 Hey guys i just got my new A-5 today... i was wondering what u think i should  get first either the e grip or the flatline barrel.... its kinda hard to choose for  cause i want to shot farther cause i am more of a sniper person .. but yet the e grip would be handy for those close rang sitiation... so what do u think?

Barrel should be your first upgrade.

Flatline barrel for sure.

You don't want to get to rely too heavily on rate of fire to win your games. Learn to shoot accurately at all ranges first. Once you can play very well with single shots or slow bursts, then feel free to invest in a higher rate of fire upgrade. You'll ifnd once you're good enough that you will seldom need it, but you'll be much more effective with it those times that you do.

 

Oh, and a word of advice- don't throw out the word 'sniper' on this forum. Some people crap their pants and go into seizures whenever they see it.

And, by the way, try not to use the "s" word too much. Just giving advice. Welcome to forum!

I would actually get a lapco or a J&J barrel for your tippmann first and then you'll be saving 60 bucks and then you'll be half way there to be getting a e-grip

don't go with the flatline if your planning on getting the e-grip. 

first get a barrel and then get comfortable with your new a-5 the rest will come in time.

Definately go with the flatline first. There is no point of shooting fast with accuracy.
