Added a Dead On Blade trigger, new 4 inch hose, and finished the hopper. http://www.imageshack.us"> http://www.imageshack.us"> http://www.imageshack.us"> http://www.imageshack.us"> Any suggestions on what to get next? I am going for a speedball look but for the woods. Which means i'm going to keep it camo'd but give it a compact speedball feel.

I'm not looking to add any firepower upgrades like the E-grip though.

| If you want a speedball look, the A-5 is not the best speedball gun, but with a vertical adapter instead of the cyclone, you can make a great gun. |

Seeing as I have an A-5, I'm going to work with that. I don't like the look of the vertical adaptor with the x chamber.

Wow, that's one of the few A-5's that I really like. That 4 inch hose looks really good, really clean. Don't get that foregrip, the plastic one looks really good as is. And don't go for the vertical adapter either. Looks very good the way it is. As for fire power, get an RT. I've had an Egrip and it gave me a lot of trouble. The rt's are just better. ------------- Video: http://pbvids.gamesxposed.com/files1/RTP.1116548567.wmv - My Automag RT Pro ::: http://boydsters-pics.mypicgallery.com/ - My Gallery ::: |

Very nice, you gotta love the olive on the black Tippy. Only problem is the hopper is a little messy, and to fix that all you need is a little paint thinner!. 9.5/10 Great job man! ------------- http://www.specialopspaintball.com/brigade/member_view.asp?id=8326">

Actually I agree with you. I re-did the hopper so the mouth is smaller and the eyes are better. Yeah the hopper is a bit crapped up but it's all good. I've been looking into HPA. I need a good recommendation on which tank. Nothing huge. Maybe like 3000psi ------------- http://imageshack.us">

I actually really like it. As for upgrades, nothing too drastic...maybe
replace the X-chamber with an inline reg (Torpedo, Palmers, or WGP
Black Magic are my fav's) and upgrade to HPA. If you want a nice,
light, compact tank, go with a fiber-wrapped 45/45

Actually I have thought about a Flatline. I'm not sure yet though because my friend is looking into getting one for his 98 and he might sell me his 14" Boomstick. I kind of like the look of a regular barrel on it but if I find one for a good price I'll pick it up. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

Relax dude. I wasn't really going for a camouflage look, just a solid olive drab, mainly for looks. As for the shark, I happen to like it, as do most other people here. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

you should get a macro line. i had the same xchamber on mine and used a 90* fitting with 2 elbows so its just a straight piece instead of a curved braided line. also a cheap upgrade. ------------- A5=GTA:R/T,Dbl trig Lapco:Offset,Chrome Drop,Bead Blasted Foregrip, M.Gun Shroud,Mount and 14"BeadBlasted Snapshot. 32* Drop,ComStock, 14"Xcel,Red Dot Scope,Light,SP Inline on/off and PureEnergy Tank. |

Looks pretty good. I'd have to say tho, the hopper in the pic is in
desperate need of being cleaned up. Why don't you paint it a solid green and have a sign shop cut you some vinyl for the mouth, eyes, and star? It will look 100x better. Lose the front grip for a speedball look. I think the A-5 balances better when you grip it from the middle anyway. -------------
