Q: What is the A5 Feed Neck and what does it do?
A: The A5 feed neck is a connector which replaces the Tippmann cyclone feed system on your A5 or X7 marker. By using this feed neck in place of the cyclone feed players are able to use the hopper of their choice instead of being limited to the cyclone exclusively.
Q: What advantages does this give me?
A: By utilizing one of the many hoppers available in the paintball industry players can fine tune their paintball gun performance with increased rates of fire. Some indirect advantages include lowering the gun’s profile which makes it a smaller target for opponents and by no longer using your air tank to feed paintball players will get more shots per tank keeping them on the field longer.\
Q: Will I have to modify my Tippmann gun to use this feed neck?
A: No. The A5 feed neck is designed to use al existing mounting hardware and existing features on the gun. Players will be able to freely switch between our feed neck and the stock cyclone feed as they see fit.
Q: Is the clamp adjustable?
A: The clamp on the A5 feed neck is machined from aircraft grade aluminum and has a locking cam arm and an adjustable bolt which will allow you to adjust the clamp force to securely hold your hopper.

Q: What is the Python system and what does it do?
A: The Python is a connector that goes onto your paintball marker. It allows you to use interchangeable sleeves with different bore sizes into the system before attaching your barrel. This allows you to better match your marker to your paint.
Q: What advantages does this give me?
A: By matching your barrel to the bore of your paint since all paint is slightly different you get increased accuracy, greater distance, and improved air efficiency. This is achieved by putting compression on the ball during its initial acceleration. The variable bore also allows you to change as the paint changes throughout the day.
Q: How much will it add to the length of my barrel?
A: The Python system will add 1.75 inches to the overall length of your barrel for all marker models except older Angels with the long barrel back. The system will add 2 inches to older Angels.
Q: Why only 4 inserts?
A: The average barrel either stock or aftermarket has a bore of between .690 – .692. Because paint is smaller the bores we provide (.679 .682 .685 .688) are the primary bore sizes necessary to cover the full range of paint on the market.
Q: Can I use this with more than one marker?
A: Yes. The sleeves are interchangeable between all models for all markers (except older Angels) so if you have different markers you can buy one system and extra bodies individually to allow use with all of your markers.
Q: Does the Python system work with the Flatline?
A: No. Unfortunately because of the flatlines design the Python like other barrel accessories does not work with the Flatline.
