yeah honestly you can get a much better gun for the money it takes to upgrade to a speedball gun.

Not enough of a good thing to waste money on it.

I'd think about getting a new gun. Panda Man among others has spent ungodly sums of money on their Tippmanns to make them "speedball guns" and in the end they regretted it.

the reason for polished internals is so the orings can seal better.

first off, the A5 is not made for speedball, but if you want to go SB with the A5 you should get the LPK, Vortex mod, QEV, and an egrip is a must. look around, there are some neat new triggers for A5s that could work pretty good. Also get a HP tank. with CO2 the Volocity spikes really bad. SB fields can fill CO2, but its faster with HP. also you will not need to take the tank off if you have HP. one more thing get an on/off. they are sooooo nice to have.

do you already have an A5? what ups do you have?

1 paintball gun package=$150
1 case of paint=$50
air & entry fee=$15
