I saw that I can get a Tippmann A-5 with RT, mask, tank, hopper, and etc for around $350. Then there is the Autococker Outkast for around $450 to $500. I am getting back into paintball again after a long time off. Should I just go with the A-5 that has everything I need to get back into the game then save up the money and get an OMFG awesome gun later when I get into tournaments and stuff OR just buy an Autococker Outkast now with no tanks or anything? I am moving more towards having a pretty decent gun with everything I need to have fun for $350 over spending the money it is going to take to have fun playing paintball with a really good Outkast.

Thoughts on this matter and please let me know if the A-5 is really that good of a gun. If you can think of some better options I should go with to spend my $350 to $400 I would greatly appreciate it. Keep in mind with the $350 to $400 I want to be ready to load the gun up with paint and start playing now.

E-A5, V-force Mask(Shield), 20oz Tank (With what evers left over buy some paint)

Thats about 410$ + S&H.

Also its not Really The Uber Kool Stuff you have its mainly how Fun you have, and you'll have plenty of Thrills with The A5. Then later on you can Upgrade the Barrel, Drop kit, Etc...

Ahh you mean an E Grip on an A-5 right? If that is what you mean let me know please. Also I hear that a lot of places are not cool with you using the Response Trigger. Should I just get an A-5 with the E Grip then if that is what you mean?

A5 with a E-grip installed.

Its pretty Kool, check it out on the Tippmann site, its under systems then go to Egrip its pretty nice and has some pretty good modes of Fireing.

Edit: Yea, alot of places are banning the R/T due to Trigger bounce... And the E-grip is much better for the A5 then R/T would be anyway.
