good ups?

i was thinking a

response trigger, i have heard they are good, but what do they actually do for u?

or an expansion chamber

what are the prices for these and which should i get first?

i also play in cold weather if that makes a difference

I agree with Snake. Look into an expansion chamber first. They run $30-80 depending on what you get. DOP X-Core runs for $30 and is a very common expansion chamber. The palmer's Stabilizer runs for $80 and is a top of the line performer.

The RT allows your gun to fire much faster while staying mech. It will cause your gun to freeze up if you dont have an expansion chamber. it also requires a faster hopper. Cyclones are available for $50 and are great hoppers for the RT.

k ihave heard that expansion chambers have different stages?

what does this mean?

also how much is it to have installed at a pb shop on average?

ya welli have never taken apart my gun it is a 98c and i am worried that if i take it apart it will never get back together

i heard springs fly everywhere and my friend couldnt get his back together cause he forgot somethin and it leaked so he had to take it back to the pb shop to get it done right, so i am kinda worried...

think about this: worst case scenerio is you take a picture with your disassembled gun, and we tell you what part to put where

So if you had a stock a5 with a double trigger, could you install an RT and use it without any problems?  I just bought a stock a5 with double trigger and i was looking into getting an RT just to make it faster, but i dont know if i can even use the double trigger with the RT or if the Stock Cyclone will feed fast enough

i've tried with both single and double triggers, and they both work, just different feels. after a while using my double trigger, it got easy. i switched back to single, and it seemed to be alot easier to sweetspot.

nathanours:
2 things
A) learn to take apart your marker. 98cs are VERY easy to dis-/reassemble once you get the hang of it. if your careful, no springs will go flying or anything. Just make sure to keep the diagram in the manual handy.

B) The number of stages in an X-chamber (someone correct me if Im wrong) are the number of cups inside of it that induce the expansion of the Co2. More stages means that its more graded, therefore giving the Co2 more time to expand.

DOP X-Cores are a good x-chamber at a good price, but id spend the extra money and go for a palmers stabilizer. not an x-chamber but a regulator (co2 compatible of course), it will give you much better consistency from shot to shot as well as reduction (if not elimination) of liquid Co2 in the marker. Also, X-chambers are useless if and when you switch to comp. air. The stabilizer on the other hand (like any reg) will also improve shot to shot consistency when using HPA.

Hope that was helpful

If you end up going with the vortex mod pm me. I have an extra vortex and lightning rod both brand new in box I need to get rid of.
