I own an A-5. Upgrades include a folding stock, 14" Smart Parts Linear barrel, remote to 20oz. tank on a tac vest, X-7 hopper for slightly better profile and ball deflection.  I am interested in performance and mobility, not looks.  Please recommend the next series of upgrades.  I'm thinking internals but if someone has better ideas please let me know. 

Oh, and given the calibre of  players at my local field, I find faster rates of fire than I can already achieve a non-issue.

Stock internals tend to be best for Tippmanns. Upgrade the cyclone's internals.

Cyclone upgrades like Sinister said.  Vortex mainly.

E-Grip, and maybe ape double trigger too.  replace your remote wires with drop forward and use either N2 or keep the CO2.

Personally I dont like drop forwards.  As far as the internals of the cyclone i have never had a problem w/ mine but I dont try to outshoot my cyclone either.  If you need more than 15 bps I have heard of switching up to X7 internals and if you want more than that there is always the tech-t and now New Designs.  I dont know how much better those are though.  If anyone could even inform me I would greatly appreciate it.
Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your...
