I had a question for owners of the A-5. Could you tell me any good or bad experiences you have had with your A-5? Also any problems you have encountered.

It's way overpriced! Get a 98c + an eggy and you have the same gun for less.

Being that it doesn't chop paint or mis-feed, I have noticed an increase in my paint usage(16,000 rds in 2 seasons and counting) which kinda dips into my wallet...wait I own a paintball store. ;)

The only problemI have heard of is the Cyclone malfunctioning(I have an older on and have not had this problem), which is an easy fix. Other than that, no problems.

The valve in my gun leaked when I first got it. I just made a call to Tippmann and I had a new one by the end of the week.

and the only difference between the pro/carbine and the 98c is that they look different.:rolleyes:
