said the r/t but you play speed.)
. double trigger
.some mods(trigger mods, polishing your internals & many more)
.....if you said how much money you can spend i would'nt have gave
this broad of a upgrades.

ok...the upgrades i recommend will do good for speed and woods.
you may want to get a nice pod pack, paintball pants, jersey or just
some camo BDu's and before i forget to say the palmers male
stabilizer i recommended works with both co2 and hp tanks. it's also
better than a x-chamber.

Buy a nice mask...   you will have more fun wearing a nice mask than a cheap
entry level one.   I recommend V-Force.

I could really help ya with this one because all i play is woodsball, first of all i'll tell you what I have in my gun. I have a A-5 with response trigger which the trigger is a double, I have a eyes wide open red dot scope, and a flatline barrel, I also upgraded my front bolt to a dead on seal bolt. I recommend a flatline barrel, and response trigger, and if you have some extra money get that red dot scope because those are good for picking off people. The flatline barrel will give you an advantage in woods because you could shoot farther than anyone else and in speed ball it shoots just as good as any other barrel, the response trigger I would recommend over the electric because you could go from single shot to full auto just with your trigger finger while with the electric you have to push all those buttons to switch to different mode which while your doing that it could let the other person move up on ya with out you knowing if your not quick at it.

fyrefly is right about the mask I know that when I first started playing I had one of those cheap mask and kept fogging up and when that happens you wont play very good and wont take chances and be aggressive. I got a mask from dye and I love it, it has never fogged up once because of the thermal lens. So if you don't have a good mask get one with a thermal lens you will play a lot more better.

Why would you EVER have to change the modes of your E-Grip??   I keep
mine in semi-auto all the time, and I can go from "single shot to full auto
with just my trigger finger"!!    I can EASILY cap the board of the E-Grip by
walking the trigger in semi-auto. I haven't ever changed the mode of my E-
Grip since I first got it and set it to semi-auto. I've never needed to.

all those are good upgrades just don't get an RT if you play speed ball because some tournaments don't let you play if you have the RT.

i was thinking bout getting the r/t but i dont know if the tourneys will allow them. And with the egrip is that legal and what is the difference between the auto-response and the turbo. Also if i do get an egrip in a tourney is it legal to put it on the auto-response or the turbo? Last thing is there any drop forward that can fit on the a5 without a universal mount and possibly with a gauge

Thanks a ton
