Hey guys. My name's Mike, I'm new around here, and I just recently got into paintball.
I ordered the Tippmann A-5 with Egrip through a local dealer, and I have a quick question.
Does the A-5 gun come with the A-5 standard hopper? I ordered it through a local retail shop, and was told that they were placing the order through the Tippmann factory in Arizona, so if Tippmann shipped me an A-5, is it going to show up with the hopper or am I going to have to buy that seperate?
Also, like I said, I'm new to the sport, and for now I'm into woodsball, though speedball looks like fun. What do you recommend my first upgrade be on the A-5? Flatline barrel? Double trigger?
Thanks. |

I am ot 100% sure, but most likely there will be a hopper in the box with your gun. My 98 custom came with a hopper and I ended up with 2 hoppers cause I bought 1 that was part of a package. I think all tippmann guns come with hoppers, but I could be wrong. -------------

Well every website I found that sells the gun sells it WITH a 200 round A-5 standard hopper, so I was assuming it came with it, just didn't want any bad surprises. |

It should come with a hopper, if it doesn't call tippmann say your hopper broke and they should ship you one.

My A5 shipped with a hopper and as far as I know they all do.

they do come with the hopper, but id get an x7 hopper. its more low profile and looks better IMO. as far as upgrades id start out with a 12-14" barrel and a remote coil. a stock is good to have too but id shoot it a little without one first before you go get one ------------- Once you hear the shot, it's already too late...

Yes, they do come w/stock hopper. best money can buy for upgrade: 14'inch J&J barrel & no longer. I highly suggest to try it out first before buying flatline.
Be careful with those double trigger, try it out at the local store first before buying them. Not all the double trigger will work w/e-grip. (i've had bad luck with those standard double trigger). I've hered about good feedback on those "Ape double trigger". Its pretty expensive, but walking your A-5 at speed ball, priceless. -------------
