Tippmann A-5 Stealth

Don't get it! The flatline barrel is the MAIN selling point on this marker. Just some FYI on this barrel. Yes it Might fire a few more feet due to the "spin"on the ball. But can you hit anything with it? Most of the time no. I have found people who use this Marker are "spray and pray" paintballers (I used it for a few games and didnt care for it one bit). My suggestion is this:

1) Go to a pawn shop (or look in classifieds) get an A-5 for $75.-$100.00 (or search online for great deal it doesnt have to be brand new...trust me on this it's a TIPPMANN).

2) Search online for a decent stock $20-$35.00

3) Rob someone for a "Rampage Board" $50.00

4) Reach out for a Remote line $20.00

5) Bag a Barrel like J&J edge (cheap and shoots good) $75.00

So for about $280-$300.00 you can have a better set up (IMO) then the standard "Stealth" set up. AND you saved money!!! It may not be shiney and new but ask others if ya clean it oil it and love it....it will work awesome for ya! Anyhow thats my 2cents.

Peace out!

 

I see Tipps in pawn shops all the time. A-5s and 98s. I however am also in a Miltary town so there is alot of people who get in and out. Plus people sell paintball gear on other sites aside from overstock and ebay all the time for dirt cheap. Ya just gotta look. As far as the "spray and pray" alot of sites that offer the stealth give an egrip or rt set up.

Im selling a tippmann a-5 used only 5 times with tons of ups including

-expansion chamber tippmann

-flatline

-lapco bigshot 12"

-c02 tank 20 oz

-remote line

-oils and greases plus manuals of course

- scott mask cost me 70 dollars, forgot what its called, its in my basement with other paintball stuff

-4 and 1 pod plus co2 tank holder

-stock a-5 barrell

-2 barrell condoms

Im only asking 350 dollars and this thing is almost brand new and has been cared for meticulously after EVERY day of firing

that's a great deal but no selling on the forums but i would consider it if it was posted on like ebay or something and i wanted an a5 stealth because im more of a one shot one kill player not a sniper i prolly would not get an e grip but maybbe in the future and i hate people who are spray and pray that shows no skill

1. That's just wrong. (In a disturbingly funny kind of way.)

2.  I guess that mean's he'll be waiting a few years before you can start paying?

If it were me though, I would pick up an A5 and JJ Ceramic and use the cash leftover to buy upgrades that I wanted.

 

BACKED

Just remember Tipps are the ezist marker to upgrade on the planet (well for the price you pay that is).

Most of the people I play with have flatlines on there 98s and there good barrels unless theres more than a little wind. But I would say get the gun if thats what you want because you can always sell the barrel and buy a different one if you dont like it.
