Tippmann A5 sniper advice

[Derek L]

I'm kind of new to paintball and I want to buy a paintball gun that is accurate (sniper). I thought about buying a Tippmann A5 and upgrade it (with a 16" barrel, a car stock and a scope. Ive seen the NcStar Scope Mount AR15 Tri-Mount Flattop MTRIF and the Tiberius Arms Scope 4X32 Dual Illumination at a low price but does it fit on the A5??). What do you guys recommand me to buy and what should I upgrade in first.

Like I said im new to paintball and I want to play as a sniper.

thx for ur answers

[Ironman289]

You should read some reviews on the products you are looking at. I like the A-5 but you are limited to the cyclone feed. If you were to look at an X-7 there are a few more options.The new Alpha Black is good also and that already looks like and M-16. If you plan on buying a tippmann,they are basically all the same internally. I would look at other stocks. It is hard to use scopes and sights with it. JCS makes one that is fully adjustable and folds to the side for the same price but if you look you can find them cheaper. All the parts you asked about should fit the A-5 along with most other guns. I can already tell you most people will say "get a cp one peice or a J&J" but for what you want (sniper) Id look at smart parts barrels, they are mil-sim and are good quality at a fair price.

[splatface]

A paintball gun itself has nothing to do with accuracy/range. It depends on a good barrel and a good paintball that fits the barrel well.

As long as a gun is going the same speed, using the same barrel, and the same paintball, range will be the same no matter what gun it is.

Scopes have no use in paintball (except for examining an area from a safe distance), because a paintball isn't a bullet, they deccelerate very quick, and won't hit the exact same spot every single shot, especially from far away. To hit people from extreme range, you'd have to lob it (where a scope would have no purpose), and its not likely that a paintball would break on someone from 100+ feet.

You can't buy skill. Therefore, just because you have a good gun and huge barrel and all that jazz doesn't make you a good player. The only way to snipe is to practice and practice until you've mastered the art of longball.

As for a gun reccommendation, you'd have to provide more info. Whats your budget, do you have other equipment ( mask, hopper, tank), do you have access to HPA or CO2, what kind of paintball do you play ( I assume it's woodsball if you want to be a sniper)?

[Derek L]

Yes I'm playing woodsball and I have a budget of 200-500$. The thing is that it would be my first gun but I dont want to buy a cheap one cause I know I will replace it really fast for a better one. Its not like I have no experience in paintball cause I played alot and played with my friends gun. I liked the tippmann thats why I was looking for one of those but if you have any recomendation it would be really helpfull.

I dont have a paintball equipement.

Im looking for a "sniper" gun cause its the gameplay I like and I would like to know what gun and what upgrade you recommand.

Thx for your help its appreciated

[Ironman289]

What splatface says is true, however the flatline and apex will have more range than any other barrel.There is a BIG debate on how accurate they are at the extended ranges. The better the paint matches the barrel the more accurate they will be. I use a scope (9x32) on my gun with a flatline and its dead on at around 200' but I have been using this setup for many years, thats where skill comes in. If you've been playing for a while then you should know what you need (mask tank pods ect) for equipment. A good mask will be the cornerstone of your game. No matter how much skill you have if you cant see you cant shoot so find one that is comfortable and has a thermal lens to prevent fogging. I would really look into the Alpha black, an Apex barrel and either a cyclone or an electronic hopper. Id run co2 unless HPA is easy to get where you play. A good HPA tank will run $100 where a 20oz co2 will be more like $25.

[Derek L]

Thanks alot for your help it's really appreciated

I would like to know whats the difference between a 98c and a A5 and witch one should I get

[splatface]

Internals are very similar, but have different barrel threads, and an A-5 has a built in, air powered force fed hopper (which would prevent chopping). http://tippmann.com/usa/product_guide/default.aspx is tippmann's website. If you go to the 98C/A-5/ABT you can see the features and specifications.

[Lenny17]

As splatface said, the main difference between the A-5 and 98C are mostly cosmetic. The A-5 has the cyclone, but you can add one to the 98C rather easily. They do have different barrel threads, but that doesn't really make much of a difference, because they both have unique threads, you aren't going to be able to carry your barrels over to another marker. But other than that, it's little things - the A-5's front grip is adjustable, it cocks up front and not the side, and I think the A-5 has some e-grip options the 98C doesn't.

But let me back up a step. What is it you are looking for as a 'sniper'? Are you looking for range? Are you looking for accuracy? Or are you looking for quiet? Also, do you care about needing batteries?

It's mostly true that all paintballs fired at the same speed will go the same distance. The exceptions to this are backspin barrels (the Apex and Flatline) and finned paintballs (the Tiberius First Strike paint). The backspin barrels are hotly debated. Some people love them, but others maintain that the increased range comes at the cost of decreased accuracy and less chance of a break. Either way, if you go this route, I really recommend the Apex. It is less paint finicky, and can be adjusted as needed. The Apex can also be attached to any marker, whereas the flatline is a Tippmann only barrel. The Tiberius First Strike paint is new, and uses finned paint to increase range and accuracy. The concept is awesome, but has two main drawbacks - you have to use a Tiberius marker (the T9 with scope and stock runs around $400), and the paint is expensive ($140 for 192 shots, compared to $80 for 2000 high end paintballs). Granted, I believe the T9 can be configured to use both, so you can use the FS rounds only when you need the range, and normal paint for closer ranges. The other issue with the FS rounds is that if you are at a field or event that is field paint only, you can't use them.

For accuracy, really any marker can reach that. The two keys are your paint/barrel match, and the consistency of your marker. Any marker can be upgraded to a good barrel, so that doesn't affect your choice. As for consistency, high end electros and mechanical markers will be better than your basic Tippmann, because they use regulators, better valve systems (and in the case of electros, solenoids) which allow the marker to be very well tuned, so that a paintball is given the same burst of air as the one before it. If you think about it, a paintball fired at 275 fps will not go as far as one that was fired at 290 fps. So if you have that much swing in your consistency, you will never hit the same spot twice. Tippmanns can be modified to be more consistent, but it is expensive, and still not quite as good as a decent high end mech or electro. And keep in mind that I am saying high end electro. A Tippmann with an e-grip does not count.

As far as being quiet, you do not want a Tippmann. I don't care how long the barrel is and how much porting you have on it, they are loud. I always thought my US-5 was quiet, until I fired an autococker. And my BKO is quieter still. Tippmanns operate on very high pressure (800 psi, compared to the 300ish of a cocker and the 200 of my BKO), and whenever a valve opens under that much pressure - POW! So if quiet is what you are looking for, look somewhere else.

My last point is batteries - and this is Tippmann's strong point. The A-5 and 98C are two of the rare markers that don't need batteries. The response trigger uses air to increase rate of fire (rather than a battery and circuitry on an e-grip), and more importantly, the cyclone is the only air-powered force fed hopper. At a minimum, any other marker out there that uses a hopper will need batteries. Maybe this isn't a big deal to you, but it really is the greatest strength of a Tippmann.

Agreed, but...I find a Reddot Sight (non magnifying) greatly improves that one first shot accuracy.

[magdrew2]

just an fyi..a sniper really doesnt exist uunless you are playing very small games in big areas. Dont worry about the schope. to aim generally you adjust. fire your first shot or burst and then adjust to your targer..there are rarely one shot hits.

[pntball sniper]

A sniper really doesn't exist but you can hide really well playing woodsball and get off some nice one shots. I have used a lot of different sniper guns and have used the A5 and the 98 and I still like the 98 much better. like the red dot scope also. Hard to use the long distance scope and the red dot is good from long and short distance.

[Crewdog78]

Sniping in paintball by nature is a very debatable topic for a couple of reasons, primarily because paintball markers have certain limitations that don't apply to real firearms.

First and foremost is the fact that your velocity is generally limited to 300 feet per second as a safety rule. Now if you're playing on private property you can crank it up a bit higher if you want, but I recommend staying at 300fps. Thus one of the bigger contributions to range on a firearm is void because of the fact that you're trying not to kill your opponent.

This also reduces the effect that a longer barrel has on range and accuracy as opposed to firearms. Not to say that a longer barrel doesn't have a positive impact, but it's not as much as you'd expect if you've just been playing FPS games. A sixteen inch barrel will help, but that money might be better spent elsewhere.

Of course then you get into flatline and apex barrels. As it's been explained, the theory behind them is that each puts a backspin on the ball which allows the paintball to increase it's range without an increase in arc or velocity. Which of course is a pretty huge advantage. But on the other hand there are those who feel that they decrease the range and breakability at longer ranges. It's my opinion that since most barrels can't reach those longer ranges anyhow that you're still doing better, but I have yet to use one so I couldn't say for sure how true any of that is. But what I do know for sure is that they are indeed louder, which is counterintuitive to sniping. So it comes down to how much stealth you're willing to sacrifice for that added range, and whether or not that added range is worth it in the first place. That's something I recommend finding out for yourself.

As for a stock, it's really a personal preference thing. Some people like them because they help steady a shot, some people dislike them because they add length and weight. Personally I find that at the ranges that paintball markers typically operate the steadying effect of a stock becomes a lot less pronounced than with real firearms. But I also find that unless you use a remote line, they don't increase the length much farther than the C02 tank, hence it doesn't do much harm length wise. I also find that paintball guns are also light enough where weight rarely comes into account except when dealing with the balancing of a marker, however I prefer to balance out a marker by using either using a bigger or smaller C02 tank. So personally I don't see much use for a stock, but I don't see much reason not to use a stock other than not wanting to spend the money on one. So like I said, whether or not to even use a stock is all about personal preference.

As for scopes, I wouldn't bother with one. With the possible exception of the flatlines and apexes, paintballs just don't fly far enough to need a scope. As for a red dot sight, I haven't used one before but I'd say give one of those a try before a scope.

Now of course the other thing to consider is that buying a marker with the purpose of sniping in mind may not be the best idea. One thing both sides of the paintball sniping debate agree on is that when possible, sniping is not as easy as it looks in the movies or shooter games. It has much more to do with stealth than it does with sharpshooting. An A-5 will do the sharpshooting part, but it's by no means a quiet marker. If you're really wanting to do sniping you should probably forget about trying to pick off bad guys from a mile away and find something quieter.

That being said, I'd recommend forgetting about trying to be a sniper for starters. My recomendation is to try playing more conventional roles first, try getting good at the fundamentals of paintball. Learn how to lay down suppresive fire, learn how to take cover, get good at that stuff first. The good news is that if you decide to play conventionally before trying sniping, the A-5 is a solid marker that you can't really go wrong with unless you try some hardcore speedball. If you find you still want to go sniper after that then by that point you'll be pretty good with the A-5 which you can upgrade from there.

That's my two cents.

Well said.

I've found that most people that say they "want to be a sniper" are really intimidated by the idea of getting up front and personal. While there is certainly something to be said for being able to get someone before they even see you, I've seen too many people that are so caught up in the idea of not being seen they forget to play paintball.

It's also important to remember that at any organized field, paintball is not a 'lone wolf' type of game. Skulking around in the back waiting to find the 'perfect shot' really just leaves you out of the action and your team a man down. In large scenarios or on private land it isn't as big a deal, there is a spot for that person that goes it alone and tries to cause havoc like that. But in my experience, working as a team is the way to go.

This true....... I play alot of sniper, not because I want to but because my team wants me to. I am really good at it. I do get quite a few "one shot" kills but I like being up front BUT as a team we decide what is the best way to overcome our opposition and I always get voted to be the sniper. In fact there have been several games that left me vs almost the whole other team and I pulled out a win. I am in no way the greatest player but when you do something enough you get good at it. If you want to play sniper then do it. I suggest setting your gun up to do more than just be a sniper. You will get into heavy fire situations and your gonna need to be able to fight back. An A-5 with an R/T is a good setup.

[ems]

i do some sniping to and then i also noticed then you go to take in the wind velocity then the fact will this shot show where i am at so sniping isnt an art it is merriely a science

[Corrupted355]

Ugh. One more person says the word "sniper", and I may be forced to physically eat this thread. With plenty of barbecue sauce.

Seriously people, stop it. This is paintball.

Heh, there has been a big resurgence of people wanting to be 'snipers'. Oh well, just more people to sit in the back when I'm up front playing paintball.

[Shadow Wolf1990]

I've notice all the sudden rise in "sniping" talk in the threads lately too, its getting annoying.

[ems]

but some of us marksmen like my self get up in the battle and shoot few rounds but still get plenty of kills but hey i can only work with the 8bps so i got to be accurate

[Ironman289]

but some of us marksmen like my self get up in the battle and shoot few rounds but still get plenty of kills but hey i can only work with the 8bps so i got to be accurate

Ahhh...a true sniper only needs 1......so you are not a sniper your just another "grunt" like the rest of us mil-sim guys.AKA AMBUSH!!!!

[Corrupted355]

OOOOOHH, BURN!!!

But seriously people, can we at least cut back on the "sniper" thing?

[ems]

ok ill stop saying the s word if knowone else brings it up again (which we know some on will)

[Ironman289]

Sniper......was an ok movie,I liked it but it could have been better.

"one shot......two kills...."



ems...you posted before me.This was meant for corrupted as a joke, ya know HAHA/LOL! (BBQ-sauce)

[ems]

what did i tell you all now i got to say it sniper sniper sniper sniper...............................told you i some will say five secounds after what i sed

[ems]

actualy did we ever solve this persons problem cause i think none of us actualy told him what he wanted to know did we?

[Ironman289]

yes BUT I was talking about the movie not what you TRY to do while playing paintball. All in All its still pretty funny.

One shot......I "sniped" you.....just doesnt happen that often to make it true.

[ems]

well i just sed dont know one else bring it up then u did it i had to say it there are reasons for the things i say cause i have to be the way i am .....crazy as **** cause the world woudnt be the same with out me we all need that crazy person and you just a had to say that one word thanks to you Ironmann289 im going to at 10:30 teriosie my neibors to the point that they call the cops but no sir that cop wont find me cause ill be sneeking around so there you sed be happy for bring this down on everyone around me!

[Ironman289]

Ummmm what???.........Are you saying your going crazy and trying to kill your neighbors?I was not trying to insult you by calling you a grunt,thats why I said "like the rest of US mil-sim guys"....If you plan on doing something illegal DONT! And if you do then PLEASE don't involve your paintball gun, thats all we need is another person brining shame to paintball.

By saying something about Sniper (the movie) , I was mearly trying to lighten the mood with a bit of humor.Sorry if you took it the wrong way.

The "sniper" postion is a VERY debated issue and,while I am on YOUR side saying it exists,I also have reasons why it isn't practical.

Hope this clears the air a bit.

[Corrupted355]

Well, I just said that no one else can bring it up, and then you did anyway, so I had to say it. There are reasons for the things I say because I have to be the way I am: crazy as {expletive deleted}. The world wouldn't be the same without me. We all need that crazy person. You had to say that one word. Thanks Ironmann389, I'm going to terrorize my neighbor's to the point where they call the cops. But no cop will find me because I'll be sneaking around. So there. You said it, so be happy that you brought this down on everyone around me!

It literally took me twenty minutes to translate that into English. It's like you learned the language by watching old movies that have been dubbed in Spanish.

Now what kind of sauce would you like? I prefer Jack Daniel's.

I have to say, I know one guy worthy of being called a sniper, if there really is such a thing. He is an army special forces sniper (now serves in the national guard) and has the president's 100 accommodation. He's the real deal... everyone else I've met have been cheap imitations.

I'll tell you what though, I love me some good ambushes. Nothing like popping out behind 6 guys and tagging them all.

It almost makes sense now.......

[Derek L]

Hahaha maybe I used the wrong word to say what I wanted to say. I wanted to know what you guys would recommend as a good accurate gun and what upgrades I should get to be more accurate and maybe gain some range. Im not really looking for a full auto gun cause I prefer to aim before shooting you know. Im good to take cover and to move from different location quickly without beeing noticed.

So finally I have made my decision and bought a A-5 with a 16 inch J&J barrel with an Apex tip (ill probably buy a 12 inch for indoor play), Acog reddot , and a stock (I play with a remote line).

I haven't buy a new grip for the moment but it works fine.

Thanks to all for your advice it helped alot

[ems]

nice choice

and no i didnt flip out as much as i usely do i ran threw my neibors yard and then there kid shot at me with a spud gun then i ran home then i barrely got to the door when my neibor shoot me in the butt with the spud gun which took me right down and then i went to bed so if you were wondering i didnt do anything to bad so ironman289 i did take it as a joke but when you posted it my neibor shot my window with his spud gun and then i went out side to get even with him and no i didnt use my paintball gun only a wrist rocket(sling shot)

[Ironman289]

Why are you and your neighbor shooting at each other with weapons that could seriously harm or kill you?This looks like another classic example of lack of supervision by the parents.

This thread is far off topic............

[Shadow Wolf1990]

Off Topic ftw

We need like a random OT thread just for the Tippmann section so we can continue to argue about random yet sometimes pointless topics without truly going off topic in the off topic section because we are on the topic in the off topic thread, which is kinda ironic in itself.

Sling shot eh? How old are your neighbor and yourself too? But yeah, that is dangerous, I figure a slingshot could be more dangerous because it can (besides the usual poke an eye out) penetrate the skin depending on what your slinging.

[ScenerioSlayer]

i do some sniping to and then i also noticed then you go to take in the wind velocity then the fact will this shot show where i am at so sniping isnt an art it is merriely a science

I still have no idea what he is trying to say here. My brain hurts after reading this.

Honestly ems learn how to proof read your posts before you post them. They might make sense to but to everyone else they don't.

If you do not know how to spell a word "Google It!!!" If you don't know how to do that send me a PM and I will gladly show you how.

[ScenerioSlayer]

What are you calling a spud gun, because where I am from we call a potato gun and they can shoot a potato about 100 yards if they are made right.

Needless to say I would not want to be shot by one. So I doubt you are talking about the same thing.

[ems]

alright heres how it went down my neibor shot my window with a spud gun cause i asked him nicely to turn his radio down cause it was rocking my house so i return he shot at my house and me getting angering to the point in which the police shouldnt be called then i went clamly to confront him and he then shot at me multiple times which then he got me once when i was running back to my house so and also im am 14 and he is at least 25 so when i asked him to turn down he got mad and then shot at my house which caused me to get more angery then i just went to bed cause i saw that how this was going to end in my mind and was not good and none of you have offened me and then i actualy never got a shot off at my neibor with the sling shot and sorry for going off topic.

Again, as a literate individual, I'd like to offer my services to the rest of PbReview in an attempt to clear some of this up.
Alright, here's how it went down. My neighbor shot my window with a spud gun because his radio was rocking my house and I asked him to turn it down. So I returned fire {I'm guessing on this, folks -Crpt}. He shot at my house and I got angry to the point where the police could have been called {I think -Crpt}. Instead I went calmly to confront him, and he shot me multiple times, and once when I was running back to my house. I am fourteen and he is at least twenty five, so when I asked him to turn down the music, he shot at my house. This obviously caused me to be angry. The only way I saw this coming to and end was to go to bed, so I did. Regardless, the situation was not good. None of you have offended me. I never actually got off a shot at my neighbor with a slingshot. Sorry for going off topic.Wow, even translated it doesn't make much sense. Lemme try again.

Cliffnotes version:
My neighbor shot my window with a spud gun when I asked him to turn down his music. I got angry and wanted to retaliate, but instead decided to try and confront him peacefully because he is much older than me. Apparently this didn't work, and the only way I saw of resolving the issue was to just drop it. Also, (for some reason) no one in this thread has offended me. I appologize for going off topic.There, I think that's pretty close.

[ems]

the cliffnote is completely right and i did not ever return fire cause he was most definetly drinking and becomes very voilent fast and i do seriously try to wright these out the best i can..i just get distracted while wrighting( like example:my neibor is reloading the spud gun ,i dont think he going to back down) still sorry for going off topic.

[Orpackrat]

the cliff note is completely right and i did not ever return fire cause he was most definitely drinking and becomes very voilent fast and i do seriously try to write these out the best i can..i just get distracted while writing( like example:my neighbor is reloading the spud gun ,i don't think he going to back down) still sorry for going off topic.

Just call the police.

On a side note, use the mouse to right-click the works with the red lines underneath and it will help correct the spelling issues.

ah yes the police the ones that are in my town are worst then the drunks in my neibor hood thats i simply the reason i don't ever want to call them seriously their that bad.

Still, shooting a spud gun at someone is very dangerous, stay clear of him at the very least. Get the attention of someone to at least get a record going of what he has been doing.

yeah hes is already on probation

$850 Canadian. I bought everything, over a period of time, from tacticalpaintball.ca. There is a few other things you can do, but they don't suit my needs. If you are NOT in the dirt a lot, I would also suggest an EVT Piston Housing. I find the Co2 tank with a butt, works better than a stock, and the remote line gets in the way of running/diving. Also Plague sells 50rd Pods and Pouches for them, which is perfect for the small hopper set up I have here. If you don't like to 'feel' your shots and just want to pummel an area in paint, I would suggest an E-Trigger, but take the flatline off first, broken balls are an especially big pain with the flatline. I have yet to try the Trigger Pin Kit from TechT. I prefer a single trigger because I don't squeeze it a lot (sure shot shooting) and the extra finger on the grip helps support the gun. The Muzzle Brake helps spread the sound so you are harder to find as well as keeping the ball a little more stable if you are using a Flatline. The brake also helps with keeping dirt out of the Flatline Barrel. The Pistol Scope is used because it can go to a very low zoom level (2x) and has a very large eye relief (25+cm). The high Ring is needed for the scope to fit on the A5 and still be useful, an alternate to this, if you always shoot right handed, is to get an offset rail from LAPCO (or w/e).
I suggest buying an O-Ring kit right off the bat and changing them regularly. You should oil as much as possible and I would suggest using TechT Gun Sav High Preformance Grease for your bolt/hammer.

Seriously, if he's drunk, getting mad, shooting your house, and getting violent, if you call the police, I'm sure he'll be arrested quickly. You have evidence on your house, and most drunks like that tend to get mad at the cops no matter what, so not only will they arrest him for destruction, but for disturbing the peace, and for resisting arrest. Its a win-win situation for you if you just call the fuzz. Be sure to video tape all of this please and send us a link to it.
