Well, today two decisions have arisen for me in the world of paintball... My gun:
So here are the decisons I have...
And don't just say keep the A-5 because i'm on the Tippmann forum, i'm looking for better performance, I will be playing woodsball and speedball, and remember don't just say "oh stay with the Tippmann" because you like yours, or "Oh get the autococker" because you like yours, i'm looking for real answers, and please explain your answers, thanks a million in advance. ------------- Somewhere I Belong...

Ok are you crazy keep the A-5 its a nice gun! Get nitro for it! You would just be loseing alot of money if you sold the a-5, you can upgrade the a-5 so that its just as good as the autococker! ------------- New Black Matrix. |

Well i don't have a cocker or an a5, but i'd say keep the a5. You've got a lot of money in it already anyway. Cockers are nice, but they don't have the same rugged look and feel of the a5. Instead of getting the cocker, why not just spend the money on a nice HPA tank. Just go with option #2. -------------  irc.esper.net #paintball |

a-5 because
its very customizable and upgradeable(i think it will soon be THE most upgradeable gun on the market) VERY durable and reliable can get great customer service from tippmann fast enough you can still buy other upgrades you have a lot of money into it. thses are more personal reasons the feel of an a-5,I love it! the loook, ability to make it a mil-sim. wim just wondering, ehy couldnt you buy other ipgrades if you bought a cocker? |

Keep the A5, you've already put alot of upgrades in it, and if you buy the Autocockers you won't have any money, so you can't buy anything for two years, which would really sucks. ------------- =Guns don't kill people, the government does= C-I Paintball Demo Expert/Support Gunner/Tech Guy |

My guess is that you really want the Cocker and you have a parent talked into buying it with the consession that you won't ask for anything else because it is such a huge cost.
It's tough to be 14 and use logic to determine what to do, because sometimes logic tells us to do things that we really don't want to do. Think of this... NOTHING FOR TWO YEARS!!! That is huge! Two years! You're saying, I'll take the cocker but I'll screw myself for two years. Look, your A-5 is set up really nice. It's alot like mine. It's stable, reliable, "FULLY AUTOMATIC", and accurate. It will do anything you ask it to unless you're going to go pro. My advice is to save the money, get the HPA... definately get the HPA! But I wouldn't trade two years for a cocker. What will it do better than what you already have? It's a high end name. Can it shoot farther? No. Can it shoot faster? I doubt it. It's shiny. Think about it and decide. Good luck. ------------- Crusader Tippmann A-5 Flatline, Broomstick, and Snapshot E-Grip 68/4500 HPA VForce Morph face saver |

Keep the A5 and go fer the HPA. You can always save the 2-16oz co2 tanks and sell them to someone else or sell them on ebay. ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

| keep the a5 and really not bcuz it is a tippmann, bcuz its very durable and it (or mine) can shoot as fast as some speedball guns and i just like the look of the gun, its not all pretty aluminum like the other guns its just a rugged gun that will last forever, plus, i like the way the cylone feed is, i mean u dont need to buy an electric hopper, plus u dont need to worry about chopping balls, its a great innovation, and it looks alot better than a big giant hopper sticking out of a 1 inch tube, way off the top of ur gun, i luv how the a5 looks with the hopper its nice and low pro...its just different than any other gun... |

the cocker a5s are good, but cockers just have a different feel<a
better one, with less kick>. and the accuracy is the best on the
cocker. -------------

OK, thought I should put my 2 cents in even though it is pretty much the same as everyone else. I say keep the A-5. You have alot of money in it already and I've seen how they shoot, and I will probably end up getting one soon, and keeping my 98C (but I apparently have more money than you because I just spent a good $400 on my gun and still am planning on buying an A-5 within 2 weeks). I just love the look and feel of an A-5. Plus it's a very durable rugged gun. ------------- Tippmann 98 Custom: 14" J&J Ceramic 32* Car stock w/RVA Dye Sticky 3's (Blue) Response Trigger VL eVLution II loader Polished Internals 1993 Taurus SHO MTX |

uh..........you do know that autocockers are one of the best(if not the best)performing guns. I say sell your A-5 and go with a 2k3 vert autococker or an automag. -------------

Stay with the A-5, it is a very good gun. You have already made as good
if not better than a cocker. It also comes with its own C02 powered hopper so you don't have to go out and buy one of the expensive electric hoppers. An the cockers don't even have a sight and the hopper couldn't be in a worse spot. I say stick with the A-5 and you wont be disappointed with your decision. I hope you have think about it alot before you go selling you A-5. You'd be loosing money anyway because used stuff is not as good as new stuff so you might even loose up to 200 dollars on all your equipment. Have fun! 133t -------------

What? Not only is this not urgent, but we can only give answers based on our own experiances. What are we supposed to say!? Get the A-5 because we hate our A-5 or get the Autococker because we hate it! So you want us to tell you what to get but not base it on our experiances?

Well from the looks of your A-5 you put a bunch of parts in your gun already so why sell it for something that is stock. Go with the Nitro since you have to much invested already. Especially since you are getting ur license soon you dont want to get a good gun but still have to get new parts just to be the same as ur A5. ------------- Every drop of blood,Every bitter tear,Every bead of sweat,I live for this!
