The first mod should always be the barrel, it will make the biggest difference in how the gun performs. I have a flatline on my A5, and it works very well. The rt is a good setup, but I put an e-grip on mine. It's more expensive, but it is easier to install and operate. Also, it has light pull to it, and there is no need to sweetspot it. ------------- For I will wander to and fro, I'll go where I no one do know, |

If you can get a Flatline for under $100 - more power to ya! I like my RT. I play at fields that allow them. I don't play tourneys. I don't buy batteries! ------------- The sky darkens. In the distance you can hear the roar of the A-5. You shudder for you know it soon will be here. |

The first thing you need is a barrel. Maybe not the flatline, do some
research and think about what kind of game you'll be playing the most and buy a barrel according to that. But if you are set on the flatline no matter what then buy that, It's still a good barrel. Have fun!!!! -------------

First of all, you must know that there are different companies other than TIppmann who make upgrades for the gun.
For the barrel, I suggest a Lapco Bigshot. Its only around $50,and its very accurate. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |
