Go with HPA it makes your gun alot healthier , get a crossfire 68/3000 set at 800 psi output check countypaintball.com .

Unless your playing tournaments it's not really worth the investment. Furthermore, even if you do decide to play tournaments you may way to consider a different marker.

If you were going to play in tournies you may want to look in to electro markers or high end mechanical ones, like mags or cockers.

or stick with your A-5 get an E-grip the blade trigger for the E-grip , 12 inch barrel , and a 68/3000 HPA tank , get a drop forward too.

Everyone has their favorites so I can't recommend unbiasly.

I'd look through the reviews, go to your field and look around at the other markers to see what you like.

Just to be clear I have seen EVERY kind of marker out on the tournament field, Tipppmanns, Spyders, Dragun, cockers, Trix, I mean it's all out there. But the far majority of the time they are higher-end electronic markers.

I know people who've won tournaments with a 5 year old spyder and I know people who've lost with brand new Karnivors. It's the player, and more importantly it's what YOU, not us, like.

if ur gona play tournys u never should have looked at an A-5 it doesnt matter how much u upgrade it (im speaking from my own experience) its not gonna be as good as a nice tourny gun. I personally regret geting my A-5 and sinking so much cash into it because i need a tourny gun newayz. But it does make a sweet back up and i can do just about anything to it as far as home mods

Like Greedy said, it's your preference on what gun you use in a tourny.
