Tippman A5

Hello, I'm new here, and pretty new to paintball. I have been about 5 times, but never owned a gun. Well, I'm finally getting one and was wondering what would be best. I'll probably be playing more of speedball than anything. I was looking at the Tippman A5 and was wondering if that was good. I hear they are very reliable. If this isnt the best one than which gun might be better. Anything around 300 would be good. Thanks for any help.

if ur going to do speedball then i would suggest a dragun the one. its capped at 20 bps and goes for around $250. the a5 is great for woodsball, but for ur purposes get an electronic gun.

I cant seem to find any similar prices on it. One place has it for 500 another 300 and the msrp on is between 260-300.

Dude if its gonna be your first ever marker and, as I presume, your first ever speedball games (which I'm guessing would be at walk-on matches, rather than established team based tourny's), then go for an e-grip spyder. there is a whole range of these mothers out there, with a huge list of upgrade options for when you want to progress to the next level of play. Trust me, it'll be worth it in the long run if you want to purchase the suitable upgrade parts later on in your career.
