Would you like some cheese?

Many people whine about their marker. 

Many people also ask the same boring question: "Is the A-5 a good gun?" (They should call it a MARKER)

Many people attach long analyses about the A-5. 

Let me set you all straight...

The A-5, in my opinion, is one of the best markers on the market.  One thing that the A-5 has that no other marker in the world has is the Cyclone feeder.  It saves you over 130$ on a better hopper.  The A-5 simply CANT be starved!

The A-5 has a great feel to it.  It mixes style with real-life, practical looks.  Do you see special forces with guns that look like ray-guns that are all funky colors? 

The A-5 has an intimidating look.  The name sounds cool too. 

Accuracy?  For 50$, I put a 16" barrel on my A-5, and it is WAY more accurate than my friend's Raven with a 17" barrel. 

Gas friendly?  Is your marker a gas/air guzzler?  The A-5 has a pretty good efficiency.  

Weight?  Unless you want to shove every available upgrade on your A-5, you will have a pretty light marker.  I have stock, a 330rd hopper, a 16" barrel, and even with a 20oz tank, it is still lighter than some of the other markers that I have used.  Weight can make a difference...

Cost...

Cost is a huge burden on newer players.  The A-5 is worth its weight in gold!  You pay about 230$ for a semi-auto marker.  You add 170$ to make it full auto.  you buy a better barrel for 50$.  You put an expansion chamber on it for 35$.  Add it up...

485$ for a marker that will never be starved, extremely accurate, and like I said, worth its weight in gold.  Other markers you can buy for this same price.  Ok... they shoot faster...  There was a famous General who said that he disliked the idea of full auto since it promoted bad aim.  Mind you, this was when the BAR (Browning automatic rifle) was made.  So you may or may not agree with this general, but the A-5 is definitely great as both semi and auto.  You wont need to buy a 130$ hopper for the A-5.  So, for any other marker that costs 500$, you need to add another 130+ to make it work!  Then, you dont have the same upgrade capabilities as the A-5...

 

Oops.. Call me a hypocrite.  I wrote a sort of long post... Well... Its all true.  I hope this shuts up some people up.  I dont know how many PMs I have got asking for what I have just answered... 

Bye for now...

I liked the joke at the beginning..

Beer>wine,

But all tippmanns are great STARTER guns. Butt i never really liked the cyclone.

i personaly do not like the a-5. every1 that has an a-5 plays woodsball (most of the time). then they get out on the speedball feald and try to tell me how to play, but that is beside the point. the a-5 is hevay copaired to most guns, slow, and i dont like the hopper. but it is a great woodsball gun and starter gun.
