That itself does not mean it can be, but I do not think magnesium can be annodized.

[NICKYMIDNITE]

i got a 98c i was thinking of upgrading to a a5 but i deff thinking about this one with the egrip... i got to check it out first at my local shop but it looks good

[tray eater]

dang, i was hoping for a speedball marker but cool none of the less

the vid never works either

[speedytippy]

magneisium? isnt that the stuff that the camping and survivor poeple use to make fires with. like you scrape a knife on it and it makes sparks?!?! i like it

[captcurt_18]

Looks like a modded A-5 to me... I might have to get one, it looks pretty sweet.

[Reaper OC]

i think this looks amazing, the product of tippmann and spec-ops.... should be interesting... i know im itching to pick one upl... MUCH better product than the triumph lol

[Phantom_yyz]

looks like a nice x-mas gift..but i already have 3 guns as it is so i might just sell my 98c and get some money from chrismas, buy one with RT and sall good

[billbobo]

damn, i was gonna get and a-5 sinse its "king of woodzball markers", now i gotta spend another 100$ buck on this , anyway..look like a modded a-5 like he said

[ikilledkenny]

iono, i think the price is a little steep for not having an egrip or RT on it.

[hunter2]

I don't like it.

[Phantom_yyz]

well, the main differences is that its made of magnesium lol, it already has upgrades cyclone, it comes with a shroud, the flatline looks 100x better on this one..there are a lot of upgrades but yeah it kinda looks like an a-5 with a bunch of junk thrown on it.. i was going to buy an a-5 with flatline and R.T but im gona buy this and make it m-16 style with stock clip remote and R.T then it will own in woodsball.. people will be like IM ON HIS TEAM and the people with a-5's will be like WTF IS THAT!?!

Does anyone know what the cyclone upgrades are exactly?

Softer paddles, faster feeding by making the pneumatics more efficient... some minor things to make it feed slightly faster, also has a slightly lower profile.

[therealmr]

I do kindof dig the new hopper style.

[Capt'n Morgan]

Think it's "LP" hopper will fit a standered A-5 cyclone.

I'm going to phone them today and try and get as much info out of them as I can.

[gamesondemand]

Dammit I want one, but with all the ups I was considering for it it runs me $500+ under the table

i hear that i have to save for a long while for it

[ejechtion54]

Great another rip off of the a-5. Tippmann has got good products but myan, not this, lets hope it hold up to legendary durability of the 98. Also i would like to add, it has cyclone feed, thats where it is capped and will be capped at 20 bps. i dont want to hear how the cyclone feed should be put on every tippmann gun. give it a break.

[Associator]

As soon as I can afford enough paint to fire over 20bps ever game, I will let you know that this gun will not keep up with me... until then, I think it is pretty neat.

Not a gun I would buy, but a decent milsim gun. The MSRP from Tippmann is usually a bit higher than what it actually sells at, but I agree, that even considering that, it seems a bit steep. Not a gun for me, but a decent gun notheless. I want to see how it performs though.
