The Tippmann A5 Paintball Gun is one of those foundation paintball markers from which you can build the gaming weapon that is absolutely perfect for your needs. It can be assembled and reassembled in about a minute.  Really experienced marksmen can customize it in less than thirty seconds out in the woods or while lying in the grass sneaking up on the enemy. Like the Tippman 98 marker the Tippman A5 Paintball gun can be upgraded and customized to build the perfect combat weapon for you. This includes changing the barrels, sights and grips in a deft, quick manner.

Almost everybody optimizes the Tippmann A5 Paintball Gun with the standard upgrades, which includes a sturdy e-grip, an expansion chamber kit, a flatline barrel and a gasline saving low pressure kit. These are the three many upgrades for the Tippmann A5 paintball gun that keep it functioning optimally during any game.

This universal paintball marker is best suited to woodsball type play and many different types of kits are available online and off for dressing up your gun to look like a drop-dead serious combat weapon. These include real look alike military accessories such as stocks, grips, shrouds and scopes. Some of these upgrades look so real that you would not ever want to be seen carrying one into a Seven-Eleven late at night!  You would look like you were going to rob it!

The Tippmann A5 Paintball gun also works well with any kind of air including CO2 or HPA air and the hopper is a generous one that holds over 200 paintballs. It can be used with a standard trigger or reactive gas one.

However aside from its versatility and its endless possibilities when it comes to upgrades and customization the Tippmann A5 Paintball Gun is mostly known for its Cyclone Feed system that works by forcing balls to be fired through the hopper. This is a smooth system that prevents balls from breaking (and as we all well know broken balls can get to be experience.)

However the cost of not having broken balls is a lack of speed. The stock barrel that is standard as a Tippmann A5 Paintball gun is also not that great for distance shooting however you can replace it in minutes with other types of barrels.  However this is a sturdy, versatile paintball marker that is highly recommended for purchase – especially if you are a beginner.
