Ok well, I have an
  • a-5
  • 16" J&J ceramic
  • BT double trigger
  • Stock

Now my friends are going in on a bulk deal for 3 nitros @ 72 ci/3000 psi for 170$ (Pure energy), so dont suggest that.

My real question is what do I need to be a quiet. I don't necessarily want to snipe, its more to have a quiet gun/accurate that wont give me away when im trying to run/shoot across the field. The J&J is very quiet, so dont its not really worth suggesting.
I think that Nitro will help with being accurate but, will a
  • new bolt
  • Bipod
  • inverted tank
 help?

I don't want to go remote, im going to invert my tank to keep it more compact because I play dagger/Sabre, but I want a bit more consistancy with my shots.

Also I think that if I get a bipod, it should be folding

I would suggest a firepower upgrade, like a RT or E-grip. Its really up to you, what do you think that your gun needs? What don't you like about it? After you answer that question, you will know what to buy.

It's a Tippmann. It wont ever be quiet, especially the A-5s (because you can't put E-bolts on them, and an Ebolt with an LPK is pretty damn quiet)

heres an idea be like me get an r/t or and egrip and then get a 8in bigshot make your gun louder... most ppl feel like i have made the first full auto canon

*edit* and get ups that will make the most difference for your buck like dont buy a new bolt cuz you wont see a difference save that money and the money for that bipod and you will maybe have enough for an r/t and with a r/t u will actually see a difference of about 8-10bps

You're going to be heard regardless. All Tippmanns are loud by nature. The only bolt I'd suggest is the Rufus Dawg Wicked bolt. Besides that, stock internals are best. Bipods are a hassle and not worth it. Inverted tanks are kind of a hassle. Just look into a remote line. I would say look into a Palmer's male Stabilizer and some sort of firepower upgrade.

Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good.

You could always go "hawaiian style" as it is called and reverse the tank. You would probably need the little adapter block and maybe a new ASA to do this though. Its easy on a 98c but not on A5's
