Tippmann A-5: Some Drawbacks
One of the major drawbacks the A-5’s suffers is its flat line barrel. Its flat line barrel is not that good as they’re very difficult to remove. In fact, the Tippmann A5 would need 2 hex keys of different size to remove the 3 screws required to detach the barrel; though this scenario are not going to happen on the field while still in the heat of the game. If you get paint in the barrel you’ll know it because your shots will start curving in random directions. Another problem is when it’s fairly new. By the first time you use the Tippmann A-5, the remote line is tightly coiled. It will stretch out a little over time and at first, you may feel a bit short with your shots. This marker is considered a "heavy metal" compared to smaller lighter speedball guns.
