Well, im getting an A-5 without E-Grip, but at some point i will get one,
but do all E-Grips come with the WAS Equalizer board? if not, what online store sells them with one. And can someone that had to put E-Grip on tell me how hard it is and basically wat u have to do to get it on. One more thing, plz dont tell me to get an A-5 with the E-Grip. THANKS! ------------- once i said during a thunderstorm "if im a noob at paintball, then let me be struck by lightning in 3 seconds. "1..2...." then i saw a bright light and everything went black. |

the egrip should just bolt on, but ive heard some stories about that messing up. and no, the egrips do not come with the was board stock. well, the older ones don't anyway. tippmann just recently bought the rights to the was board and i think they are putting it into their new egrips, so it depends on the generation you get. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

No it doesn't come with a WAS'ed board. Im not sure who all sells them, you would just have to look around. As for putting it on, I think that you just remove the stock grip and put the e-grip on. -------------

All new A-5 Egrips DO come with WAS boards now.
Its pretty easy to put on. Unscrew them and drop in a battery. Line everything back up and then screw it back together and connect it to the recievers. Tippmann is now using WAS boards as stock boards. However, you should check with who you buy it from first as there are many E-grips floating around with the stock tippmann board. |

I personally prefer the mechanical RT trigger over the E-Grip. No need to worry about batteries. |

Yea I bet tippmann effect wouldnt either.....its just not AGG enough lol......
Ive used shockers, karnivors, 98's and eventually an A-5 and I can say a guns a gun. With the right equipment on them you can shoot ropes regardless of the gun. Its personal preference. |

| I think A-5 is more for the rec player, hence why you'd just need the RT |

ALL NEW E-GRIPS HAVE THE WAS BOARD. any that don't are old and have been laying around not sold yet, if you ask for the one with the WAS you will get it.
