Does your field allow the rt? Nice gun, I'll give it a 7/10 because that's trying to be speedball but isn't quite. For speedball, get an E-Grip and a JCS duel trigger.

!!!

I thought that x-chamber was a 32 degrees one?!?

You should have gotten the one I have where the grips are chrome and the rest is black.

I don't like the barrel because 32* is horrible, but other than that, the only thing that I find bad about it is the expantion chamber, which works well, but looks ugly.  Overall, I give you an 8/10 because of the barrel and the other stuff.

I got the egrip for christmas put on my double trig cranked the rate of fire and on semi auto I was walking against a guy with a DM5 and got him out along with half his team. I dont usually play speedball or hyperball with a tippmann but let me tell you I'd gladly play speedball with any A-5 that has and egrip on it. When I had some of my ref buddies count the BPS I was hitting around 12-15 a sec but after it warmed up (about .25 seconds) and I got it to walk real nice like on my friend timmy I got it up to near or maybe even over 18-20 bps (by this point they had all left to ref another game) so it could be even more than that somehow. When people say that the egrip cant walk all it tells me is that they've never fired one or are just feeble minded. Heres and example to start with it when I had it I turned the rate of fire all the way down even at that slow of a speed you could still tell it was walking nicely(autococker nice) and no it plain and simple is faster than the single trig.

Dude i think the gun absolutly ummm sux i look at ur 98c wich was a piece if i were u i wouldda just put money into that gun instead of having two guns wut is the point of having two guns when u can only use one but yeah beside i wouldnt be suprized if u just bought a package instead of actually building that gun up it was a waste of $$$ and i woulda just upgraded the 98c SO MANLY IM SAYIN UR GUN SUX ASS U **edited**

LOL man 99% of the people here don't know what cousins is, but i happen to live in the NY/NJ Area too.  Whatever they told u is most likely very accurate because all of their stores/fields are top of the line.  Welcome to the Forums.

Well, in this situation it wasn't. and tippyhippy... I don't even know how to respond to your comment... I'm sort of disappointed that anyone that has ever considered themselves a paintballer would ever have this thought run through their head "well, I think one gun is enough, there's no point in having two"

get an A-5 vertical adapter for ur x-chamber, you can use it more as a grip, it looks alot better with the adapter.....anywho its a good start for just getting it. good luck...go with the adapter i think its in between 40 and 60
