The Tippmann a5 attests Tippmann’s reputation of dependability while still offering one of the highest rates of fire and accuracy at the same time – impressive enough for a mid-priced recreational paintball gun. What’s even great about this marker is that ball breaks in its hopper are virtually unheard of and even misfires due to misfeeds are uncommon, plus The Tippmann a5 offers an easy field stripping (one aspect that Tippmann was known to be weak in before). Another advantage of the A-5 is its tons of upgrades and alternate parts available especially when you get bored with your gun’s configuration. While this marker is ideal for the recreational paintballer, it may be too bulky though to be useful for tournament players. Although it has a few minor setbacks, to sum it all up, it’s one wise pick.
