I saw somewhere that these are the upgrades you should get for a Tippy, in descending order (barrel first, trigger last)

barrel
revy
diffrent cocking system (rocket cock...)
N2 (optional)
drop foward
expansion chamber/regulator
secondary regulator
new bolt
sum new internals
trigger (double/ lighter...)
more new internals
low pressure
rt trigger

Do you vets pretty much agree? Also, I got a 14" Lapco Bigshot Aluminum barrel, but I read somewhere else that beyond 14" the ball loses speed, accuracy, etc, or something like that. Is this true? Should I return the barrel and get a 12"?

Next, what's a revy, N2, regulator, internals, low pressure, etc.

Thanks

get things in this order...
nice barrel
nice loader(revi)
any and everything after that is an optional upgrade...

for more indepth info on tippmann 98c upgrades... go look at the thread i made in the tippmann forum...:tup:

as for a revi... its an electronic loader that sences a gap in the stack of balls and spins a paddle to knock some more balls into your feed neck... thus creating a much more steady rate at which you feed by lowering the risk of ball jams...

n2, HPA, compressed air... all the same thing... check into the Air Systems forum for more info than you could ever want on the subject...

regulator... regulates the input pressure to the gun... thus creating much more consistant and thus more accurate shots...

internals of a tippy... check the tippmann forum for those... i'm not going in depth to them here...

lp... by using a high volume of low pressure gas instead of a low volume high pressure gas you can get greater efficiency... although going to LP can make it worse... and as a side effect you get quieter operation... smoother operation... etc...

any other questions... try doing a search...:)
