Tippmann A-5 Tech Help: Air Efficiency

"At the moment I have an Tippmann A5 paintball gun with a response trigger running it on CO2. It seems that after 7 pods the tank goes empty (cyclone stops turning). There is no sign of leaking CO2, I have fresh O-rings on it. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated."

"I assume you have a 20oz tank, and the average pod holds what? 100? So you are not doing that bad with 700 shots. Tippmann A5 paintball guns are CO2 hogs."

"You assume correctly. I didn't know it was that bad. I know there are cyclone mods, and minor adjustments that can be made. But I was wondering if there was anything that can really turn this eating consumption down."

"If you get a regulator and a LPK you can get to as low as 300psi. Unregulated, you're probably at 750psi or higher."

"Tippmann A-5 paintball gun use more C02 per shot because of their Open Bolt Blow Back design. I can't decide if your blaming the Cyclone for eating up C02 or if you're stating that the Cyclone mods will help you achieve more shots per tank...

The Cyclone (& Response Trigger) is/are operated by excess gas that gets used to reset the bolt. Therefore it doesn't use anymore C02 to operate the Cyclone than it would if you didn't have a Cyclone on your Tippmann A-5 paintball gun. Their are upgrades for your Cyclone that will allow it to operate at a lower pressure, which will result in more shots per tank.

If you want to lower your Tippmann A-5 paintball gun's C02 usage you will need to by a Rear Spring kit. These work by determining how hoard the rear bolt hits the Valve pin, allowing you to unscrew your Velocity Screw as far as possible yet still shoot at 280+/- fps."

Tippmann A5 Cyclone Maintenance
How to disassemble the Tippmann Cyclone feeder system

Ideal Paint for Tippmann A5 Paintball Gun

I have a tippmann a5 and I switched from a flatline barrel to a 20 inch sniper barrel. However, I was playing saturday, it was like 55 degrees and crappy out, and I used Evil paintballs and had constant chops. The ref told me the ballswerent meant for cold weather and I dont know wheher to agree with him or not. Can someone please tell me some good paintballs for the tippmann a5 that will shoot straight and not chop?

"Evil paint is a brittler paint used more in guns with a lower operating pressure. Your paintball gun runs a approximately psi most tournament level guns run at about psi-psi. Add to that the fact that the cyclone feed is not to friendly with brittle paint and you got trouble. Plus flatlines are not to gentle on paint to the sharp angle of the barrel.

Another words you need to use thicker shelled paint. A good thicker shelled high end paint would be RPS All Star. A cheaper option would be RPS STINGERS. I would also recommend WPN Weapons Grade. Also i heard good thing about ZAP Spank."

"Zap Spank is a excelent paint for cold weather. Proball also has a good paint that is spacifically designed for cold weather. Paints like, Evil, Chronic, DXS Bronze and Bushido all have very brittle shells. You have two things that are working directly against you, maybe three. First off, the Tippmann A-5 is more of a durable paintball marker that was designed for woodsball and scinerios. It is built to shoot paint for that type of play. The Cyclone feeder, although reliable, is very rough on paint. You need a thicker shelled paint just to get past your feeder. Secondly, a 20" barrel could be an issue. If you do not have a really good ball-to-bore compatibility, the extended length will cause more friction, or cuase the ball to bounce more off the inside of the barrel. Both scinerios will bust alot of balls. The third thing, are you shooting HPA or CO2? Evil is designed for HPA. CO2 alone will bust the paintball. If shooting CO2, a longer barrel will freeze fairly quickly if you shoot alot and cause more paintballs to break. What brand of barrel do you have?"

"We use PMI/RPS Marballizer Paintballs for the Flatline barrel. They seem to perform well in colder weather too. We are a Wisconsin team and commonly play in cooler temps. I think the Marbs fly a little farther with the Flatline too."

"Yeah, Evil isn't meant for cold weather and rec paintball markers. Try some RPS Stingers or Polar Ice if it gets colder. Sterling Ice is also a good option for coldweather recballing. Also be sure that the paint is a good fit if you can. The best way I think to test for is the ball is a good fit is if when you put a paintball in it you can blow it out relatively easy. If it gets stuck or it rolls out it isn't the right size. That might have been why you were chopping."

"I use nitro and have a smart parts 20 inch tactical barrel now."

For the fourth year in a row, Tippmann Sports, based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, will be the Official Paintball Marker Sponsor of the Scenario Paintball Players' League (SPPL). Tippmann signed on as top-level Platinum Sponsor for 2008, contributing more than $20,000 to the total season prize package.

new to paintball, what tippmann paintball gun should i get?

"I personally love Prolites and 68-carbines, which can still be found on ebay quite cheap. Most people will point you in the direction of a tippmann 98 custom as a first gun. I'm not fond of their ergonomics but I can attest that they'll go through literally millions of rounds before something goes wrong."

"Out of anything Tippmann has ever made, I'd have to cast my vote for the Pro/Carbine's as well. If you want something that IS still in production, then the Tippmann A5 paintball gun is probably a good choice. I'd steer clear of the Tippmann X7 paintball gun and their newest Army gun whatever it's called. The quality control on those seems to be lacking."

"I agree with all of the above. The Tippmann 98 custom will be the easiest tippmann semi to work on but the SL will be the easiest of all. In my tear down kit for the SL I have a 1/2" dowel rod for popping out the valve and a 3/16"(?) wrench and thats all. I can pull a sl apart in about 15 seconds if I practiced enough. I could have it back together in less than 30 and I am positive about that.

But you might never "need" to take it more apart than removing the barrel and bolt.

The guns mentioned in the other posts are bomb proof.

I cant reccomend the Tippmann A5 paintball gun especially for a beginner."

"Having owned a couple tippmann a-5's i'd honestly recommend them as a beginner (no offence chem-x)

they seem to work well and you just need to put a couple drops of oil in them every once in awhile, and with the cyclone you shouldnt have to worry about out shooting the gun and chopping that way (barrel breaks could happen but that depends on paint)

the only thing ive found complex on some is the vert air adapter with the oring,washer and spring other then that you shouldnt have any problem with disasembly and assembly plus they are very upgradable

hope this helps and if youve got any questions feel free to shoot me a pm"

"Having owned/used Tippmann 98's, A-5's, and Pro/Carbines, I like the Pro/Carbine the best. Better construction (extruded aluminum vs cast aluminum) which leads to better tolerances and thus better consistency and performance. They are absolute tanks. I've never seen one go down. The local field still has a few left in the back as emergency rentals. Recently at a big scenario, they ran out of rental 98's and loaned out some Carbines. They obviously hadn't been serviced or used in ages, and yet they all worked flawlessly. The rental 98's, though used more and maintained more frequently, had more issues. The A-5's I've seen have had more issues yet.

If you are looking for sheer reliability, the Pro/Carbine is champ. But it suffers from a heavy trigger pull (can be fixed with new springs), few aftermarket parts, and it is out of production so it might be harder to find.

My order of recommendation is Pro/Carbine, Tippmann A-5 paintball gun, then 98. The A-5 comes before the 98 because it has the cyclone feed, which when working properly, will allow you to shoot basically as fast as you can pull the trigger.

If you just want to get an easy to find gun, go play, and have some room for the marker to grow with you, then I recommend the Tippmann A-5 paintball gun."

"Not to turn this into a vs thread, but personally, I'd go with a Spyder instead of a Tippmann (since that's what I did when I was new). They're not quite as rugged, nor quite as mil-sim'able (if that's what you're going for), but they are ridiculously cheap (<$100 for an electronic or <$75 for a mechanical on eBay NIB) and SUPER easy to maintain. Personally, the only thing I think newer Tippmann's have going for them is the Flatline (and Apex tips now pretty much bring this to any marker you want), durability and Cyclone feed. They are set up so you can run over them with a truck and they still work, but if you ever do need to field strip them (especially 98s) it's a pain. Spyder paintball guns are pull one quick strip pin, slide out internals, swab, lube, reinsert. There are lots of upgrade and customization options available for Spyders, making them a great newbie marker out of the box and something that can grow with you. Anything from aftermarket bolt-ons to Spimmy (electropneumatic, ala Intimidator) and pump conversions can be done.

If you insist on going Tippmann, I'd spring for the A5 with a Flatline. It's very prolific so parts and upgrades are plentiful, you won't need an expensive hopper thanks to the cyclone feed, and while it's newish it's still pretty well proven to be durable. Older models such as the 98 or prolite/carbine are going to be cheaper, but the older you go the more money you're probably going to want to spend on upgrades or peripherals. Also, parts for anything before 98s can be tricky to find. This part is purely my opinion, but the ergonomics are much better than the 98; the A5 is set up to be aimed, the 98 is set up to be shot from the hip Rambo style. I'm a big fan of the much older Tippmanns (SMG, 68 Special, Factory F/A) but I think they started going awry when they tried to "dumb-down" their markers and relegated themselves to rental/newbie status with the 98 series. The A5 is a step in the right direction, although I'm not sure the Tippmann X7 paintball gun and new Alpha are following in it's footsteps.

How much $$ are you looking to spend? That will determine what you can get to some extent."

Tippman paintball guns A5 verses X7

What is the differences between the Tippman paintball gun A5 and the Tippman X7 paintball gun?
Is one better than the other and if I was to get one are the guns that can be safely bought used?
What types of bullets can you use with them?

Tippman A5 paintball guns are very good guns for the beginner and very upgradable as well. Once you start getting the feel for the game and the marker there will be things that you will eventually want to upgrade. The Tippman X7's are basically just a new twist on the A5 as well the internals are upgraded I also think that the Cyclone feed system feeds a little faster than an Tippman A5. Both paintball guns are extremely upgradable.

As for paint they will pretty much shoot anygrade of paint (Except really high end tourny grade that tends to be very brittle) but they are .68 caliber markers so make sure that you use .68 cal paintballs.

As for buying used for the most part they can safely be purchased used with confidence.

The Tippman paintball guns A5 and the X7 are the most user friendly marker. Their operating procedure is real simple. You cant tear one of these up unless your just an idiot. You can throw it in a creek then roll it in the mud and take a wizz on it and it will still shoot. Its truely the workhorse of the paintball industry.

There are no differences in the basic operational design of the A5 and X7. The Tippmann X7 paintball gun has a few stock upgrades over the Tippman A5.

1. The cyclone comes qev stock making it operate just a bit faster and more efficient. Yet only a true critic would be able to tell the difference.
2. The egrip Tippman X7 is direct selonoid. A more efficient design.
3. The Tippman X7 body is magnesium composite making it supposedly lighter than the cast Tippman A5 body. I own both and could not tell a difference. This however makes the marker larger in comparison to an A5.
4. The Х7 has some stock weaver railing in the main body making it able to haul more junk useless milsim stuff.

Now i shoot an A5 and a X7. I love Tippmanns. My Tippmann paintball gun X7 is real nice and i love it. Its reliable and simple to operate and maintain. So is the A5. If your a rec baller, its great. If your lookin to go to big scenario games and really rip some ass, get a tourney style gun. Tippman X7 cannot keep up on the field with tourney guns. I spent about a grand between both Tippmanns before I came face to face with this reality. But I am an aggressive player and am most often found in the front. If your looking to play navy seal sniper, youll be right at home with the Toppman A5 or the X7's milsim capabilities.

The advantages to the Tippmann paintball gun X7 in my opinion are minimal at best. The Tippman X7 drove the price of the A5 down, and I feel that the A5 is the same bang for less bucks...

Pro-Team Products gets patent for Tac Cap

Pro-Team Products is pleased to announce the granting of a design patent for its innovative TAC CAP(TM) "reduced profile loader for pneumatic launcher" design by the USPTO.

Pro-Team Products, a leading design and manufacturer of cutting-edge paintball technologies was awarded design patent #D558280 for the device.

The TAC CAP is an adjustable capacity loader cap designed to fit the Tippmann A-5 paintball gun Cyclone feeder. The Tac Cap can be modified by the user to hold 30, 60 or 90 rounds, and is supplied with a flip-top lid for easy reloading.

The product has become particularly popular with mil-sim players and with military and law enforcement trainers; replacing the standard 200 round magazine with a 30 round TAC CAP restricts the marker to realistic magazine capacities.

Tippmann X7 vs. Tippmann A5

The king of paintball has been dethroned...or has it. For years now new ballers and veteran ballers alike have had a special place in their hearts for the Tippmann A5 paintball gun but the question on the street lately has been will the newest release from Tippmann, The Tippmann X7 paintball gun, conjure up the same cult following that the Tippmann A5 paintball gun has enjoyed for years?

For years now paintballin' guys and gals alike that have just been getting into the sport have gone the A5 route due to its reliability, ease of use and of course the bang for the buck factor. Most people have held onto their beloved A5's as they have progressed in their ability because of the A5's ability to do the same. No matter what your skills are the A5 has the ability to adapt and grow right along with you unless of course your skills have to do with speedball, that's another story).

The recent release of Tippmanns X7 paintball gun came with a lot of hype. It was the first release in history that was a collaboration between a manufacturer and an existing paintball retailer have joined forces to release a gun. The real question is whether or not a collaboration like this is for the best. There is quite a laundry lists of cons that come from a collaboration of this nature, one of the largest is limited mods.

Although Tippmann is claiming that there will be millions of different setups for the look of the actual gun, that is all banking on when Specops decides to release them, because they have exclusive rights to the mods for the X7. Now does "exclusive rights" mean that other manufacturers aren't going to enter the market with some mods of their own, maybe, maybe not. I guess it all depends on the mood of the guys at Tippmann and Specops whether they decide to pursue legal action or not is up to them.

The biggest downside to the Tippmann X7 paintball gun is the lack of control that the paintballers around the world have over the "non-commercialized" customization of the marker itself and that is really where the A5 is still far superior, there are thousands of ways already that you can customize your Tippmann A5 paintball gun and there are no restriction as to who can jump in the market when they create something that is different and possibly cooler than the last guy had created.

With all that said our opinion on the Tippmann X7 paintball gun is that it is overall a good gun. How can you go wrong with Tippmann Reliability right? A couple of the features that we liked the most about it is the scratch resistant plastic, which has gotten some mixed reviews and most especially we like the e-trigger options. Compared to the etrigger options on the A5 where you have to do a lot of holding the button down and waiting for the light to turn and then stand on your head and jump up and down on your left foot, the Tippmann X7 etrigger allows you to switch from safety, to single shot to fully auto while still have the option to fire in three round spurts. Even with all the politics surrounding the gun we feel it is a great gun for beginner to intermediate woodsball players.
