Theres always the pen spring mod. If you don't know about it, just search the forum for it, or the rest of the internet, there are tons of guides for it. Its simple and quick. -------------

Why would you want to take off the R/T? Do you plan to play alot of tournies with it? I would think that you could go back to stock with it?

Yes, you can take the RT off without having to buy parts, as long as it comes with the stock hoses and fittings. Not much to do about getting a higher ROF with a mechanical trigger except maybe to get a double trigger. You'd be better off getting an E-Grip as that will lighten your pull. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

Trigger mods wont help you at all. The R/T will be much much faster than any trigger mods will get you.

With trigger mods you wont see much for an increase in bps. If you looking to play in tournaments seriously your going to either need: A) A new gun OR B) An E-grip w/ upgraded board ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

I'm pretty sure the RT comes with different hoses for the cyclone feed and also new banjo fittings. If you take out the RT, I assume you'd need to put the stock banjo fittings and cyclone hose back in. Someone who has one could tell you better than me. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

Why do you have to ask? Use your manual and look at the spare parts you have. You could probably just take off the banjo tee and replace it with the normal banjo fitting. Also, the r/t can be turned off, so it's tournament legal as long as it's off. Just leave it attached. ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |

You only need the standard A-5 manual if you're getting rid of the r/t... duh? :P Just screw the r/t adjuster all the way in and it's off. ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |

You can do fine with a stock a-5, just get a double trigger and do whatever you can to lighten it. E-grip would help tonnes. ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |

^^^ Yea but if you plan to go in to tournys Id get a Egrip. I used my tippy stock for a few tournys and you can but its alot harder. With a stock Tippmann you can get about 4-6Bps. With a bunch of trigger modes,4-10 Bps. Mines walkable at about 5-6bps. In tournys every one else is going to be shooting 12+ bps. Get a Egrip or use RT. |

Ok, if your gonna play any tourny, you need a good gun. Here's what I would buy with $240.00 A.) JCS double finger trigger, Good barrel kit (stiffi), and a E-grip with a WAS board. B.) Sell your whole setup (a5, rt, everything) and buy an Smartparts Ion, Halo B hopper, and a good HPA tank. ------------- ~~My gun~~ *A5* CP 1 Piece barrel 47/3000 nitro tank E-grip with APE board JCS duel trigger QEV kit Shocktech Rel.

ok what should i get 1st HPA or E-grip?..do need HPA if get the E-Grip? -------------

| ^^No you don't need Hpa for it. I'd geta Egrip first, then Hpa. With Co2 and egrip tho don't expect as meny shots per tank or great consistancy Because of ROF issues. |

get the egrip first for sure. i know ill get flamed for it, and i dont
even personally believe it, but ive heard a LOT of people say that
tippmanns run better off Co2. They DO work fine. Better? not in my
opinion. but definitely get the Egrip first, then get the comp.
air tank as your next major up.

3 bps will keep someones head down as well as 15 bps, try it stock befor you spend the money. It'll help you hone your skills as well. You may suck and lose in the beginning, but you'll get the hang of it, and you'll end up a much better player.

Maybe get a palmers stab befor you get air as well. In my oppinion, a co2 tank regulated by a palmers will be as good as an HPA tank not using a secondary reg, and when you finally do get HPA, you will have the secondary reg to be extremely consistant. If I were you, E-grip > Palmers > HPA ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |

right on RavenGuard. the HPA ISNT NECESSARY AT ALL for a tippmann. and as he said, if there are paintballs flying above your head, you will duck. How many times a second do you need to miss someone? at a low ROF you will eventually become more accurate and smarter, so when you finally get to a higher ROF then you will be unstoppable. Same theory as starting off with a pump gun, which i should have done. EVERYONE SHOULD! ------------- CPro (w/ polished internals) 14" Bigshot BT SBS Various Rails NcSTAR D4B Macro AA 68/45
