The only way to get more range is by getting a flatline or apex (assuming your velocity remains constant)
and if u want a fast tippmann drop the cash for an e bolt on the c pro and u wont be sorry |

okay, if you want one to be range and the other to be fast, here is my suggestion, buy a flatline for your A-5. The flatline for the A-5 is much less of a hassle to deal with than the 98 flatline. or alternativly you could buy an Apex, but I cant really comment on those since I havent seen them in action. now that you got you gun for range, now for speed. Since you got a Custom pro, for speed just buy yourself an E-grip. you COULD buy yourself an E-bolt, if you can find one somewhere at a goodprice, and since you said you dont got that much cash, I would scrap that idea, E-bolt in general are very expensive. so anyways, buy yourself an E-grip, get yourself a good hopper that can keep up, and buy a regulator, my suggestion would be a Palmers Stablizer. its your choice on which one to get. they have several kinds which you set up differently, but alot like the male version that would go in your front grip if you have a vertical assembly. alternativly if you decided to sell the custom pro. and go all out on the A-5. buy yourself a flatline AND a regular barrel like a J&J ceramic or a Lapco Bigshot, get an E-grip, and upgrade your cyclone with a vortex mod and Quick Exaust Valve. besides that again maybe buy yourself a regulator. -------------
