 Loved It January 5, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I got this gun for my husband as a birthday gift. He was getting into paint ball and all he had were two cheap wal-mart brand guns. When finding this one online, he desperatly wanted it, so we paid for it. Although the shipping took a little longer then we wanted.
He loves it! He even has fun with it in the backyard shooting at targets. Although its not regulation for him to enter any actual paint ball tournaments, he has a lot of fun using it with his friends. There's not a day that's gone by that we regret the money we spent on this.

before everyone flips out on me, i use a tippmann 98 custom with all sorts of modded internals, a scope, 20" barrel, and a sniper stock. so im not biased, im just being honest. if ur going to spend $310 all at once, id recommend many other things. the tippmann X7 is an amazing woodsball gun for only $300. other guns, both woodsball, and speedball, are great for the same price. but overall i love tippmann, they make great beginner guns, theyre durable, and cool looking. if you really want an a5 and youre into sniping, get this, but otherwise, find something else.

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.
Reasonable, but there are better deals if you look around. June 4, 2007

This is a great, resonably priced custom setup for the Tippmann A-5. The A-5 is considered by most of the woodsball/scenarioball community as the best. The second would be the custom 98, also by Tippmann. Now while this is a decent setup, I myself bought the exact same gun, and added the stock, a low profile hopper and a better J&J ceramic barrel seperately here on amazon and it came out to only $310.
As for sights, I recomend buying sights at a store so you can try them out first. Theres nothing worse than buying sights online, waitng for it to arive and then realizing that you can't see through it when you've got a mask on, or some other problem.
Overall this is a good gun and the extra parts are resonably priced, but if you know what you want to do with your a-5, there are other parts available here on Amazon that can make it better than this setup for about the same cost.

Gun works great. I had some problems with the stock and laser sights when i got it, but the seller was friendly and willing to return said parts and replace them. I have not got around to it but the gun itself works splendid.
