Gonna Go A5

1. Good god! Stop saying we are BIAS!!!!


2. If you have that much of a problem with people saying the US-5 is NOT as good as the A-5, then stop saying it is so much friggin' better than the A-5 and you won't have people saying it isn't better than the A-5!

3. NOONE besides you ever mentions it anymore! He already said he would take the APEX because it is less picky on paint!

Q-Loader mods are easier with an A-5... if I remember correctly they make an exact kit for the A-5.. I don't think they make one for the US-5...correct me if I'm wrong.

To help keep the liquid co2 on the bottom of the tank. I will probably never go HPA or nitro. C02 is all I have for fill in my area. I want to keep the gun tight for those day's of speedball. Maybe even a Q-Loader. If I go that route I should get the PCS (No Cyclone). Mr. blonde I know you have alot of knowledge of the A5. Will the flatline work with wally world paint! I would buy good paint if I had a source! So far the PCS look's good for the Price! But the A5 is still a Tippmann!!! Keep em commin guy's!

I hate my jnj mostly because I use el-cheapo brand walmart paint alot. Get the Lapco if you are like me. And the Q-Loader is very easy to use with the A5 as long as you buy the adapter.

Guy's I would only get the a Q-Loader if I went US-5. The whole wanting the stock trigger if I went E-Grip had to do with every time I play it seems to me that the guy's running electronic triggers, hoppers or what ever, have great firepower but alway's seam to have some kind of problem before the day is over! I am the person who will crawl in the water and mud to get my shot or the surprise surrender. I can't have my gun fail because it got wet or a battery died. I have done some research and found that when I do purchase a new gun the A5 is what I will get. I'm a little worried about spending 200 plus on a gun that tippmannparts.com says the main difference between a 98 and the A5 is cosmetic! But anyway this is what I'm thinking so far: A5 stock trigger(Realtree), Lapco Bigshot 14 or 12inch and a Ricochet loader. Let me know what you all think. Suggestions alway's welcome!

I'd go with the Lapco 12" or 8" Bigshot (I use the 8").  I turn fast & shoot most time out in the woods & don't need a 14" barrel to bang against a tree when I try to turn & fire.
