1. Take off scope
2. Take off gas through grip (adds alot of weight and makes the gun fat) 3. i know the drop is for comfort but try a shorter drop for some sholder support with ur comp tank. 4. Can u tell me where you got ur tippmann stickers? i would give it a 6/10. and im with ya on the a-5 for speed i use it and rip. ------------- Tankdude |

read the intro sentences in the link I provided. Its from pb 2 xtreme mag. They have a page full of those stickers. Gas thru is there for my hand, I actually use it for handleing the marker. The front grip wieghs next to nothing so I just keep it on for looks. Scope is for woods, I'm too lazy to take it on/off. Drop is great and I have a great comfort in firing it, I got a long drop because of the tank's length. My Egrip JCS trigger is adjusted so its about the pull of a mouse click. |

yeah mines a mouse click too, but u might want some shoulder
support when (if) you start tounrney ballin(if you dont already) because the a5 has so much kick on the high pressure and with a back bolt that weights a million pounds. i donno im not gonna dis ur drop because its a comfort thing but just postin an idea. ------------- Tankdude |

I find it amusing that people list an upgrade on the A-5 as being the Cyclone feed, as if it's some fancy aftermarket part that they paid for.
And that drop is ridiculous. I used to use a drop that long and after switching to a shorter one, only then realized just how limiting it was. And those stickers, why, just why does a Tippmann need Tramua stickers on it? ------------- Which falls faster, a lead ball or your IQ after reading some of these posts? http://www.pennstatepaintball.com" rel="nofollow - PSU Paintball |

You're crazy! I used to play speed with my A-5 and countless times I was marked on the hopper. It seems I don't have that problem with my Angel or my friend's Shocker. ------------- ! ! ! ! ! ! |

*edited out because it was unnecessary*, because it is just as boring as every other Tippmann that almost everyone else posts here.
I don't know, maybe I am just biased because I put so much time into modifiying my own equipment but that it really is pretty lame. But hey, I guess if it works for you, then I shouldn't rag on you. As long as you aren't like the rest of the retards who think because they dumped $1000 into a starter gun they have the most 1337 thing in the world I will have to respect that. ------------- Which falls faster, a lead ball or your IQ after reading some of these posts? http://www.pennstatepaintball.com" rel="nofollow - PSU Paintball |

Ok I personally don't think a-5's can be used for speedball. But that is what I think, I would much rather use my angel. Anyway it does look pretty nice actally and if you like using it for speedball the more power to you. ------------- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v467/paintballa01/d58a8ce5 .gif Angel Ir3 Cp barrel kit A4 board Cobra trigger |

Why not? ANY marker can be used for paintball. I have used my A-5 on the speed/hyperball fields, and more than held my own, thank you very much. And that was against Shockers, Impys and Angels. If you can aim and move effectively, you can play speed/hyperball with ANY marker you are comfortable with. You don't have to spend $1,400 to play the game. A paintball has no clue what it is being shot out of, and while 18 bps is nice, it requires only one hit to take someone out. Marker snobbery MUST END! It is HURTING THE GAME! |

Me and TankDude rock it up palyin speed vs teams that have all $1k+ guns and we roll them. Why do people say that the hopper stick out to much, I don't think it does because it may be off to the side but it isnt way up high on a centerfeed with a feedneck and all that. Don't be hatin of Tank or anyone who plays speed with tippmanns. if you do flame people who use tippys for speedball then get the frick out of the tippmann forum.
