| I'd say go for an R/T. Great woodsball addition I hear. Otherwise you have a great setup. Go for a good 4+1 Harness and Remote too. Either that or get a drop and 4+1 Harness. Good luck and have fun with your new A-5. |

Get the E-grip. I have one and I like it a lot more than an
R/T. Anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't know what they're
talking about.

| The e-grip is awesome, I have it on my setup and haven't had too many issues with it. The only issue I think I've had is that it does tend to eat batteries somewhat quickly if you'r playing quite a bit. So you tend to change out batteries after every 2-3 days of playing. |

I guess I won't be getting the grip then...I have pretty small hands so they will probably fit the stock grip anyway. ------------- This sig doesnt fly. A-5 E-Grip Lapco Bigshot 12" (Bead Blasted) Maddmann Spring Kit |

Wow for that chunk of change you can get a a totaly different marker with many more upgrades and faster shooting than the A-5. A-5 is nice if you are going to convert it into a scenario marker or woods-ball marker. My 2 cents! -------------
