You could always take off the cyclone and add a Halo B or an Eggy. Just a thought.... You have most of the mandatory mods. Most of the rest is just personal preferance. You could always buy a drop. I yeah I almost forgot. You need tons of stickers. ZOMG!!! ZOMG!!! YOU NEED STICKERS! LOTS OF THEM!! |

| Well....you see....hmmm....how to put this.....you take off your cyclone and put the halo on in its place. I guess that really isn't necessary though because the e-grip is pretty much capped at 17 bps....unless of course you got a WAS board. |

^^In order to use a Halo on an A-5 you need a centerfeed kit (or any other regular hopper). ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

Yes, that is correct. O, did I forget to tell him that? Oops! It doesn't matter anyways because I said he doesn't really need the Halo. Do some homemade trigger mods or something like that.

If you're really looking to make you're A-5 fast then I'd get the WAS board and a centerfeed kit and a Halo. Otherwise you're pretty much set. If you don't want to get the WAS/Halo combo then look into a barrel kit like the Freak. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

| mod your trigger to make it so you can walk it nice and fast.. thats all id really do to change it though. As far as drop or unimount neither is better its just what is more comfortable for you, even though a friend of mine pointed out the bigger the drop the more of your arm is exposed when your shooting. |
