  The first mod should always be the barrel, it will make the biggest difference in how the gun performs. I have a flatline on my A5, and it works very well.

  The rt is a good setup, but I put an e-grip on mine. It's more expensive, but it is easier to install and operate. Also, it has light pull to it, and there is no need to sweetspot it.

For I will wander to and fro,
I'll go where I no one do know,

If you can get a Flatline for under $100 - more power to ya!

I like my RT. I play at fields that allow them. I don't play tourneys. I don't buy batteries!

The sky darkens. In the distance you can hear the roar of the A-5. You shudder for you know it soon will be here.

    The first thing you need is a barrel. Maybe not the flatline, do some
research and think about what kind of game you'll be playing the most
and buy a barrel according to that. But if you are set on the flatline no
matter what then buy that, It's still a good barrel. Have fun!!!!

First of all, you must know that there are different companies other than TIppmann who make upgrades for the gun.

For the barrel, I suggest a Lapco Bigshot. Its only around $50,and its very accurate.
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
