i got a tippmann a-5 a standard not a high end gun ino but i got 150 dollars and the only thing else i can do is a egrip and a drop but my freind says that in speed ball they suck but i cant afford anything else cause of the total cost what would you do upgrade or give up...........

[bleachit]

who cares what your friend says? if you like your marker and can do well with it, then play with it

[Chronobreak]

theyr fine.

only problem i have with em is the feed system, that is surely going to be hit...ALOT on speedball.

[overkill8000]

yeah thats true i want an ion but with the tank cost and a good hopper its expensive speially whe i was just layed off

[gc82000]

if you are worried about hooper hits check ou the ricochet loader for the A5s. I know a guy in the local scene that rocks an A5 he is no the fastest shooter but he does well in his game.

i was thinkin about those hopper there pretty sharp

Get a long drop and a short barrel. Tippmanns are great guns, just way to long of a gun for speedball.

[overkill8000]

any other upgrades

Then why do most all of the players in professional paintball footage have long guns? I like my gun long and strong...

back on subject,
used bko with eyes 200-250?
used 3000 nitro tank 50-100
hopper egg(ewww) or halo. 60 for used egg, 80-90 for used halo.

OR you could wait until you find a new job.

I higly reccommend you save up your money for a nice gun that you really want. Remember, good things come to those who wait :)

my father said that, and i did it, and now i have this awesome warpedmag rt z grip blah blah blah life story...

so wait for a while. And if you want a speedball semi auto gun, get a mag, best smi out there (as far as i am concerned, more reliable and less needy than a cocker) and there is an unlimited amunt of ups you can get, and then there is here, a whole sight deticated to it where people like me help poeple like you.

Great advice.

Only get a different gun if YOU want it. Any gun can be used for speedball IMO

8-10 inch?

The long barreled guns you're seeing in the tourny footage are used for bending an inflatable around your marker, thereby making you much harder to hit while you can shoot since you're tucked in so tight.

lapco bigshot 7.5"

i heard some nice things about it. Plus, if you ever feel like it, you can add one of those lapco fake suppresors to make it look cool!

[Teamslayer76]

I was taking a look back at the Tippmann Effect guns and wow... They got some fancy tippmanns. :rofl:

Upgrades for your a5? Hmmmm Short Barrel, drop and maybe a lps for it? NO more chops.....
Oh and that Ricky Hopper its nice for speed ball cept for the looks.But who really cares...

All just IMO.
