well since u still have ur stock barrel i assume since u dont tell us what ur barrel is i would get the barrel a jj ceramic maybe or a lapco bigshot because u can do without a new board unless u want to be shooting crazy bps

i dont know jack didily squat about boards. but i do know BPS isn't everything but 17bps on ur e-grip is plenty anymore and  there won't be a space between ur paintballs when there in the air. if i were u i'd just keep ur tippy like it is besides a barrel.

^ Agreed. Get a new barrel. I prefer the All-American's myself, but that's something you're going to have to experiment with. Know anybody with an A5 that has some different barrels you can try with?

besides arent boards like 100 bucks? im just guessing im not saying they are because thas some computer programmingtin those things so i dont think 10 bps is gonna make a difference whther someone pokes there head up or not. the fastes i ever shoot is as fast as my finger goes which is about 4bps. that will keep there head down for u to move up. btw i dont have a slow finger just a single trigger.

If you want to know about the WAS board just go to their site. Here's a
link to the A-5 WAS board:


http://www.wickedairsports.com/products.php?cat=24


Personally, I'd be cautious about replacing the board in the A-5 since the
cyclone can't load reliably at speeds of 18bps or faster. The stock E-Grip
is capped at 15bps for just that reason.

If I were you, I would get the JCS Dual Trigger for the E-Grip. Best trigger
for the A-5 E-Grip by FAR!

Eyes would be pointless on the A-5. It already won't chop as long as your in the cyclones limits.

I'm saying it would be poitless to do so. As long as your shooting under 17bps you WILL NOT chop with the cyclone as long as your ratchet is working properly.

u can put eyes in it if you want but it would be money used as toilet paper if u did. and if ur shooting over 17bps just get an electro.
