Honestly, i would say go with r/t or e-grip. This will definitly improve your
bps and hitting ability if you know how to use it.

if you don't want to get HPA then i wouldn't go with the egrip or the r/t. i would say get a stabilizer (its better than the xchamber)

*EDIT*
I would go with the egrip over the r/t just b/c alot of places don't allow r/t and the egrip shoots faster and has more modes

If they haven't stopped them, EGrips should come stock with WAS boards.

EGrips were originally a board and some other stuff designed by Tippmann, but the WAS is a replacement of the stock board that allows for more bps and modes and blah blah blah.

If you buy the egrip, its likely you'll get the version with the WAS boards intact unless they stopped doing that.

make sure you chrono your markers within 240-280fps to make them operate efficiently and within safe parameters.  If your marker is shooting over 300fps, you can be jeopardizing the safety of your friends and decreasing the fun factor.  Keep it safe and have fun.

my A5 is set at 285fps.

Now..

if i set my a5 at exactly 300fps, will it shoot any farther? will it loose accuracy? i know it'll hurt my target a little bit more..but i'm the only one out of my woodsball buddies who's A5 marker is set below 300fps and i want revenge!

i want to bump it up to exactly 300 as long as it won't affect performance(in a negative way) but will enhance the fun for me.

Where can you get a brand new e-grip for $65? They usually run around $100. Share the knowledge, bro.

If your a woodsball player, I would personally suggest the RT over the Egrip.  If it rains when your playing, it can really mess up your Egrip.

It uses a gas cylinder to push the the trigger back into firing position very rapidly.
