Nitro and lpks are wastes of money. Get a blade to go with your e-grip and maybe a drop.

e-grips more of a waste of money than hpa! but the lpk isnt really worth it. lpk's work better with co2 than with hpa. u need to get a regulator- get a torpedo or palmer.

the lpk has more advantages when using co2 than it does when using hpa, if it were my a-5 i would go with what you have plus a blade trigger a nice drop, some macroline, and i would get the lpk if i had the money, but i would probably get a better mask or a snapshot from lapco or something along those lines with the money before i bought a lpk

If the LPK reduced the amount of gas/air used by a large margin, I'd go for it.  I haven't heard that it does, but that's what I assumed when I heard about it.

Definitely get the JCS Duel Trigger for the E-grip!  Probably the best upgrade you can get for $35.  Here's a couple of places you can order it from.  Springer Paintball is the cheapest I've found it.

the lpk uses more air, since your air pressure is cut almost in half (i think its half, im not sure about the operating pressures and all) your bolt needs to hold the valve open longer which releases more air into your system so the ball can still get up to 300fps even with the lower pressure, but even though you will kill your shots per tank you'll get a much quieter operation with less recoil and you can use more brittle paint

^^ ahh then screw the LPK i think i might get a torpedo reg......but one question is is comfortable with the reg and the front grip on there? or isnt it? it seems likje the reg would get in the way and i really only like holding the front grip

LPK = worthless, not worth the $$$ < there is one post where enos posted in detail why it is a waste, and its better for co2 than hpa, try and serch for the post,

i would just get a mac dev 04 glatior reg if u only run on HPA, if not a Palmer reg, will preform better than the torpedo if u use both, i would personlly stay away from the torpedo

Wow- everyone's dictating whats a waste and what isn't. NOTHING he has posted is a waste of money. It is his choice whether that advantages he gains are worth that much to him- some people think less noise and less recoil can be worth the cost for the LPK. The ease of use and shooting capability of the E-grip is worth it. A STABILIZER is worth it on CO2, and is only worth on for Nitro if you have the LPK ('cause you need a reg). And a Duel trigger can allow you to shoot faster when not in full-auto/turbo for the e-grip. It's all on how much yopu got, how much you want to spend, and what you want out of yuor gun's performance/ looks.
