Get a new barrel (lapco bigshot), egrip, double trigger (JCS), drop forward, and an X-chamber.

a barrel is always the first upgrade you should get. then get the egrip. accuracy then firepower. |

I would say get a bigshot or Flatline, then get an egrip. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

Barrel (flatline is not always your best choice since it is SOOOOO dependant on proper paint match). eGrip is great, but I am not a fan of double trigger on an eGrip. Many faults have been reported & you don't really walk a electronic trigger like you do an R/T trigger. Then look at cheap upgrades like polished internals and a Rear Velocity Adjuster. ------------- A-5: 12" Ceramic, Egrip/WAS/Duel, HPA, MP5 sliding stock SMG-68: 12" Ceramic 68-Specials(8): 12"&14" Ceramic, 12V Revy *** 1 Tip-n-Strip, 1 Blue, 1 FA w/Qloader SL-68: 14" Ceramic SMG-60 Ext.
