i have an A-5 with a smartparts teardrop barrel that im happy with, r/t, dop rva, tippmann xchamber,and blackpoint red hot power tube. i would like to know if there is another upgrade i should get. i dont really want a hpa system yet because its to much money. i am also not planning on getting another gun anytime soon. i think i have met my upgrade limit for my gun but if there are an suggestions that would be great.

        thanks

If you don't have anything about the gun that you think needs improving,
then you obviously don't need to upgrade anything.

Couldn't agree more.  I'm getting really tired of people thinking they always need to be upgrading... like theres some celestial vision of their gun that everyone must strive for.

 Get maybe a good drop forward. I recommend the bullet drop. It looks sweet on the A-5. You could also get a R5 Ricochet hopper made for the A-5, those are pretty cool......

Actually there are three things that will vastly improve your game.  The first is practice.  The second is practice. Can you guess what the third thing is?  By practicing more and upgrading less, you will be developing skill which will translate to being good with any marker rather than having to rely on some part that is usless without skill anyway.  Practice hard, play harder.

     Get a decent pair of paintball gloves.  After a weekend of paintball, welts can be covered by a shirt.  But the black hands of death one gets after marker paint dissolves the black dye from batting gloves is unsightly.

     How's your mask?  No scratch, no fog?  Remember, safety first.

i agree with that one guy above, the more you practice with a less upgraded gun, the better you get. then once you get the money and do decide to upgrade it, youll be really good.
