Ok I cant decide which a-5 i want. Either the e-grip, or response, or maybe even the stock. I had a 98 custom for my first gun. A autococker for my second and i currently have a smart parts ion. The ion is a good gun, but for some reason i really miss my old 98 custom. I tried a a-5 at my local paintball shop and i like it, but dont know which one to get. I love to shoot fast, so i play speedball alot, and sometimes woodsball. Id like a opinion on which one to get and maybe some suggestions for some good first upgrades for the gun. And id like a opinion fast cause im either selling or trading my ion for the a-5 on wed. |

E-grip if you play tournys, R/T if you don't. If you get an e-grip get a WAS or APE board. -------------

| Since you imply you want it for speedball, there's a chance that they won't let you use a R/T, so your best choice is an egrip since you like to shoot fast. |

| Ok ill get a egrip but theres only one problem, the paintball shop is charging 400 bucks for a egrip. but they did have a used a-5 with a egrip and a aftermarket barrel for 310, do u guys think the used one is a good deal. And i was also thinking that i could buy the stock a-5 new, and try it for a game, and then buy a egrip separately from ebay or something. |

I would buy the stock A-5, play with it for a little while, see what you want to change about it. Then buy your upgrades. -------------

| Well the guy just wouldnt give me much money for the ion, only 80 bucks, so im going to keep it for a while maybe some good upgrades. Then i might sell it on ebay, towards and a-5 with an egrip. |
