You should clean your gun after every game or so. Take it apart, Oil your o rings and clean out any paintball debris.

Read the stickies in the new player section and in the matenience and repair. http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=163 015&PN=1  and http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=623 00&PN=1 for sure.

If you have you manuals then you should be fine. If not just go to the company website and get the manual off there. Just make sure you dont lose any parts, so open it up on a sheet or something that covers a large area so you wont lose anything.

Ya just watch out for springs flying out it sometimes happens when you open them up. Once you have done it a few times it becomes extremely easy.

eveyone is scared about opening there markers for the first time, but
don't worry, it is easy. Also if you do lose a spring or what have you
tippmann is more than happy to help you out, usually at no cost to you.

The sear spring is the one you need to keep an eye on. The drive spring is unlikely to shoot out very far, and if it does it's big enough that it's easy to find. The sear spring won't be an issue however until you take apart the grip frame, which you don't need to do as often as the full marker. Do it anyways though, just to familiarize yourself with it. Same goes for the cyclone if you want. Just remember that with the cyclone, things can and probably will shoot out if your not careful. Getting it back together is also a bit trickier than the rest of the marker, but you rarely need to take apart the cyclone.

A5s are great in many ways, not the least of which is the ease with which they are dis- and reassembled.
