well paintballs arent accurate enough for sights so i think thats cosmetic
that gas thru stock...well i dont see the point besides it looking cool cuz you can use a tank to put against your shoulder just as good
and as for the hopper it doesnt feed faster or anything, it just looks different
the only upgrade on your tippmann that i would think that would help the performance would be the flatline

if you have the e-grip get a double trigger. yeah most of those are cosmetic. red dot/sight doesnt work cuz like naked said, paintballs dont travel perfectly straight. how much air does the stock hold?

with the flatline, a red-dot actually becomes usefull. the hopper, in my expereince, reduces hopper hits by deflection. i guess the stock is just pref. i like having the tank of me, but i see your point.

i dont get how the red-dot is useful with the flatline, especially if its like really bright outside...but hey, if youre all about woodsball and making ur gun look like a real gun then cool

it is an air-through to a remote. imo, the flatline shoots straight enough for a dot to be usefull.

also, it is more than bright enough in any sunlight.

so, double trigger, why? what about the qev?

instead of getting all those ups (besides the flatline) i would have gotten and e-grip for the a-5 instead. imo much more better for the preformance. but if you choose looks over effectiveness i can see that too

yeah, its pretty cool. everybody that i play with (98's, spyders) crapped their pants. it shoots well, but i only got about 800 shots of a 68/4500. kinda heavy, hurts my back a little. i did score much better than i did with my old pro-lite. the turbo mode is cool.

looks nice 8/10 double trigger because the e grip makes the trigger more sensitive and a double will make you shoot even faster
