Here's my  Tippmann A5.  Here are the mods:

Tippmann E-trigger
Tippmann Flatline barrel
Dead on Paintball Bullet Drop forward 5525
Dead on Paintball X-Core Expansion chamber
Dead on Paintball Rear velocity adjuster
Dead on Paintball Vertical Adaptor
Dead on Paintball A5 Grip adaptor
Dead on Paintball Double trigger

I'm in the process of getting Camo paint from Opsgear, once I get it I'll paint every component with a woods green, tan and brown camo
scheme.  I forgot to mention that with all of these mods, it's put on a couple of pounds.  I haven't weighed it yet but it's between 8 and 10lbs.  The weight doesn't matter but the the gun is really consistent now.

Lookin' good.

Might want to look into the JCS Trigger for the E-Grip to improve speed.

I've read  about the JCS trigger.  That might be a consideration down the line.  Thanks for the comments and recommendations.

That gun is definatly hot. But like the rest said to get all you can out of the E-Grip you'll need that JCS trigger.

Otherwise props to you on a very nice gun.

Lose the flatline and drop ASAP! Get the JCS trigger, Freak Kit, and a black Macro Line you'll be set.

HPA is definitely a mod that I will definitely add later down the road and since I already have the  Vertical Adoptor it shouldn't cost too much.

The DOP products were more of a convenience choice since a buddy of mine sells the products for cheap.  As far as the Flatline is concerned, since I just got it I have no intentions of replacing it.  This stuff is not cheap and I have to save up and throw down the bones myself.  Anyway, I appreciate the comments and recommendations.

Your gun bears striking resemblance to mine except for the flatline and verticle adapter. I was thinking about getting the virticle adapter. Is it really worth the money you spend on it? I have the same x-chamber and drop IReally like those but I cant get my thumb in between the trigger frame and my x-cahmber. Which makes me sad becasue i may have to get rid of my foregrip on its 90 degree adapter block. I really like your gun 9/10 just the question about the verticle adapter.

One of the reasons I got the Vertical adaptor was mainly because of clearance issues with the expansion  chamber and the Drop.  It was too tight with the Drop I had chosen.  Other than that there is no performance difference.  When I bought my Tippmann one of the things that attracted me to it was the amount of mods for this gun.  I didn't want to buy a gun and then say that I've out grown or rather my needs have changed and then buy another gun.  I don't have the time nor the money to flip flop.  That's another reason for the Vertical is that I can always upgrade to HPA later down the road.  What I have found is that the X-chamber makes the gun really consistent.
