How a Tippmann A5 Works

This is an animation video of how a Tippmann A5 paintball marker operates internally. The X7 blowback, 98 Custom, Alpha Black, Project Salvo, and Carver One are all similarly designed and can use this illustration.

I hope it provides a foundation for a basic understanding of the marker. I'll be using this as a starting point to help newcomers understand tests that I have conducted involving the marker.

CAN YOU SHOW US THIS WITH AN E GRIP

[LordOdin2008]

@MASTERMARK360 The only difference is the trigger/sear interaction. The trigger will hit a microswitch, which causes the armature pin to push up the sear. From there, the mechanics are the same.

good info but i wish u could point to what you were talking about on some of the things because i got lost on some parts

[LordOdin2008]

@xxitzfamousxx It is a lot to remember. If you look closely, each part has a colored bloom effect when it is mentioned the first time to draw attention to it. After that, it referred to only by name. Try expanding the video to more clearly see what I'm referring to. Hope that helps.

Thank you! I have been looking for a trigger mechanism that works for semi-autos for so long

Very nice video, i was always afraid of getting the A-5 because i though you had to push a rod that works the cyclone feed, but its all auto matic :D so in a week or so, im gonna get the A-5 marker :D
