alot of them.... look in the review section for bushmaster upgrades.... there also alota threads around.... i personally suggest
1) ball detent (unless it's a very new bush)
2) barrel (a dye aluminum brings up my speed by 25/30 fps)
3) HPR (high pressure regulator, theres alota threads on them)
4) if u have a b2k, a low pressure regualtor (micro rocks are clutch)
5) valves like the Red valve, i havent looked into bolts
6) possibly a board enhancement ,like a chaos or tantrum chip.

thats most of the upgrades

I would get dye boomy, macdev glad and vapor trigger and a good hopper if you don't already have one

For Starters:

1. Lapco Bushmaster 2K Vertical ASA Adapter
2. Macdev Gladiator or AKA Sidewinder
3. Check-IT LPR Knob
4. Full Freak or Dye Ultralight Boomy

For More Speed:

5. Get a Tantrum or Chaos Chip
6. Halo B

You can stop there unless you are a psycho.
But if you must go further:

7. Zenitram 45 Frame (Mine is in the Mail)
8. Zenitram Magentic Trigger (Mine is the Mail)

If you are a total nut:

9. Zenitram Micro Rock Adapter (This is next)

If you still have your Bushy in a few months:

10. Imperial Undertow Bolt (Backspin Baby!)

There's quite a few ASA Adapters available for the Bushy.
I prefer the LAPCO one since it is straight forward.
You screw it in, you screw in your Reg, it works.

From what I gather, there's pretty much only two kinds of regs people put on Bushys: the Glad and the Sidewinder.
Your choice of regs is important because unlike other paintball guns, this will be how you will control the velocity. You'll want something pretty consistent and the Glad and Sidewinder are the Regs of choice. I went with the Sidewinder because I heard that Glads need to be cleaned out once in a while because of how sensitive they are to dirty air. So far my Sidewinder makes my Bushy way more consistent than my cocker. I get +/-4 or 5 fps at the chrono.

I like the Checkit LPR knob because it makes adjusting the LPR much easier. It is fast, convenient and efficient. It's also cheap and way easier to use than the slotted knob.

Since you are making upgrades, why not upgrade your barrel. In fact, why not just go with the best. There's really only two choices: Full Freak with AA barrel for quietness or DYE Ultralight for honed perfection.

If you need more speed, the Tantrum or Chaos Chip is the way to go. I held off on the upgrade for over a year, but let me tell you, it makes a big difference. Besides, the prices have come down considerably. In fact, its probally the cheapest upgrade for the largest amount of performance.

If you can shoot in the 16 to 18 bps range, assuming you already have a sweet trigger, you'll need a Halo (20+ bps). If you shoot faster than 16 bps, it will cause your Evo II (17 bps but really 16.5 bps) or Revy (12 bps, but really closer to 10.5 bps) to blend. I thought I had a crappy gun that liked to chop until I got the Halo. Now, a day of paintball is like playing with a paint hose!

I got tired of the binding of my Macdev Sonic Trigger. I guess it really wasn't made to shoot a whole hopper in under 10 seconds and I find it sticks when I walk the trigger. I decided to check out the Zenitram since I've heard good test results from a few people on the net. Last week I heard about the new Magnetic Trigger upgrade and at that point, I knew that I had to get it. Early test results that I'm hearing is that it totally rocks. I have to imagine it does since people are raving how awesome their Eclipse and New Designs magnetic triggers work on their Impulses and Cockers. I've been lusting after their magnetic triggers for months, now I can finally have one of my own. And you can too! Get it now before the price goes up in a few weeks!

I'm not too picky on my LPR consistency so I haven't upgraded to the Zenitram Micro Rock Adapter. If I need it, it'll be next on the list. But for now, I don't need it.

I've been hearing how awesome Werm's Undertow bolt works for the Impulse and I've been monitoring discussion on them for sometime. Apparently the undertow bolt creates backspin on the paintball by applying inconsistent pressure to one side of the ball. A larger than normal sized barrel works better for it and from what I hear it really makes a difference on long shots. Ball grouping are much tighter thanks to backspin. Currently the mod is available for Spyders, Impulses and LCD Angels. I understand Werm will be making it for the Bushy and IR3 Angels soon. Keep an eye out if you love your Bushy!

There's only one place to find it all and it is at: http://www.tantrumpaintball.com

A good resource for information is the Online Bushmaster and Defiant Owners Group at: www.obdo.net

You Can't Yet.

It'll be a couple months but if we can get enough people to email Werm, perhaps he'll do a special run for us!!!

I'm going to ask Tantrum to see what they can do to getting a special run made.
