Hey I herd that the Tippmann A-5 was made of polymer plastic is this true? Because polymer is tuff s*** and can take a beating. The new Kalashnikov series assault rifles use it, like the Ak-101, and so on. |

polymer is a very generic term, almost as broad as plastic.
i think the a5 grip frame/cocking lever/cyclone are made out of some kind of glass reinforced plastic. the only thing i ever worry about breaking is the cyclone cylinder. ------------- Eat The Brisket |

I think you are both right. I think it "may" be glass reinforced polymer. most compainies are going with this stuff. It gets cheaper to make it every year ------------- 1 paintball gun package=$150 1 case of paint=$50 air & entry fee=$15 lighting up newbies all day long= Priceless |
