A5 sniper

No such thing as snipers in paintball.

Don't go there. And change your profile name. No language on the forums.

new barell and HPA

an E-ggrip might help but i've never liked the idea of my batteries dying on the feild

1. A good aftermarket barrel. Ultralights and Stiffis are great, but J&J ceramics and Lapco barrels can offer great performance at a much lower cost.

2. Compressed air. You don't have to do anything to you gun to change over, except get a compressed air tank.

3. Some people like to go remote and use a stock. This has advantages and disadvantages:

Advantages: Stable shooting platform and lighter gun.
Disadvantages: Can screw up your aiming because your mask gets in the way, and makes you gun really long and front heavy.

4. Some people like sights and scopes, but paintballs generally are not accurate enough for that and scopes give you tunnel vision.


I suggest you stay away from mentioning snipers in this forum. This is a very "anti-sniper" forum. The threads that result in sniper arguments are always long and pointless, and someone usually gets upset, makes a bad post, and gets kicked out over it. You are new to the forum- Welcome- so do us a favor and don't rock the boat until you have the "foruming experience" and the logic to back up your statements really well. Also, use better punctuation and spelling- it makes your posts much clearer. They don't have to be perfect, but a little bit goes a long way.

And I am serious about changing your profile name. The mods won't like that.

Just some friendly advice. Welcome to the forums.

TEH SNIPAZ GONNA GET YA

I think his intention is to try to be a sharp shooter of sorts. Though, even this is not really attainable in paintball.

If you do have your heart set on it, then you need HPA and a good barrel kit for your A5. Thats pretty much as accurate as the A5 gets.

What is a good mod for a to make my gun for strong and accuate?   Extermely accurate gun =/= Sniper. There are match grade M16A2 assualt rifles out there, does that make them sniper rifles? No. Your theory is all bad. There are no snipers in paintball. It is physically impossible. Some basic things you have to do to be a sniper: Infiltrate an area undecteted to take out specific high value targets. Stalk said high value target for hours or even days. Once you have found a good shooting position on the said high value target, and you have calculated windage and distance said single shot at said target is taken from beyond the effective range of return fire. After this single accurate shot is taken the sniper then egresses the area without being located or engaged by return fire. Unless you can do all this, you are not a sniper in paintball. Get over yourself.

I can and have.

That's great.  They've upgraded their low ammo capacity, odd calibred (provides the benefit of decreased availability and historical problems with quality control), marker, which is not allowed on some commercial fields because of the paint size, with a smoke simulator to help give the user's position away with each shot.

Yeah, I don't get that.  Are they trying to single handedly change the industry?  Good luck with the way that company is run.

I loke their other equipent though (such as vests).  But back on topic.  If you want to be more accurate there are always good ways.  As mentioned before a god barrel/barrel kit, HPA, a stabilizer, decent paint, etc.  but you wont get much more distance unless you switch to something like the flatline but then you give up accuracy since the backspin can vary from ball to ball.  Also wind kills the flatline.  Now if you want to be AMBUSH that is absolutely a possibility.  All of the above mods with some action ghillie or just a normal ghillie suit will help you hide and suprise.
