If you prefer to do things with your hands, you will definitely want to build a Tippmann sniper paintball gun as not only you will save money, but you will also get the satisfaction of making something yourself. With this article we will try to give you a few instructions.

First of all, you will need to start searching for a barrel that will increase the gun's accuracy. As a consequence, this barrel should not be more than 16 inches long and should match the size of the paintballs that you will be using. In addition, make sure that the barrel's threading matches that of your gun.

Needless to say, that you should buy those paintballs that work good with a Tippmann sniper paintball gun. A good test would be to drop the paintball down the barrel and if it sticks, it means that it is too big. On the contrary, if it does not stick at all and just rolls, it means that it is too small. With other words, you need to get those balls that go through the gun's barrel easily, but not too easily.

You might want to add a regulator to the paintball gun as it will help regulate the level of the CO2 your gun will fire each ...
... time, making it more consistent. In addition, the addition of a regulator can make the gun more accurate.

It is highly recommended to polish the contact points on the marker as the Tippmann markers come as standard with paint residue on the rear bolt, receiver and the front bolt, which means that it can cause friction and will diminish the accuracy of the paintball gun. Adding a sight to the gun is a good idea as it will allow you to be more accurate on the paintball field.

If you want to make it more versatile, you could add a cammo pattern, a stock and a remote kit. The cammo will help conceal you; the stock will make the paintball gun more stable while the remote kit will make your marker lighter.

It is advisable to lower the trigger pull when constructing a Tippmann sniper paintball gun. You can remove the spring of the trigger and replace it with that of a regular mechanical pencil. However, make sure that the spring is the right length so that it will be capable of firing consistently. Remember to check out if you are allowed to use this at your paintball range, before starting to make the appropriate modifications.

If you enjoy crawling around the paintball field, you could use a bipod as it will help you also while setting up in a bunker, or whatever you manage to find. You need to know that you can have a lot of fun tinkering with the marker of the gun. The A5's can be transformed in a wide variety of markers very easily, like MP5's, AK47's or M4's, but it won't really improve your game, it will only change the look of the gun.
