Its very big and bulky and the cyclone is basicly a big target.

Its not like you cant play speedball with the a5, its just gets in the way more than more compact markers made for speedball.

nothing is wrong with using an A-5 in speedball. It rocks in both but you can upgrade it to fit either one. I use it in speedball and it's awesome.

ya i agree with bass654321 i use my A-5 for both speedball and woodsball cause my A-5 is fast enough for speedsball with my e-grip and it is durable and has enough range with my flatline for woodsball

No one beats the unstoppable force of me and my
A-5!!!!!!!

Ok thnx alot.

And BTW, an E-grip makes the gun automatic correct?  If so, what exactly does a response trigger do?

Nope, an E-Grip does not make the A-5 automatic. There is an
automatic setting, but that's not your only option. You have
Turbo mode (a shot for each pull and release), semi (with a
LOT shorter trigger pull), 3 shot burst, etc. A response trigger
kit is, essentially, a little cylinder that is dropped into the gun
that when pressed lightly, will "kick" the trigger back at you,
making it automatic. Pulling hard on the trigger will shoot one
shot.

A-5 is a fine speedball gun and it can keep up with the cockers and high end guns.  remember, the marker doesn't make you good you make you good

There's nothing wrong w/ using the A-5, there isn't anything wrong w/ using any gun. Most people prefer lighter, faster, more compact, and smaller guns, the A-5 doesn't offer that (unless the speed thing)

But, anybody can use any gun, its just their personal reference.

My friend used his A5 w/Flatine & RT in speedball...as soon as the game started, he immediatley took out 5 players that was trying to charge up the middle.

It's a sin against nature. A curse will fall on you and your family if you do use it in speedball.

On a more serious note, most people are right handed and it's a shame the bulky cyclone feedsystem is on the right side of the gun.

 Nothing is wrong with using the A-5 for speedball, it's just that you have to spend 120 bucks to make it electric. And you can't walk the dawg with it. If you could then you could only do 15bps. The hopper really isn't a problem because my friend plays speedball all the time with his A-5 and he has never gotton shot on the cyclone feed system or the "big" hopper as some people say. Nothing is wrong with using the A-5 for speedball. But the upgrades you spend on making it speedball material will add up to making you gun like 400 and something dollars, which is close to a new B2K. Or a BKO. So I would look into another gun if you like speedball and are serious about it.
