| I got an A-5 becuse I heard about how accurate and fast they are, but when I shoot my paintballs they like corkscrew around... could this be a velocity or paintball problem or should I do something? |

Is your barrel clean? Are you using 3 moth old paintballs?

velocity spikes, paint/barrel match, wind. Allot effects the accuracy
of a paintball. Remember it's not a real gun and will never have the
accuracy of a real fire arm. (well at least for the moment)

| Are you using your stock barrel? |

Date Posted: 11 January 2006 at 8:23pm
^^ya the stock barrel is bad try and get something longer about 14''
have you even used an A-5 |
Posted By: Ilford Rule
Date Posted: 11 January 2006 at 8:52pm

14" is a good length ya... anything longer (maybe not 16 but anything above that definitely) will just eat up gas and not really improve accuracy much. 16 is the limit, 14 is good. ------------- CPro (w/ polished internals) 14" Bigshot BT SBS Various Rails NcSTAR D4B Macro AA 68/45

| And still you fail to state why an A-5 is a bad purchase. |
Posted By: yesr

right ok i think the a-5 is a bad purchase because its heavy the stock barrel is rubbish the cyclone feed dont even work and it is am utter complete air hogger but thats my view soo |
Posted By: hobojoe

| How does the cyclone feed system not work? It really doesn't hog up much air, the cyclone is driven by mostly recycled air. You stated you liked every other gun but do you like the Factory F/A, it was kinda like an A-5 since it had an earlier version of the cyclone thing on it too. |
