I'm a woodsball player and Im looking to get a second gun that's capable of going full auto. I'm partial to the a5 but I can't make up my mind when it comes to the trigger.
What do you guys recommend? Also what kind of batteries does the egrip use? |

I would go with the egrip.
The A-5 RT never really worked like the 98 or X7 ones do.
The egrip takes a regular 9 volt battery.

for the price of an a5 with HE, I can simply upgrade my 98 to go full auto and have roughly $130 to spare. should i just do that instead?

idk the a-5 is a good gun but i wouldn't spend the extra money to make the a-5 full auto if you could do the same thing to the 98 and save money. Plus you could buy alot of paint for $130

I bought an A-5 Response, and it's terrible. Never goes past 10 bps, and is very hard to sweetspot, only stays sweetspotted for a second. So it's not actually full-auto at all. I sent it in to Tippmann twice to get it 'fixed,' but it worked better before hand. It's a waste of money. So if I were you, I'd go with an e-grip. And i don't see how a few tiny pieces of rubber and metal can cost $70 either...there's really not much to it.

I just sold my A5 R/T and some other stuff for store credit to get an e-trigger for my Alpha Black... and I am very happy! Didn't like the A5 R/T one bit...

I would just upgrade your 98 to a egrip because then you have $130 and a full auto gun. With the egrip you can change the firing mades.

Since you are playing woodsball, the response trigger will be more durable |

IMO, anytime you "upgrade" a marker, you decrease the reliability/durability.
