Ok I have posted this before but this time my budget for a new marker has dropped. Im only going to have around 350 dollars to spend in a new marker. I really dont want to go over my budget, im looking for a gun thats light and fast. Something I can use for speedball but also take out on woodsball. Also I wont be able to upgrade for a while. I will probably be able to upgrade 1 thing on my new gun. Either a new barrel or new hopper. If anyone has any suggestions please post. Thanks

If $350 is your gun-only budget, and you don't have nitro at this time, I'd say AutoMag. With the ULE body, they're light, they're fast right out of the box, and with that body, they'll take Cocker barrels. Good upgrade path with them, too.

An A5 is probably your best bet. Any other marker and you'll realisticly need to spend $60 on the hopper alone. For speedball, look into the firepower upgrades like the R/T and the Double Trigger.

A5 would be great for woods and just ok for spedball but I don't
think you should look into the Response Trigger. Some fields
prohibit it and most tourneys prohibit it too. But if you using it
just for practice on speedballl fields then its all good.

my #1 suggestion at an upgrade would be the barrel........A5
stock barrel sucks
One shot , one kill .....then pass the dutch for the victory dance!

^^^ Really? Interesting...  I knew the E-grip was prohibited, but I thought the R/T was allowed in most places.

Get an a-5 with a r/t and put whatever money is left over into a new barrel. A-5's work good in speedball and woodsball.

Wit $350 I would recommend you switch from co2 to HPA (Crossfire 68/3000-72/3000 or 68/4500-72/4500 prices range between $160 to $190) and wit the rest, use the money fer the paint, field and food.

Errr...other way around. Too many people can tweak their RT's to F/A-like bounce. That's why tourneys and most fields ban it. With the E-Grip, it's easier to tell what firing mode someone is on.
