Don't even try it. I put $600 into my A-5 for speed and was so unhappy with it becuase of it's huge profile and weight. Get another marker. ------------- ! ! ! ! ! ! |

dont get a new marker jsut becasue u want to play speed and have an a-5. if u set it up right a-5 is a great cheap speedball gun. get a small drop with an on/off and a compressed air tank. if u love ur a-5 after that and like speed still, get an e grip. then u can play speed where ever u want in tourneys cause rt is illegal in tourneys ------------- Tankdude |

| I agree with bugsy, by the time you fully trick out the a5 you would of spent less to just get a b2k or something like that and have a better gun for speedball. |

STOCK complaining about everything. YA I kidna agree, there's better guns for speedball, jsut because of the weight length and profile. ------------- 2k4 Viking SCM, MM JMJ roller trigger WAS 1.6 WAS eyes, WAS switch Dye Minidrop CP on/off |

| For speed tippmanns suck! but you dont have to get another gun, just upgrade it alot, barrel-freak system or maybe a boom stick. umm nitro, u will need the low pressure system, so that might set u back(money wise), get a drop. If you want, my friend had an A-5 and he changed all the internal parts to the lightest parts you could ever find. |
