I just bought a compressed air tank for my tippmann a5, but I didn't get a low pressure kit though because I was informed that I could use the gun without it. I was wondering if anyone recommends getting the low pressure kit anyway or doesn't it make that big of a difference. What is the big difference?
Also, I'm kind of reluctent to get the flatline, I want to hear from actual users what the pros and cons are and do you recommend it or a different barrel. |

You can use your gun without it and it doesnt make a big
difference. It does make your marker a bit more consistent though
and gives you more shots per fil. ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |

| I would look at a firepower upgrade before I would go for the lpk. I run my 98C on a screw in hpa tank and it works great. I am not a big flatline fan. I just tend to go for simple and bombproof. |

| a5 will wrk wit out it but same said get more shots a fill. em i got the flatline on one of my 98c and it wasn't hard to install or to take care of. It shoots great. If u rlly wanna spend the money on it u can get it for like $100 or get a lapco bigshot shot for like $40-50. |

Getting the LPK really won't make a difference. The Flatline is a good barrel. So if you want to be able to shoot farther, then the Flatline is the barrel for you. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

The LPK is not really a necessary upgrade, I would save it for the last
upgrade you can get... if you want to further improve your marker. The LPK is designed to give you: More consistency over the chrono Less Recoil Less Report Personally I tend not to use my A-5 Flatline that much... I think it needs to be re-sandblasted or something. I play alot of speedball and like to use my J&J barrel alot. I am considering getting either a St!ffi or a Snapshot in the future. -------------

LPK does make a differance. Its more quiet, much more consistant. softer on paint, more efficiant, and has all the other benefits of a LP gun. Pretty much every single high-end gun is LP because itsmore practical and better, so why not make your A-5 like that? -------------
