Tippmann A5?

[Ground_zer0]

I was just lookin around thru paintball sites I havent viewed in a while and I saw Tippmann has released a new gun. It seems to be modeled somewhat after the H&K MP5. It also has a wierd shaped mechainical powerfeed system. It looks nice to me cept I'd prefer a standard feed version that i could warp if I wanted.

Well, this is kinda' old news.... But.... The general consensus is that it's not worth buying. You can't use a different hopper, and that hopper is pretty awkward. Plus, Tippmann decided to use more plastic on this gun than their earlier ones. For that price you could get a Mag, or maybe a Cocker for a little more (and that's what I'd suggest). If you're really dying for a Tippmann, get a Custom 98 and slap on some upgrades.
