You know, you 2 are really bored arent you. Well my choice would be keep your woods ball stuff and buy speedball parts. Pimp out the trigger and get an elec hopper. A new bolt wouldnt hurt. When you play woodsball again just switch hoppers, barrels and but your stock on and your set. ------------- Tippmann Pro/Carbine 14'' Lapco Bigshot Tippmann Expansion Chamber AK Ricochet Hopper JCS Folding Stock w/RVA SL68II Trigger Spring |

Keep your setup and you decide later you want to get into speedball,
buy another gun for just speedball so you have both, or get the parts for both and just switch back and forth, |

Well since you have that cyclone feed permenently attach go speedball. Those things are louder than 2 rhinos in a garbage can. I figured you had a 98. ------------- Tippmann Pro/Carbine 14'' Lapco Bigshot Tippmann Expansion Chamber AK Ricochet Hopper JCS Folding Stock w/RVA SL68II Trigger Spring |

That all depends on what you like to play more.
Oh, and for your own sake, don't try to make a "1337 snypur ryfle" because it just doesn't work. Proven beyond a doubt. Really both setups could be similar, most barrels work for either situation, and one of the virtues of the A-5 is that you can strip it apart quickly. So you could do both, and just fix it up before each game. ------------- Is God real? You'll find out when you die. 
Okay, I don't have a clever signature zinger. So sue me. |

In speedball in a speedball field you cant go behind the opposing team to lay out a barrage of balls, but in woodsball you can ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

, 1 or 2 guys are layin out a barrage while the 3rd one can go grab the flag....I did this exact move except I was alone behind enemy lines (the oppsoing team), all this was done by making a flanking manuever and like I said before...."you cant go behind the opposing team in speedball in a speedball field"Posted By: A5 dude15

| not true. i was at my local field one time and he had an A5 whisper barrel and a muzzler?suppressor or silencer w/e u want to call it. i was standing between 5-10 ft. from him and still could barely hear him. then we got to a game. i got shot, i did not hear it one bit, looked around saw noone, had no clue where it came from, then i walked off and saw some guy run out of a bush into a trench. and i was like oooooooo. so....sound does matter. even if he hadnt hit me the first shot, i still wouldnt have known where the shot came from so i still wouldnt be able to shoot back. |

Keep it for woodsball, if you really want to do speedball, just buy a new barrel and take a few things off maybe (like the stock) and your set. But deffinately keep it for woodsball. ------------- You can go far with a smile. You can go a lot farther with a smile and a gun.
