Its very big and bulky and the cyclone is basicly a big target. |

| nothing is wrong with using an A-5 in speedball. It rocks in both but you can upgrade it to fit either one. I use it in speedball and it's awesome. |

ya i agree with bass654321 i use my A-5 for both speedball and woodsball cause my A-5 is fast enough for speedsball with my e-grip and it is durable and has enough range with my flatline for woodsball -------------

Ok thnx alot. And BTW, an E-grip makes the gun automatic correct? If so, what exactly does a response trigger do? |

Nope, an E-Grip does not make the A-5 automatic. There is an automatic setting, but that's not your only option. You have Turbo mode (a shot for each pull and release), semi (with a LOT shorter trigger pull), 3 shot burst, etc. A response trigger kit is, essentially, a little cylinder that is dropped into the gun that when pressed lightly, will "kick" the trigger back at you, making it automatic. Pulling hard on the trigger will shoot one shot. |

A-5 is a fine speedball gun and it can keep up with the cockers and high end guns. remember, the marker doesn't make you good you make you good ------------- http://profile.xfire.com/kentuckyfriedgangsta">

ok man this is an easy one. i got an a-5 it works great in both enviroments. you dont see many in tournys because everyone has enough money to buy more expensive guns and they thing its way to big of a target. but it you have enough skill you can make mass distruction with yuo a-5 ------------- tippmann t-shirt - $12 admitance fee - $30 1000 rounds of paint - $75 seeing the face of the guy you shot in the nuts for cheating - priceless |

There's nothing wrong w/ using the A-5, there isn't anything wrong w/ using any gun. Most people prefer lighter, faster, more compact, and smaller guns, the A-5 doesn't offer that (unless the speed thing) But, anybody can use any gun, its just their personal reference. -------------

It's a sin against nature. A curse will fall on you and your family if you do use it in speedball. On a more serious note, most people are right handed and it's a shame the bulky cyclone feedsystem is on the right side of the gun. ------------- http://img204.imageshack.us/my.php?image=260991706090alb8rs.jpg">

Nothing is wrong with using the A-5 for speedball, it's just that you have to spend 120 bucks to make it electric. And you can't walk the dawg with it. If you could then you could only do 15bps. The hopper really isn't a problem because my friend plays speedball all the time with his A-5 and he has never gotton shot on the cyclone feed system or the "big" hopper as some people say. Nothing is wrong with using the A-5 for speedball. But the upgrades you spend on making it speedball material will add up to making you gun like 400 and something dollars, which is close to a new B2K. Or a BKO. So I would look into another gun if you like speedball and are serious about it. ------------- TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM 14" Progressive barrel 32* Black gel grips BT-16 Double trigger Pen Spring Mod X-core Expansion Chamber Vertical Adapter |

i was just at a tournament at BFG paintball in germantown and this team with a 98 custom with a scope on it, and a stock, and a A-5 with a stock, flatline, and like 2 other A-5's with all the scenario stuff on it, wooped this teams butts. Keep in mind this team was made of DM4's, timmy's, and shockers. so yeah i would say that you can use an A-5 can be used in speedball. ------------- Shocker-stock,for now Xbox Live Gamer Tag: Godfather1504 mostly play halo 2 favorite quote: "for those who said this day would never come, what are they to say now." |
