Nitro and lpks are wastes of money. Get a blade to go with your e-grip and maybe a drop. ------------- Signatures are **edited** |

| e-grips more of a waste of money than hpa! but the lpk isnt really worth it. lpk's work better with co2 than with hpa. u need to get a regulator- get a torpedo or palmer. |

the lpk has more advantages when using co2 than it does when using hpa,
if it were my a-5 i would go with what you have plus a blade trigger a
nice drop, some macroline, and i would get the lpk if i had the money,
but i would probably get a better mask or a snapshot from lapco or
something along those lines with the money before i bought a lpk EDIT:
he has an a-5....... -------------

If the LPK reduced the amount of gas/air used by a large margin, I'd go for it. I haven't heard that it does, but that's what I assumed when I heard about it. Definitely get the JCS Duel Trigger for the E-grip! Probably the best upgrade you can get for $35. Here's a couple of places you can order it from. Springer Paintball is the cheapest I've found it. http://bp-usa.com/ - http://bp-usa.com/ http://springerpaintball.home.insightbb.com/jcs.html - http://springerpaintball.home.insightbb.com/jcs.html ------------- A-5 Armson DOT Sight Armson Raised Sightrail DOP Bullet Drop DOP RVA DOP X-Core DOP Vertical Adapter E-Grip(APE) Flatline Barrel HPA JCS Duel Trigger Lightening Bolt QEPH Vortex Mod |

the lpk uses more air, since your air pressure is cut almost in half (i
think its half, im not sure about the operating pressures and all) your
bolt needs to hold the valve open longer which releases more air into
your system so the ball can still get up to 300fps even with the lower
pressure, but even though you will kill your shots per tank you'll get
a much quieter operation with less recoil and you can use more brittle
paint

LPK = worthless, not worth the $$$ < there is one post where enos posted in detail why it is a waste, and its better for co2 than hpa, try and serch for the post, i would just get a mac dev 04 glatior reg if u only run on HPA, if not a Palmer reg, will preform better than the torpedo if u use both, i would personlly stay away from the torpedo |

Wow- everyone's dictating whats a waste and what isn't. NOTHING he has posted is a waste of money. It is his choice whether that advantages he gains are worth that much to him- some people think less noise and less recoil can be worth the cost for the LPK. The ease of use and shooting capability of the E-grip is worth it. A STABILIZER is worth it on CO2, and is only worth on for Nitro if you have the LPK ('cause you need a reg). And a Duel trigger can allow you to shoot faster when not in full-auto/turbo for the e-grip. It's all on how much yopu got, how much you want to spend, and what you want out of yuor gun's performance/ looks. ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |
