I've been hearing that the flat-nose design on the hopper of the A-5 has a tendancy to break when hit by a ball. Also note that many stores/fields do not carry spare A-5 hoppers. So, if this happens during a game, you'd either need to go to a backup marker until you could have Tippmann send you a new hopper, or duct tape the thing back together.
See? Initial production bugs really ARE better learned by others! This is why I never buy anything that's totally new to the market.
