i have a tippmann A5 with response trigger and a double trigger, ive had it for a year now and it is starting to annoy me, because it sucks down gas like theres no tomarrow and because i have a response trigger i get co2 blowback from a flaw in tha a5 design. if i should get a new gun what would be a good gun thats in the $200-$300 price range.

Wrong forum there bud....

1) Don't get a Fenix, its pretty mucha regular e-spyder plus milling, but thats my opinion.....

2) I would say go with the BKO ($255 or $305, depends what year), Automag ULE RT custom thats on sale right now ($400), or the Automag TKO package at pbgear ($270)

But keep in mind that you will want HPA for all of these guns, so make sure you have enough for that as well

I say get a Mag or a BKO. Depending on what you want. That would be my recomendation. Or also refer to my sig and ask yourself those questions.

He's right you know.

Id say 2003 bko or TES, theyre both pretty nifty.

look into a used mag on ebay. cant go wrong with a mag. you could also pick it up with goodies since mags re sale values are cheap. or the BKO if you like fast and the pull of electros since the trigger of the mag is different from electros and other guns.

Most every thread you get different answers from different people.

Mags are a good bet, small, affordable, upgradeable, accurate, pretty fast.

OR...you could sell the RT and get the E-grip, wich would probably solve alot of the problems your having with the A5, and you would still have a fast shooting gun, with alot of options.

Good luck.

This is just a suggestion but instead of getting a whole new gun, maybe carry an extra tank? I carry a 9oz tank with me so that if my 20oz runs out in a game I have a backup. A $10 tank is a whole lot cheaper than a new gun.

Dude, your R/T is supposed to have Co2 BB. Thats what makes it quick. Also, if you dont like using up gas like that get more expansion on your gun. I have seen my friends A5 get 1200 shots out of his R/T 20 oz Co2 with a Core 32 Stage and Anti-Siphon. Seriously thats probably luck cause his R/T is turned way down but meh.
