how many balls per second is an a-5

[CadeRox]

how many balls per second is the A-5 with an e grip? how bout a response trigger?

[ycfan456]

With a single or double trigger?

[CadeRox]

double and single

[Elite virus]

Im pretty sure that it can shoot as fast as you can pull the trigger. (not sure so dont kill me)

[CadeRox]

dude, an egrip or a response trigger makes it full auto. so i think its gonna shoot more than once if i hold down the trigger.

[paintballer667]

On an uncapped board it will shoot as fast as you can. On a capped board, it will be as high as the board will allow.

[AustinGod]

I think its 15, I would sent an email to tippmann and ask.

[macdev_cyborg]

Tippmann claims it does 15 bps, I would absolutely love to see it do that.

[TheSpy11]

The old Tippmann e-grip was 14.25-15 (mine is about 14.25). The newer Tippmann e-grip upped that to the 16-17 range. The W.A.S. board is now at about 30bps.

[Chron72]

My tippmann A-5 (w.a.s. e-grip and flatline) shot 15bps in full auto just fine out of the box. I believe the limit of a non moded cyclone hopper is 17 and you can get it up to the low 20's with the cyclone mods based on what i remember reading.

Also like thespy said, the board limit is 30 bps so if you replaced the cyclone with a halo-b it would shoot as fast as it feeds, i dont see why it being a tippmann would change this.

POSSIBLY 30CPS on turbo, other than that no way.

[ycfan456]

You can't get above 17 without a QEV and some cyclone mods. The W.A.S. can do 30 but no friggin gun can shoot that fast and no friggin hopper can feed that fast.

^^^^Uhhh...that is incorect. You could put on a Q-loader on a WAS Borded gun and shoot as fast as the board can.

Your right. I didn't think about Q-Loaders. They can do 30 at the max. But really, would you want to burn all that paint. You would use up a case in one game!

[J-man the great]

yeah but it would scare the crap out of the other team

[TheSpy11]

I think the max an A-5 has reached was around 25bps or so. It was the mechanical cap of the gun.

[CadeRox]

so lemme get this straight... the a-5 can shoot 15bps stock capability. then it can shoot 30 bps with W.A.S. board?

[Cpt. Morgan]

No. The mechanical limit of the gun actually being able to fire paint without chopping sits at about 25-bps. The WAS board can shoot 30-bps but a Tippmann will never reach that without going EP (e-bolt). The stock cyclone feed system can feed to 17 bps. But with a QEV it can feed 23-bps or so.

Its like uncapped boards on high end guns. They are over kill. No gun has a uncapped rof.

Tippmann guns can shoot in the mid 20bps range (98's) to low 20bps (A-5) at MAX. No more because Blow backs just can't handle that kind of speed. It is also a very sloppy higher ROF because of the kick of the gun. I'd never take a Tippmann over 18-bps or so. But it can be done

[TransNone13]

I routinely use mine at 20BPS auto without chopping. I'm not sure about semi ROF, but for a tippmann it can really rip on semi as well.

A-5 or 98?

[TransNone13]

It's an A5. I'm going to sell it shortly as I buy a speedball marker, but here's what it is:

Freak Kit
Eclipse QEV
Richochet hopper w/ cyclone
JCS RED hot power tube and delrin bolt
JCS Trigger
WAS Board
Shotech Drop FOrward and Grip
PHAT air systems 6 stage expansion chamber
Spring Kit

[Cpt. Morgan]

Alot of that stuff their is iffy but that could easily pull 20bps or so.

[TransNone13]

Iffy?

[Cpt. Morgan]

The power tube and x-chamber serve no purpose but other then that. Pretty sick set-up.

[IronCorps]

The only thing that limits the rate of fire of the A5 is the cyclone. QEV'ed it can do 25max. Mechanically speaking, the marker has the capability to pull in the lower 40's, just as all blowback markers do. However, due to the weight of the hammer of the A5, you would need a 850 output, high recharge rate, air tank. Co2 wouldnt keep up due to pressure drops after 15bps (sustained).

[TransNone13]

Yeah, I haven't been able to use my marker below 70 degrees. Freezes up :-/.
