How many variations does tippmann have of this gun? I have two that are slightly different where the air feeds the cyclone and neither has the select style safety.

There are two main different versions of the A5. The Pre-2011 A5 and the current model. These guns differ in the finish and the grip set up. The current version can accept the current H.E. e-grip. There have been several small changes over time such as the sling swivel on the back, oring retention on the barrel adapter, and some cyclone upgrades.
The A5 currently comes in 3 versions. Mechanical, RT, and HE Egrip. You can upgrade and downgrade within these options. |

In 2007 we updated the receiver with two accessories ports for the Cyclone & Response Trigger Kit. In November of 2010 we updated the A-5 to incorporate the following ten upgrades. 1. New
Cyclone Feed System
improved paddle design and connection point is easier on paint and reduces the popcorn
effect, making the Cyclone more reliable in a variety of weather conditions 2. New
External Selector Switch
new trigger design allows players to switch easily from safety to firing mode.
Plus, the new ergonomic design works great for left or right handed players 3. New
Larger Front Grip new
longer front grip has a better feel and incorporates a front tang so, when
removed, upgrades are easier to add to the lower portion of the receiver 4. New
Stock Barrel features a
8.5 high-performance design that is stone-honed to enhance accuracy and incorporates
new porting to reduce marker noise 5. New
Redesigned Internal Bore to
help remove internal components, the receiver features a wider internal bore
design for faster field stripping and easier maintenance 6. New
Lighter Receiver Design
helps reduce the overall weight of the marker 7. New
Tombstone Connections
marker maintenance is now faster and easier than ever 8. New
Sling Mounts removable
front mount makes it easy to add a sling 9. New
Low-Profile Hopper offset
design utilized on the X7 offers a clear sightline 10. New
Black Gas line provides
greater on-field stealth and features heavy-duty construction |
