 Tippmann A5 |

Ok. So I got this set up through Amazon in a very timely manner and with everything intact. I ordered the double trigger at the same time, and installed that as well. I was SO pumped to go out and use it. Got it out to the field where I play, put on the CO2 tank after it was filled aaaannnd....the tank emptied in about 8 seconds. It drained the tank right out through the barrel. BUMMED! The tech at the place said it was probably the valve inside that was not holding the pressure back, and that I would need to contact Tippmann to take advantage of the warranty for a new one.
No way! I took it all apart, right there in the field the first time, and put it back together. (Not something you want to get into outside, but it is very easy to take apart and put back together.) Turns out there was an O ring inside the valve that wasn't seated. Put it in place, reassembled it, then gave it another go with the tank. Seems fine, although at the time of this writing (7/24/10) I haven't been able to field test it.
I've used many Tippmann products before, and they are beastly! I'm sure this one will be no different, and I will be out in the field soon taking aim at people who have smaller and lighter markers. Not to mention that with Tippmann you can upgrade and customize your gun almost endlessly. Cheers to Amazon and Ultimate Paintball who delivered the goods. And if you aren't feeling like taking your gun apart, make sure you get your warranty smoothed out before you do anything else. And have a backup marker if possible. You may need it. |
Great gun in every way

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. |

| Lots of extras. Much better deal than if we bought the items separately at a local store. I think we saved about $150. |
Great Deal
