I read this rumour on PBNation and the WAS Website that the A5 EGrip's now if you buy come with the WAS board already in it.  Is this true? If so, what are the new features that WAS gives compared to the original EGrips?

The WAS boards dont come stock in standard Egrips. There mught be a version that someone is selling for more money that has the WAS board mounted instead of the stock board, but IDK.

I just emailed WAS directly here is what they said...

My Question: Hi,
I heard a rumour that the A5 EGrip's now come with the W.A.S. board is that true?


W.A.S. Response: Well, Tippmann has more than 10,000 of our boards in stock, and that is the plan.  We do not know if they are actually shipping yet or not.

Believe it or not I have no clue if this is true (Probably not) but I heard somewhere it will be same price as original EGrip's for sale.

I just read the features on their site. 

It says something and I have heard people talking about it, an LED or something.  What does the LED do on this EGrip?
