I know most of you have seen my A5 already, but I fixed the size of that pic finally and added some stuff. Only upgrades I plan on getting are an E grip this winter and the WAS Equalizer board, along with the JCS duel trigger. (also a new barrel or two) Here is my collection of paintball gear.
A5: LPK, RT, Sidewinder Reg, 12" Bigshot, Stiletto Drop, CP on/off, crossfire 92ci 4500psi not pictured: 16" 3A knock out, 250rd hopper
 98C: GTA expansion chamber, Promark double trigger (with magnetic trigger mod), 12" J&J 2 piece, 12V Revvy not pictured: flatline, GTA remote line, 12"+14" tips for 3A 2 piece knockout barrel kit, lapco feed neck, 20oz + 9oz
 stock TES, (poor mans space gun)
 JT proteus 2, thermal lens with fan and custom camo tape job

Aside from the picture being enourmouse it's not impressive.
You put on an LPK, drop, and a barrel. R/T comes installed so you didn't have to go out of your way on that.
How about a different reg, Rear Velocity Adjuster, E-grip with Blade trigger, stock or paintjob.
Plus if you want to keep the R/T and not get an E-grip then you have MORE options. You could get a J and J 45 Grip Frame with Blade Trigger, and slap on some 45 Grips of your liking.
Running out of things to upgrade, gimme a break.

It's one thing to suggest something but another to provide false reasoning for putting down another suggestion without any reasoning behind it. If it didn't work then J and J wouldn't sell it and it wouldn't be on Tippmann.com.

I never did rate the gun come to think of it. It's a decent marker but you COULD do more to it, whether or not you want to is up to you and you only.

Thanks for the input everyone. About the Stiletto drop forward, I really love it. Hugs against my shoulder nicely. I guess I should have been more concise and said "running out of things I WANT to upgrade". I'm not really a sight/scope person, I prefer just pointing and shooting myself. As for a RVA, I don't know why I would get one seeing as how I adjust my velocity on the regulator, not with the internal adjuster. Most of you read my mind perfectly, my only plans now are to throw the RT into my 98C and get an E Grip for this. Only reason I haven't so far is because of the things i've heard about the LP bolt breaking with an E grip. That and getting a 14" inch All american and a 12" Freak are about my only plans at the time being. Sorry about the giant picture. Its my first time posting one on the forums I will get better.

Sweet, just make sure you get the JCS Dual trigger from BP-usa.com for the E-grip, it's adjustable, you won't have to get a double trigger, and you can adjust it to a mouse click.

Its a Lapco Bigshot, not the Snapshot (wish it was!). So far it has been pretty good to me. Only complaint would be about how loud it is.

Me too. I like the gun to be a sleeper. So when someone looks at your gun they cant really tell what you have on it so they think they will woop you then you woop them. Thats why my Impulse is all black. Its a sleeper Impulse.

Because the guys at your proshops and you don't know what they're doing?
I've put a R/T on mine an it's worked even better than the stock grip, sweet-spotting was a dream. Just becuase you and your proshop dont' know how install a simple R/T doesn't mean the J and J grip doesn't work. Why are you questions ME on your own ignorance?

on the contrary an RT is for shooting fast right? well a double trig. would make him able to walk the trigger which would make it even faster shooting. it looks like ur goin for speedball if so i would get it converted to centerfeed. the cyclone is cool but in my experience, when u start to run low on air itll start to skip shots and wont feed. plus nothing cna beat gravity and when ur aiming in paintball most serious players aim down the side of their guns and down the barrels not on top and the cyclone gets in the way. i never thought it made a dif. but then when i got my BKO i realized how much better my accuracy was. i would also get a better barrel. that ones ok but not outstanding i would go with an all american or a cp barrel.

Although with some modifications you can lighten the trigger pull, its still a mechanical trigger and you still need quite a bit of pressure in order to trip the sear. Its almost impossible to walk a mechanical trigger. Could you tell me where I could get this centerfeed done on my A5? The only centerfeed I've ever seen was Jeep98Customs and he did it himself.
