They can't be serious. I think it may be a hoax. There doesn't even apear to be anythin new except the paint. The barrel is even the same (which IMO Tippmanns ought to be sold w/o barrels as an option due to the crappy barrel). Anyway, I'll be dissapointed if that is the new marker. ------------- Founder of the "Forumers Against the Ugly Woman Sigs" also known as FAUWS. |

The whole new A-5 thing is probably exactly what they did years ago with the Model 98. They made internal and external improvements on it and put it on the market as the 98 Custom (and yes, it was offered in other colors too). So everyone who's saying they're dissapointed should just pucker up and sit tight. hashi2008, people most likely said the same thing about the Custom 98 when it came out, but what they didn't realize was all the internal improvements you don't see in a picture. You can't judge it by some craptastic picture on Ebay. I'm looking forward to the new A-5, because it can only be better than the original, that's what happens when they spend time and money improving it. ------------- It seems like all the cool cats do this: Custom 98, Flatline, r/t, CAR stock, custom camo paintjob, which every hopper I feel like putting on it, vertical adapter, oh dibs, I'm running out of charact |

Half of me wonders if they monitor forum activity. I wonder what would happen if the forum was silent for a week. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/DBibeau855/?chartstyle=myspacecolors">

Well, its ebay, so you cant even be sure the guy is at the same intellegence level as us. And perhaps hes using the term "new A-5" reffering to the fact that the A-5 is a newer model over the M98 or 98C -------------

if you look it comes in a package deal,actually 3 package deals,and they all have normal hoppers,not the cyclone ones,so either its a new gun,or someone on that site doesnt know what there doing ------------- signature |

I like the silver A-5. But I doubt that thats the new one because the only difference is that the gun is a different colr. Ha comes out Mar 10th?
