New Tippmann A-5

[paintsprayer]

i was sent an e-mail from www.paintball-online.com/shop about new specials and stuff, and there is the new tippmann there. it looks kinda like the M98 only slighlty different and there is this huge ugly thing hanging off the side. what they say this thing does is kinda like what a warp does, only it's built onto the gun. i think this gun will be very unsuccesful becuase people who want a tippmann will probably not want to pay $350, and anyone who wants to pay $350, will probably want a mag or cocker.

how do you spell successful? i used it like 20 times in this post.

Flop like a fish..
I mean really... who is gonna buy a gun you cant use a REV on..

I think newbs will love it. I know 2 people who are saveing up for it and lots of people who think it so cool. I also think senaryo(how do you spell that)players will like it. But I dont think tourney players will use them.

[56kSomeGuy]

A lot of sanario players would want this gun since it looks a lot like a mp5. Also many ppl like tippmanns cause they are dependable and reliable(like automags). So i voted they would do moderatly successful.

LOL Okay.... to clear things up.. it is spelled...

SCENARIO

My wife was dieing reading your posts. LOL

[56kSomeGuy]

Need to fix the spell check on the AO forms. Im not a spelling B champion.

[BlackVCG]

The spell check feature is no longer free and we voted not to continue using it, so use a dictionary or paste your post in Word and have it spell check before you post it.

Also, please reduce your sig image below 15K please or use it only once per thread.

Actually we are using a friends FA to make a Warp adapter for this type of feed system. Basically since it just takes a mass of balls and feeds them like a bubble gum machine, you can just dumb paint into the hopper adapter. So we are trying a funnel type device turned up-side down with the feed tube coming into the small opening on the bottom.
So if you can mount the warp to this to do away with the weird looking hopper, it might not be that bad.

That hopper is REVOLUTIONARY my friends. It is poweded by a ram that is powered off of blowback gas. That emans EVERY shot fired loads another ball. and it doesnt have a little blade liek the revvy that just MIXES the balls, it has a star shaped cog that chambers balls. So it will feed right down the the last ball... whereas hte revvy will jsut bobble the last few round a bit. It has been proven at 16+ BPS and it has features like that of the intellitframe and a revvy bulit it; it feeds one ball per pull.

i think alot of the newbs, and people that dont wand w real high end gun will get them so i picked moderatley succesful

[PaintSniper02]

i know for a fact that this thing is going to be very sucessfull for if u put a thin 9oz directly into the asa instead of the bottom line and put on the folding stock (that i'm sure will be out soon), then it will feel and look just like an MP5-PDW. Then with an e-kit, u have the ultimate rec and scenario marker.

this thing is going to be awsome, and if i didn't already have an awsome mag, i would get one.

I think the loading system is great. It requires no batteries and is faster than the current gen revs.

[paintsprayer]

wow, maybe you guys are right. i'm defenetly reevaluating my opinion.

[Interceptor]

My local shop got one in and I saw it last night. That thing is sweeeet! Who needs a revy when your gun already has a feed system on it?

[jeffremiller]

Mine is on the way!!!!

I'm looking at it as a scenario marker and doing the 9 oz direct tank and trying to find a folding stock. If you look at the HK website... It looks like the same backplate...even the screws are in the same place! Once I get it, I'll build/find a folding stock!
