Which upgrade should I get first? I want to get an e grip for my Tippmann A5 and HPA. I have a budget so I was wondering what would be a better upgrade. I know CO2 is harder on my gun and that is why I'm not sure if I should invest in a HPA tank first before I get my E grip. and does anyone know how many shots I would get with my 9 ounce CO2 tank? |

I would say e-grip first,that's just opinion though. 9oz 500-600 maybe. ------------- Custom Pro 48/3000,evil bottom Cyclone/ricochet Super R/T LPK AKA Sidewinder/cp guage Shocktech superfly 14" j&j Polished int. Pen spring mod Hybrid girls |

I'd go with the Egrip first. A lot of people run their A5s off CO2 without harm. You'll get 450-550 shots out of a 9. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

No, I disagree 100%. Always buy supporting mods before buying the mod itself.
If you want a firepower upgrade, you need to at minimum have an aggitated hopper (if not forcefed) and a expansion chamber. Optimally you would get a forcefed hopper and HPA. Consider yourself lucky if you get 500 out of a 9 ozer. -------------

| ^^ He's got an A-5.... He wont need a hopper.... But yeah I'd stick with CO2, and then get the E-Grip... It will work out good for you... People think CO2 isn't great at all but it works fine.... Get the E-Grip, stick with CO2 then get a nice expansion chamber... Maybe an X-core... They cost around $20.00, get it all from http://www.countysports.com - County Sports ... |
