The Cyclone Feed System links the feeder sprocket to the air system, powering 15BPS firing action.Tippmann's A-5 paintball marker was designed to deliver speed. A patented Cyclone Feed System links the feeder sprocket to the air system, enabling you to fire balls as quickly as your finger can squeeze the trigger. The entire weapon can be stripped and reassembled in the field in 60 seconds, tool-free, and an all-aluminum die cast receiver and tough black finish round out the body design.
The A-5 was already one of Tippmann's most popular products, and this model boasts ten new improvements, including:

• Cyclone Feed System feeds up to 15 balls per second without batteries
• External selector switch allows players to switch easily from safety to firing mode
• Larger front grip has a better feel and upgrades are easier to add
• 8.5-inch stock barrel is stone-honed for improved accuracy and noise reduction
• Redesigned internal bore is wider for faster field stripping and ease of maintenance
• Lighter receiver design reduces overall weight
• Tombstone connections for simpler maintenance
• Sling mounts are removable, making it easy to add a sling
• Low-profile hopper with offset design offers a clear sightline
• Black gas line provides greater on-field stealth and durability

A shock-absorbing end cap reduces wear and recoil, while a front-cocking knob allows for a fully enclosed receiver. A 200-round, wide-mouth hopper keeps you in the game for long stretches at a time, and the marker's customization options are nearly limitless, thank to its compatibility with Tippmann's wide range of add-ons.
A shock-absorbing end cap greatly reduces wear and tear.

Customer Reviews

Sure it's no Angel, but if you're not a super serious player who takes pride in throwing away over a hundred dollars of paint every game, this reliable gun will help you stand up to the competition no problem. Been playing for a little while now and finally upgraded from my starter gun (mainly for accuracy/FPS concerns) and I have had no issue taking on more "heavily armed" opponents who can spray paint all over without being able to hit the broadside of a barn. I've attached a SAW stock and a 14" barrel, so I just mow em down before they get close enough that rate of fire outmatches accuracy. Simple and clean semi-auto action makes for a great woodsball sniper (my role), but it can easily be re-outfitted to an SMG for close quarters skirmishes. If you anticipate firing a lot, this probably isn't the gun for you, cause even though you can empty a hopper full (only 175 balls) in under 30 seconds, you'll run through so much air that you would only make it to the third or fourth reload. Also, don't believe the BS they feed you that you can field strip it in 90 seconds. That is utter garbage. It's not difficult, but you will definitely need a table, some allen wrenches, patience, and a tolerance for finger pain.

Frame is metal and pretty much everything else is a durable hard plastic. Reliable, simplistic, and easy maintenance make this a great choice for an entry level player. With a few mods it can hold its own against some of the higher end guns. One of the most upgradable markers on the market, but upgrades can get expensive fast. Heavier than average, but on par with most of the other realistic style markers. The cyclone is abit of an air hog, but that goes without saying. I personally prefer a non-electronic hopper at the expense of air. I havent chopped/broke a ball yet. Shoots pretty straight for a stock barrel. Even with cheap paint it shoots in the general area your aiming. All and all I am 100% pleased with this marker.
