nice barrel i love the twist. get a r-t or e-grip, slick trigger and a drop (a bullet drop would look cool). 8/10 also try this http://www.tippmannchat.net/customizer/ - http://www.tippmannchat.net/customizer/ ------------- Ion sanded and bondo'd body Orange painted body and frame Dead On Bullet Drop Evo II 68/4500 crossfire Evil pipe kit with ultra tip |

Noice! IMO, you shouldn't listen to anybody on here trying to give you more tips on upgrades. Thats the point of customizing it, get your gun to your own degree, don't make it a clone. -------------

How is the 45 grip with the r/t because I heard that the Double trigger wasn't that good with it and I was wondering about the blade trigger on the lapco grip -------------

8.5/10 its a nice setup, not too upgraded, but it sure does get the job done. people have differnt comments on a double trigger vs single trigger with an rt. some say single trigger is easier to sweetspot, others say a double trigger is easier to sweetspot. the best thing would be to try it out for yourself. also, take the front grip off, and use the x-chamber as a grip. |

yeah the reason the freont grip is stll on is because I just showed my bro it for the first time and he found his hands were too cramped with just the x-chamber so I put the grip back on and I haven't taken it off again I will do that and maybe take a new pic. -------------

I was kinda tinking maybe a rva and A maddman spring kit because I play alot of woodsbal and I like to use the tank as a stock so I think with a drop it might make that impossible. Any other suggestions? -------------

You don't need both an RVA and Maddman spring kit. The springs are tight and loose depending what one you choose. The RVA makes your stock spring tight and loose on its own. The RVA is what you need. Might I recommend a JCS RVA or Dead On RVA. Those are the best. ------------- Video: http://pbvids.gamesxposed.com/files1/RTP.1116548567.wmv - My Automag RT Pro ::: http://boydsters-pics.mypicgallery.com/ - My Gallery ::: |

Okay and I was actually thinking about saving up till the end of his month and I can get a Palmers. But i was wondering how many shots more will I get having a palmers than just an x chamber -------------

Not many more shots...but WAY better consistancy.
I am not going to say your gun is great, because that is the truth. But it is DEFINATELY a great start. -------------

I think the Palmer would look better but you already bought an expansion chamber. Don't waste your money. Get a spira grip from JCS or an RVA. Or both. ------------- Video: http://pbvids.gamesxposed.com/files1/RTP.1116548567.wmv - My Automag RT Pro ::: http://boydsters-pics.mypicgallery.com/ - My Gallery ::: |

i'd get the blade trigger for it instead of the GTA double trigger then i would get a palmers stabilizer and then save up to buy nitro. or skip the two upgrades i mentioned and go straight to getting nitro. lol its a good start thought right now and it looks really good! 8.5/10 good luck! |

K where can I buy just a blade trigger, because I really don't care if my grip is aluminum or not and I could prolly save a ton of cash if I just got the trigger. -------------

well I got a good idea today that i think is good. I decided that I would buy a sidearm because I like my a-5 the way it is and if i need anyhing new I will get it later. Which is he best sidearm I was thinkin of getting the 68 delta. -------------

Kind of reminds me of my gun. He can't get the blade trigger unless he gets the Egrip. The JCS blade trigger is only compatible with the Egrip. Or if he gets the J&J aluminum grip frame, he'll have one. ------------- Video: http://pbvids.gamesxposed.com/files1/RTP.1116548567.wmv - My Automag RT Pro ::: http://boydsters-pics.mypicgallery.com/ - My Gallery ::: |

Oh. Don't waste your money on a pistol. It's your money but I think it would be a waste. ------------- Video: http://pbvids.gamesxposed.com/files1/RTP.1116548567.wmv - My Automag RT Pro ::: http://boydsters-pics.mypicgallery.com/ - My Gallery ::: |

I love the a-5 I couldn't think of a better first gun it requires little maintence and when upgraded can keep up to almost any other gun. Sure I would love to have boughten a shocker or a timmy but how practical would that be as a first gun who knows how much you will like the game and to spend that much money on something you may use twice would be foolish. I love my a-5 and I always will I don't think I could've made a better choice. -------------
