[not meant to flame]

if you don't mind me asking, how do the others have an advantage? remember, the gun doesn't make the player, (lest we forget the scenerio that happens too often nowadays---the story of a few UB3R-5W33T newbs with electro guns getting owned by a few guys with pumps.) 
that being said, if the guys you are playing with are just a little better than you, a R/T or egrip may compliment your flatline, and help to level the playing fields a little bit, but don't rely on your gun. it's not gonna get people out for you.

The "gun doesn't make the player" cliche is getting a little old i think.

I dont see anywhere that Dr. Death states the contrary.  He simply stated a better gun gives a player an "advantage" which it most certainly does.

As for your question. Assuming your A-5 is stock other than the flatline.

If you prefer woodsball, and like your flatline, id go for a decent regulator (palmers is best if you plan to stay on co2 for a while).  This will improve shot precision and consistancy, as well as improving gas efficiency.  It will also do a great job at keeping liquid co2 out of your gun, and is practically a requirement if you want to play in cold weather with co2.

On the odd chance you prefer speedball, your first upgrade should be a decent straight barrel. (The lapco Bigshot is a good place to start).  A close second is a power upgrade (R/T upgrade, or E-grip)
