I've built my A-5 from the standard non R/T model and so far I think its done. I don't know what else I could do to upgrade it.
I have to keep it tourney legal so I can't put a R/T on it and I have the J & J grip so an E-Grip is useless.
I borrow a friends Kaner Barrel Kit so I don't need barrels either.
Any ideas? My upgrades are in my signature

Looks pretty good. You could get a better reg than the ergo, but that's only a minor improvement.
You could leave it alone and save up some money in case you decide to eblade or worrblade your cocker.

You should go with what you're comfortable with. I've always thought the pps and bob long torpedo were pretty good. But hey, you probably know more about this than me.

you must have some madd dough bro. Don't sell you're mini cocker unless you want to buy an electro but if you don't eblade it or get the xonix frame which is basically the same thing as a e-blade except cheaper they're so much funn, because plain cockers just arent. Racegrip frame is also nice i fell in love with that one even though it's not as fast as the e-blade.

2 of my friends have mech cockers and I've had fun playing with them. It's nice to be able to snap shoot with pin point accuracy.

I say sell the ergo reg as there is no point to having it on your A-5 given you have nitro.

it looks good to me. if you are satisfied w/ performance. great. Me? I would get an RT or loose the skull stuff and get an E-grip if I want a faster ROF. you can just shut off the RT when you go to tourneys, cant you.
I wouldnt do anything, unless you just have an itching to spend some money. nice a5

You could get the minihopper for the Cyclone and some kind of cheap sight up top just for looks.
Performance-wise I think you're just fine.

You should call a custom shop and see if they could find a way to stuff the e-grip board and stuff into your JJ frame by modding it.

another barrel? you could have multiple barrels
Love the gun man. Esipcally the grips. I think you should stop upgrading, and play more! Is there any gear you need?(ie- pack, tank cover, better mask,etc...) If not, then your set.

I thought you knew more than that.
Also, why put a Kaner onto a Tippmann... you'd need to use an adapter, which defeats the purpose of having a kit. Using an adapter at all kills your barrel performance- may as well get a barrel for it.

Wow there was alot of activity over the weekend. I wasn't around so I never got to reply or post again sorry guys..
Thanx alot for all the ideas, I'll look into the E-Grip in the J and J frame, plus the mini hopper (Coenen) as for the Kaner Barrel kit. I got the Full Boar Barrel Adapter, it replaced the old one that Tippmann supplied so It won't affect its performance in a negative way at all. I covered my bases on that one, the one Lapco makes just uses the old one instead of replacing it.
Teufelhunden thanx for noticing that though, most people wouldn't have.
Anyone know of a good custom shop that could/have done something like that before?
