I'm a woodsballer.  Today, for the first time, I played speedball, and it ROCKED!  I'm seriously considering selling my A-5 and getting Something for speedball...

Should I

1. Upgrade my A-5 for speedball or...

2. Sell my A-5 and get a speedball gun...

Also, my A-5 is set up as follows:

-Flatline

-LPK with Ergo Autococker Reg + Gauge

-Adco Red Dot Sight

-Drop forward Adapter (not on gun yet)

What do you think it would sell for?

Sell the A-5 and get an Ion if you plan on playing alot of speedball.


But with the ion you'll need hpa and a good electro hopper.

Yeah, I'd sell the a-5 and get either an Ion or a Wrath. You will need a good electric hopper and hpa.

HPA= High Pressure Air. And yes, that's the same thing as an N2 bottle. I'd also suggest getting an Ion. Since you already got a Nitro bottle, you'll only need an Electric hopper.

He's right. I upgraded from a 98 to an Ion and haven't looked back since.
