I just began playing paintball and now I'm hooked. I've been renting the WGP Trilogy autococker everytime I play and I have to admit that they do work fairly well. There are a handful of players out here that have tippy a-5's and a majority of the owners are happy w/them even those w/the flatline barrel. Myquestion is....as a Recreational player (im not going pro or playing tourney's I play mostly longball or woods ball) should I save a few hundred bucks and buy an a-5 with the r/t option or should I just go for it and save the ca$h for a nice autococker? thanks |

Well if you are only going to play woodsball I would say the a5. I dunno about the r/t because it is illegal at most fields so check at your field first. But if you want a cool looking marker that you can upgrade and have look good and possibly play some speedball, I would go with the autococker. But I do believe auto-cockers are high maintenance (from what I hear, I have never used one) ------------- http://img25.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img25&image=mysnowboard9md.jpg">

| If you have been comfortable shooting the rented Trilogy, start there. If you find the A-5 to feel better in your hands, get that. Its as simple as that. Both will perform well, so your comfort is the key. |

Since
you are probably not planning on going into any tournment any time soon
going with the Rt-A5 is a smart idea, the R/T is a blunt method of
operation, but sometimes the simplest things work the best. Also with a
Autococker you may need to save up for a HPA source, which for some is
not a fun thing to do, and the A5 will work just fine with C02.

get an a-5, then get a new barrel, then upgrade to HPA, then get a E-grip and whatever you want after that... ------------- "According to Sue Johanson, theres nothing that can increase your manhood, trust me I've already looked into it for myself." -Zata |

first, you dont need HPA tank to use the cocker unless u go electro... and on the trilogy, u cant, so he can use the trilogy with CO2. and what kind of a budget are you on? that will help me figure out a nice setup for u klajkl -------------

I'm on a $500 budget and I figured that w/that kind of budget I can get
an r/t equipped a-5 and flatline barrel.......other people are persuading me to save a little more and get a WGP w/e-blade.......by the way why are r/t triggers banned in some fields? |
