or E-grip to do that)
This gun is the last one I will need to buy for several years.
A KIck A@# Gun September 10, 2004
I've played for 5 weeks with A5 and loved it. You can get shots off quickly and it is dead on. There is a couple accessories you need, the E grip for rapid fire and a better honed barrel. I never had a ball break yet, and great for the price

Tippman paintball guns are some of the most reliable on the market. They are durable, and they don't break paint. I've shot at least 10,000 rounds through my A-5 in the last 4 months, and I've have had only 2 break in the barrel. A-5's are cheap compared to a lot of guns, and for the quality of the gun it is a steal. You can also easily get upgrades for the A-5. The A-5 stock barrel is not very good, so I use a J+J Ceramic barrel. For newbies, make sure you buy good paint. The cheap stuff will not shoot straight. It is worth it to pay $10 more and actually hit someone.If you are just starting to play paintball, the A-5 or Tippman custom 98 would be excellent choices for a marker.
