Hey, I was wondering if anything new come out for the A5 since last summer. I have a A5 with basically everything you can buy.  ( i play speedball) good barrel, ape board, nice trigger, air upgrades, and internels and hopper upgrades.

 

is there any parts that really stand out for performence? I dont know what to buy for my a5 anymore and i dont know if something better came out that everyone is liking.   I know its hard to say w/o my list of stuff that is on my gun. i will upload all the stuff i got on my gun and a pic tom.

the pic. below is outdated. VV  (new picture is comming soon)

Lightening Rod to go along with the Vortex Mod.  Perhaps an RVA?

You may check out an RVA to help fine-tune your velocity. You might also check out a Ricochet R5 to lower the profile of the gun.

Am I reading this right? You've got a tricked out A-5 and you play speedball, but you're still looking to dump more money into a marker that can't truly shine on the speedball field? Save your money and start looking at high-end markers. You could probably have bought an Ego for the price you've paid for everything on your A5. Don't take me the wrong way here, I love Tippmann markers, I've still got my first pro-lite, but as a wise man once said, you can spend $100,000 tricking out a Honda Civic, but in the end, it's still a Honda Civic. If you really enjoy speedball to the point that it is your main game, start putting that upgrade money into a savings account and save up for a used '06 ego, DM6, Shocker, Angel, etc.
