Review:
The A-5 is the newest, most innovative addition to the Tippmann line of paintball guns. Synonymous with rugged durability, Tippmann manufacturers high quality guns that meet the demands of the recreational player. The A-5 improves on Tippmann’s earlier designs of the Model 98 and the F/A (Full-Auto). The A-5 improves on the Tippmann F/A ball feed system by using a pneumatic, not mechanical, power source to feed balls into the gun’s chamber. The cyclone feed allows the A-5 to achieve firing rates upwards of 12 balls per second. The second key improvement in the A-5 is that it is much easier to field strip than its predecessor, the Model 98. In addition to the cyclone field and quicker striping, the A-5 features include open sight aiming, a closed bolt system, a front cocking lever, a bottomline adapter (for quick upgrades), a removable grip frame, an adjustable foregrip, and a carbine threaded barrel adapter. An owners manual, one year warranty from Tippmann, wide mouth hopper, barrel plug, cable squeegee, a small packet of gun oil, one extra tank o-ring, and three allen wrenches are included in the A-5‘s box. the outward appearance of the A-5 to resemble the appearance of the Heckler & Koch MP5K, a submachine gun. The picture to the right illustrates the resemblance. The A-5 paintball gun is on the top, while the H&K firearm is pictured at the bottom. Tippmann did a great job replicating the MP5K. The A-5 has MP-5 style grips, sights, and cocks in the front like a real MP5K. Most players feel that the A-5 looks great, but we need to note that there is also a group of players who think that making paintball guns resemble real life guns is a step in the wrong direction, that however is a totally different story. If looks could kill, the A-5 would be able to do it. The A-5 is no splash anodized piece of artwork, but you wouldn't want to see this gun pointed at you let alone be shot at with it. The feed system is a little bulky, but you can't complain with a 12+ bps rate of fire. With an all black finish, worrying about the sun reflecting off of it won't be a problem.
