    Posted: 07 February 2005 at 1:41am

I've been playing for almost a year and now I want to take my game to next level.  I would love for some advice on how I can turn my A-5 into an accurate, fast, and dependable marker without having to spend alot of $$$ if possible. Here's what I currently have on my A-5:

Lapco Universal Drop Mount

PMI Flame drop

Tippman Exp Chamber

DOP Bottomline adapter

2x trigger

r/t

14" teardrop barrel

aluminum foregrip extension

r-5 ricochet hopper

I've been looking around at upgrades like front bolts, power tubes, rear bolts, rva's, but I just don't know what is good versus what sux.  And also what I should get versus what I don't really need.  I really don't know where to go from here!!  Please assist

E-Grip for sure. HPA should follow. LPK, Torpedo Reg.

If you want straight up accuracy on a speedball field I would recommend a Flatline Barrell...it's the best $120 you will spend...the thing has crazy distance too

Don't listen to this guy! Don't buy a flatline for speedball.

not to be mean or anything, but that possibly the stupidest thing ive heard on the forum.  flatlines are probably the worst barrels for speedball. they are big and bulky, to hard to clean out if you have a break in the middle of the game, distance and flat trajectory never even cross a speedballers mind, and there are straight up better barrels.

i would swicht to a regulator from your exp. chamber, get HPA, a possible a lpk. thats about the best you can get. although since you want a speedball gun, i would have gotten the egrip instead of the r/t
