Review on Tippmann A-5 .68 Caliber Paintball πŸ”« Marker: Durable and Versatile Equipment for Tactical Gameplay by Reginald Hamilton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

only costs $175 so you have the money to upgrade it with a mechanical trigger then it's as good as the Phantom X-7 which costs $400

After hours of searching hundreds of pistol reviews I chose the Tippmann A-5. Here's why: Pros: - Price is only $175, so if you have the money to upgrade it with a mechanical trigger, it's as good as the Phantom X-7, which costs $400. - Speed, I can compete with kids who have guns for $400-1000. with a mechanical trigger. Cleaning. The A-5 doesn't have as many parts as other paintball markers, so it's easy to repair. I can disassemble, clean and reassemble in (+/-) 30 minutes. - Customization, there are hundreds of videos on YouTube showing how to integrate 89 pieces or other paintball pieces. A shotgun with a stock barrel is worth nothing. This will make your gun shoot like crap. Spend $120 on a two-piece freak barrel with interchangeable inserts. WHY? you can only fire at 160psi from a flatline barrel before the bullets start breaking in the barrel. The Apex Barrel lets your balloons fly through the air. The built-in inserts push the ball evenly through the barrel and give it a stabilized flight (this depends on the quality of the paint). - Stock trigger, stock trigger feels loose - No underrail. I want it to come with a bottom rail so I don't have to use it to grab.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
