| get a new barrel, expansion chamber, double trigger, and look at http://www.countypaintball.com - www.countypaintball.com to look for accessories to upgrade. go to parts and accessories on the left side. see what you would like to improve on. i hope this helps. |

It all depends on how you like to play and what you play, if you play woodsball, then maybe a long barrel like a bigshot or a flatline, and then a stock, but if you play speedball, maybe a dropforward, a short barrel, and put in an egrip or RT. I have an egrip but now that I think about it, it was dumb to buy because no one wants to play against you if they don't have any kind of firing modes other than semi. I would go with a RT its almost the samething except its cheaper and not always aloud in tournaments. Good luck if you have any other questions pm or catch me on: MSN mailto:dial_1_800_call_att@hotmail.com - dial_1_800_call_att@hotmail.com AIM Trailriding87 -------------

| if your getting a new barrel a big shot is great for the money. Also you should think about saving up for a comp-air kit and nitro. You should also think about buying a drop. |

I have : an a-5 and a black magic and on the A-5 i have .... egrip, flatline, and sliding car stock, along with double trigger and the gun is and outstanding although not as light as my Black Magic I would get all of those if you plan on playing some serious woodsball and if your playing tournament games get a bigshot. ------------- "2nd place is the 1st loser |

I'd go for Flatline, regulator, stock, and drop ------------- Notice: The views exspressed in this post do not represent that of the Tippmann Company or the Paintball community but solely the individual who type it. |

Hmmmm...the reviews that I've read and I agree with 100%: A good quality barrel...if you have the $ for a 2 piece combo with a couple different sizes, go for it. Then spend the rest on paint/gas and hit the field and practice...and practice...then practice a little more. |

If you play rec woodsball, dont get nitro, when i go play with 40-50 of my friends and someone new comes and has nitro or turns their velocity up... lets just say about 10 AA-5s with their velocity up isnt a nice thing to have behind you ------------- Tippmann A-5, Remote System, just got my flatline b*atch! *Soon to have pic* |

i just used my a-5 today for the first time - if you have a r/t and are usin co2 def get an anti-siphon put on your tank ($7) - i found the thing would freeze after 6-7 shots when you have the r/t to rapid fire (sweetspot) - once i got the cash though im gonna get nitro -
def replace the barrel - thing sucks - im getting a lapco bigshot 12 inch ($50)- no one seems to have anything bad to say about it - i dont know if i can fatham putting a 200 $ kit on a $200 gun - im also thinking a drop foward - but ots really a personal preference - tippmanns are heavy enough, id like to make it smaller for snap shots -
