TippmannA-5 Stealth Marker

Prior to purchasing this marker, I reviewed of lot of information from Ebay buyers/sellers as well as from Amazon. When buying a marker, ask yourself what you really want to get out of it? I wanted something that looked and felt as close as possible to an actual military-issued rifle. I also wanted something that didn't require so much maintenance.By judging the photos it looks too plain. Now, I am no expert but I heard mixed information about this marker. Some people have told me you can't really trick out this marker, like adding a new trigger system, to the barrel and even the techy accessories.The day I received it, I was not disappointed. The marker looked like the real deal. I remember showing it to a couple of my LAPD buddies and they were impressed. Although it was a bit plain with the details, I went online and bought some stuff to make it look better. I was unable to add too many things to it but then again it was not necessary.What add-ons I purchased:- 12" barrel (make sure its A5 threading)- Barrel Cover- Reflex Scope-Vertical ForegripOnce I tricked it out, the marker is still light to carry, even if you attach an air tank to the marker.Some other Pro's:- Light weight- Feels realistic- Great color- For maintenance, all you need to do is oil, oil and oil!During Usage:Not once did the paintballs jam or burst while in the chamber/barrel. Very easy to clean and oil. I had lots of compliments when I brought it out to play. All in all, I spent about $80.00 on add ons.Other Helpful tips:Barrel Thread: A5Rail system: PicatinnyDo buy a remote line systemInvest in a 12" or 14" barrel for accuracy

I love my A5 workhorse that works under a y condition and you wont miss any games trying to fix jams. This gun with the Egrip has no problem keeping up with those high tech really expensive gunssure it might be a little slower but in the right hands more efective because it vertually never fails you. I have friends with electric loaders that sometimes end up skipping a game or two because they chopped paint and have to clear it by opening their gun but not with the cyclone its simple and it works. I have a friend whis A5 is about 7 years and not a single problem with it. This is a great gun but if you can carry something that is heavyer than those speedball guns all day long dont get. We are a group of 5 all A5 and when we play we allways tip the winnings over to whatever team we are on. There are better more expensive guns out there that shoot alot faster but will never be as reliable as this simple mechanical gun besides if you are good and have at least a buddy to play by your side you hardly ever need to use the full auto. Good luck if you dont buy a tippmann and if you do you will not regret it.

If you are looking for a excellent paintball gun this is for you. Is a gift due to the power that it has when firing it. I try it on my house with 2 big post office boxes and it crossed both boxes without breaking the little paintballs. The paintball broke when hot the wall behind the boxes.It is an excellent gun for the price and looks beautiful.

For starters, the product advertised was NOT the product I received and neither Amazon nor Tippmann is willing to correct it. They both blame the other. When I purchase something from this website, I expect the description will be accurate and I will receive the product as described. This is the product description from the day I placed my order, which also happens to be EXACTLY the same description which is currently on the website TIPPMANN A-5 Stealth Paintball Marker, as of today, 2007-Jun-19, nearly two months after I filed the complaint.Product DescriptionWhat's Included in the Box Brand New Tippmann A5 Marker Tippmann A5 Standard Barrel Tippmann A5 Flatline Barrel Tapco 6 Position Collapsible Tactical Stock Micro Coil Remote Cyclone Ammo Hopper Allen Wrenches Gun Oil Tippmann Barrel Condom Cleaning Cable Operators Manual Full One Year Warranty From Tippmann The All New Tippmann A-5 is a high performance paintball marker with the patented Cyclone Feed System. The Cyclone Feed System Links the Feeder Sprocket to the Air System. The Faster you shoot, the faster the Tippmann A-5 feeds. Pull the Trigger 15 times a second, and the Tippmann A-5 feeds 15 balls per second. The Tippmann A-5 is also easy to clean and maintain with its no tool field strip feature. Innovative technology, maximum firepower, unsurpassed accuracy and Tippmann durability are the core foundations of the all new Tippmann A-5. By minimizing trajectory of the ball and increasing accuracy, you increase the amount of targets which would ordinarily be out of range. The Flatline Barrel System adds 100 feet of flat trajectory GUARANTEED.This product does NOT include the standard barrel. What they also don't tell you is that it does not include the barrel adapter, which is necessary to attach ANY barrel other than the flatline barrel, including the standard barrel that is not included, contrary to the description. The marker also does not include the bottomline, which requires you to either use the remote coil at all times or mount the tank, in a vertical position, in place of the front grip handle.Overall, I am very satisfied with the product itself. I am just very angry that I had to pay extra to order these parts from Tippmann which were not included in the kit as specified or implied.

Honestly if you are trying to get into paintball but want to buy and use your own gun. Then this one here is by far one of the best due to its price, reliability, overall build, almost maintenance free (still needs to be cleaned here and there), and its simplicity. Nothing else needs to be said other than that. I have dropped it, used it in muddy areas with and without rain, and cleaned it once internally since I bought it. I love it!!
