Im a newbie,i have only played a couple times indoors. I have a tippmann a-5 with a double trigger. What do you guys think i should get next that will be worth the money? Oh and which would you choose, a c02 tank or compressed air? I have a 20 oz. c02 tank already,should I switch?

the next mod is probably a better barrel. i've heard the stock a5 barrels suck. use the search option, there are a million of threads/polls on what kinds of barrels are best. J&J Ceramic and the Lapco Bigshot are two of the best.

you can use either HPA(high pressure air) or CO2 on your gun. HPA is going to be much more consistent as far as velocity and such.

   Right now, I honestly wouldn't spend the money on a HPA tank. For what it seems like you're doing now, you don't really need one, IMO. 

   Get a barrel as said for now. Then, play with your gun a little, and see what you feel you need on the gun to make it perform better, so it'll help your game. You'll probably want to get a firepower upgrade of some kind next, then maybe make the switch from CO2 to HPA after that.

They arent even close to the best.

I'd have to say the bigshot is the best bang for the $$ though.

A-5
E-Grip
JCS Dual Trigger
DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber
Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted

Optional setup:
R/T
Dead on Blade trigger
