despite what ppl say about the flatline, with good paint the barrel is by far one of my favorites. i mean since when is it not cool to shoot someone and not get shot back. but anyway i wanna try and reduce recoil as much as possible so how do you think this setup would work. low pressure kit, no2, palmer stabilzer. |

That will reduce the kick alot. You can also get a Rear Velocity adjuster and adjust it to get your LPK pressures even lower. ------------- My A-5 : http://img114.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img114&image=a5withdesciptionsnew18xu.jpg">

lpk will lower recoil. In fact the LPK is really the only thing you can do to
lower the recoil on your Tippmann. -------------

Get the LPK its very beneficial and so much better than an Ion. It will reduce kick a lot as well as make it more quiet, and less likly to break balls. Theres also better efficiancy and consistancy. -------------

polishing your internals will help too. when you polish them it makes the gun cycle easier so it dosent need as much air to cycle the gun so therefore you can run at even lower pressures ------------- a5 polished internals flatline custom aluminum foregrip drop e grip w/custom blade trigger palmer stabalizer 71ci 4500psi dye throttle dye invisions vision impy tapeworm crossfire 88/45 EVO |

Do I really have to look up the definition of the word recoil for you? Go
buy a dictionary. BTW Since we've dug up an old topic, I'd like to add that the fact that you have a flatline on your tippy has little to nothing to do with the amount of recoil your gettin from your marker. -------------

Screw out your veocity screw so that none protrudes into the power
tube, and there will be no turbulence in the tube to slow the
gas. Use an HPR to adjust to the right velocity to use the best
air efficiency. ------------- VSC Phantom w/ Palmer Stabilizer + Vertical Pump Handle |

Recoil??? The recoil of an A5 is miniscule. Either add weight to the gun, work out more or both. |

While you may think that the A-5's recoil is minimal, there's enough recoil
in the A-5 to bounce the tip of the barrel and throw your shots off by about 10" or more at 75-100'. I guarantee you that your shots are not landing on top of each other while shooting 12bps. Next time you get the chance, fire your gun at about 12-15 bps, watch the tip of the barrel bounce. This is called recoil. A-5's have alot more recoil than Shockers, Matrix's, Intimidators, and Angels etc. For the average rec player this recoil may be "minimal" but for the serious player, it is usually unacceptable. -------------
