My latest A-5 (this one will be my woodsball gun). It has a Lapco
bigshot 14" bead blasted, BT double trigger, pen spring mod as well as
some sear mods to make the trigger lighter, trigger stop, expansion
chamber, and a hyper star bolt. Rate it if you like, 1-10 and any tips
would be helpfull.

I was wondering about that, does the A-5 need any mods to take n2 or can I just put on a tank ? -------------

I like he barrel. MY recommendation is to NOT get a drop. You don't have a foregip, so it's already forward heavy. ------------- 2k4 Viking SCM, MM JMJ roller trigger WAS 1.6 WAS eyes, WAS switch Dye Minidrop CP on/off |

| u dont need a flatline that lapco is wayyy more accurate and u will waste to much money on a flatline. |

...no. I shot a 14" A5 Bigshot, it was ok, then I shot a flatline. It's a fact that flatlines > bigshots, althought a bigshot is good for the money. ------------- I guarantee that I am better than you at Halo 2. |

It looks good. Just get some Nitro on there and a reg or something...

the drop being hated is out of control, if you have a drop you will develop techniqe with the drop, not to mention if you have a big tank the gun is long as hell. let him use what he likes best. Very clean A5, i reccomend a nitro tank, and an egrip |

Hmm, I like the way it lines up for me right now without the
drop/remote it's excellent for quick, around corner type shots. I
suppose I'll go for n2 or a firepower upgrade next. Not quite sure
about going to a flatline yet. I'll have to wait till my friend gets
one and see how it works for him.

It does what it's supposed to, improves accuracy and it never chops now
even with crappy paint (not that the A-5 has a chopping problem
anyway). You have to turn up your velocity a bit when you get it
but that's about the only drawback.

| if you dont want a flatline, get like an mp5 shroud or an m4 shroud, im not for milsim, but if you dont want the foregrip, the barrel cant be that comfertable to hold onto |

Nah, the expansion chamber actually makes for a fairly good grip.

you don't have to have a low pressure system for an A-5 to use HPA/Nitro |

I assume that you know...jack crap... My A-5, with a 68/4500 and a dead on bullet drop, is balanced perfectly... I can put one finger in the trigger guard, and the gun will be nearly level. |
