I think I am going to get an E-grip, SmartParts Teardrop barrel, and a double trigger kit. What do you guys think about it? Any suggestions or things that you think I should change would be appreciated.

i would definitly invest good money (if you haven't already) on a n2 tank...i have ran my gun with both co2 and n2....c02 kills da consistency of ur shots on the tippmanns so definitely invest money on a n2 tank....also...if you have the money get the flatline...i have it on my set up...neva had a ball break yet... good luck...

P.S. to be honest...only reason y i purchased a tippmann is to get that realism upgraded into the gun...more of a hobby than performance upgrade

I don't like the looks or performance of the Flatline. It shoots far, but not very accurate. The N2 tank is a good idea, what is a good one for a tippmann? And BTW I think I'm going to get a DYE boomstick instead of the smartparts barrel.

the reason y teh accuracyis bad for the tippmann flatline i think is the front bolt thats in ur gun...the standard one is plastic and that suks big time. i have the proseal metal bolt...works awesome...and for your hpa...i would get one thats small 45ci and fiberglass wrapped...but thats soome heavy money right there on the tank...i normally jus rent the compressed air tanks at the field to save some refill money

But for now:

1. Proseal frontbolt upgrade should be arround 30 bucks....u can get it at www.*************.com

2. the broom stick....i dont really noe i heard misconceptions of both this barrel and flatlines...my sugesstion ...try them out first...if ur friends have it...

3. tank...theres a 70 buck tank...by crossfire...but its not really teh best one but still hpa...normal prices for hpa are 150 and up

Just because your adding aftermarket parts doesnt mean your customizing it...

Doing something like painint it, milling, fitting parts from a diff gun onto yours. Upgrades are normal...

Get the FLatline Barrel and responce trigger. the only reason i am saying to get the responce trigger is because my friend got it for his tippmann and it was tight.....

The e-grip is way better than the response trigger. Or to put it in your words it's way more "tight."

You guys are just splitting hairs...either word can be used.....anyway go with the e-grip...double trigger took me a bit to get to work...maybe it was just mine, and if you really want the milsim look take a peek at the Lapco Supressor set...

thats my baby.....

The reason the A-5 is inaccurate is because it's a blow-back marker period. Bolt design perfomance between a metal and plastic bolt hasn't been shown to make a difference by ANY test. Did you do a test with a secured A-5 with the exact same consistency, position, and paint? Of course if you get a new upgrade you're going to "think" it's better because it's different, hell it's an upgrade it's supposed to be better. But let's not spread "rumors".

Anyway. I'd suggest getting the JCS Dual trigger. Xpaintball.com doens't carry it. You can view more information on the trigger at www.bp-usa.com. That will make your E-grip adjustable and you could probably get it to a mouse click without having to do all of the trigger stop and spring mods on the standard double trigger.

A HPA tank isn't going to make a huge difference, it's a blowback, so lets be serious, it's never going to be as consistant as a cocker, timmy, or trix. You could probably fine tune it to about +/- 3-5FPS. If you get a Reg get a CP or Palmer's Stabilizer all the way. HPA tanks, eh, everyone has their favorites. You know what's good. Get a fiber wrapped tank of course, that way you're not just adding even more weight to the A-5. But I know plenty A-5 owners who do just fine with an A/S C02 tank and an exp. chamber for rec-ball/speedball.

Unless you're playing tournaments (and if you did you more than likely wouldn't be using an A-5) I'd suggest to just stick with C02, it will be fine. You could spend that extra money elsewhere.

Good luck.

i'd say keep the stock barrel at first and see if you can borrow some other barrels to fire at the range

also, depending on which paint you like one barrel might be a better fit than other.. check the paint and barrel size tables

the e-grip and double trigger are a good combo and are all you need to rip
