    Posted: 14 June 2005 at 7:17pm

I am looking at buying an A5 (new) with a response trigger.

All I need is sugestions on upgrades...

I mainly play woodsball but occasionaly play speedball.

I dont have a job so I dont have much money.

Thanks

Look into a new barrel(LAPCO Bigshot or JJ Ceramic because they're cheap), DOP X-Core and a double trigger. That'll get you started and you upgrade accordingly as you play more.

I would say get the E-grip instead of the responce, but a new barrel for sure...If you can afford it, get a flatline if you want the distance, if not get the Lapco Bigshot.

Please for the love of god don't get a flatline.

Just play stock for ahwile. The key is to play and hone your skills before doing any upgrading.

If money is a problem I wouldn't upgrade till you get a job.
A-5
E-Grip
JCS Dual Trigger
DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber
Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted

Optional setup:
R/T
Dead on Blade trigger

No sense in buying upgrades for a gun where you no longer can afford paint to go play with it. Just replace the barrel for now, and keep your ROF down until you can get hold of an X-chamber.
A-5
E-grip
Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16"
Evil Adapter(Spyder)
32 Deg New '03 XChamber
Remote Line
Gun Sling
Sniper f/x Stock
LPK
68/4500 HPA
R-5
CP Reg
JCS Duel Trigger
