It is a good noob gun. It can be modified numerous ways to enhance looks and performance depending upon your personal tastes. However, if you get into speedball, you may find it somewhat lacking compared to the higher end speedball markers. If your game is woodsball, you will be very happy with the A5 for a long time.

Welcome to the forums!

The A5 is a great starter gun as well as a veteran gun. There are tons of upgrades that you can put on it and it is a very reliable gun.

Check www.pbreview.com 's field locator to find fields near you. Check them out and meet some new people.

How long before this becomes another 98 or A5 debate? I'm going to guess not long. Anyway, whatever you might soon read, remember they are both great gun's. I and many other members have both. Also, most questions you might have can be answered using the search function. Welcome to the forum!

OMG! there are smart people out there!!!

And yes the A5 is a great gun for beginners, but if you can try before you buy, if you go to a store and see how it feels to hold the gun you get a different perspective of it.
