Strengths:
Durable, and longer then stock grip
Weaknesses:
Keeping it tight
Review:
I bought this grip actually for my hammer system. i wanted something longer and more sturdy than the stock plastic grip. it is a great grip when it stays tight. i had it on my a-5 for a while and it got annoying if i truned it a little. i would suggest putting a little teflon tape on the threads to help keep it more sucure to the marker since it doesn't have the grove on it like the stock handle.
Conclusion:
i love it on the Hammer. i say buy it. it helps keep better control of the gun.
Stock grip - Too short and plastic

Strengths:
Aluminum
longer than stock grip
Weaknesses:
thin diameter
doesn't look like it belongs on an A-5
Review:
This is an odd style for an A-5 in my opinion. Doesn't look like it was made for it.
Though it is longer than the stock one it's small diameter counters it I believe.
Going from to short (stock) to small diameter doesn't seem to help much for me
at least. Though the finger grooves are more comfortable style.
The main gripe I have with this product is it does not stay screwed in without
washers (as I have read from others as well) or something to keep it in place over any period of play.
Otherwise my other gripes are just preference.
Conclusion:
I you don't mind the style or having to find a way to keep this grip tight
then look into getting it and it's reasonably priced.
Tippmann A-5, R5 hopper, Egrip, JCS dual, 47ci Bulldog tank, Dead on front Grip, 14" progressive
Strengths:
Made of Aluminum, larger than stock
Weaknesses:
The bolt used to attach it is always coming lose.
Review:
This grip allows for more control over the front end of your gun. It is in my opinion sturdier than the stock grip. For those of us who play speed-ball with A-5's you can get the grip in closer to your gun and allow you to keep your hands and body in tight.
Conclusion:
This product allows for more control and is sturdier than the stock.

A-5
Flatline
Dead on A-5 Foregrip
Car Stock
R5 Hopper
Dead On Drop Forward with the mount
Strengths:
Longer and Cooler Looking
Weaknesses:
Since its glossy it gets slippery/greasy some times. Maybe due to the weather.
Review:
This is a very cheap product and very effective. Its longer for a better grip, cooler looking, and well that's it. The main reason I bought it though is because the first day I used my A5 the stock grip fell off during a woods game and I had to grab the hose since I couldn't find the screw. But im actually glad the stock fell of because this product is just better anyways.
I thought that I should give the DOP Front Grip a try. The price is low and the stock foregrip is a little too small for me. This grip improves the feel greatly. It is comfortable and makes it much easier to hold. The metal construction improves the durability of the stock grip and you don't need to worry about it breaking. The grip initially had problems with loosening up. Adding a washer from the stock grip and vigorously tightening the DOP grip fixed the problem. My only complaint is that it isn't the best looking thing in the world. It's a little to skinny for me at the top end. Not a big deal and I'll live with it.
Conclusion:
A good upgrade and a nice way to personally customize your A-5. I think it's worth the money if you don't like the stock foregrip.

Tippmann A5
Dead On Paintball Double Trigger
Dead On Paintball Front Grip
Pure Energy 20 Oz. Tank
Strengths:
Larger Surface
More Control
New Look
Weaknesses:
Bottom has a little bit exposed
Review:
The grip is much better than the stock grip. You are able to control your gun more if you have a double trigger. The look is different and feel is to. You can get your whole hand around the grip and also it comes in different colors. If yours becomes wobbly add a few lock washers to stop the wobble.
Conclusion:
Great if your hands are too big or you cannot control the gun without stableness
Tippmann A5 w/Response Trigger
DOP Air Regulator
DOP front grip
crossfire 47/3000psi
Remote Coil
Marker #2
2k4 prostock
12v revvy

Strengths:
ALUMINUM!!!
comfortable
durable
Weaknesses:
Nothing that i have noticed
Review:
This front grip is great!!, your hand isn't always pushed up against the bottom of the gun now. It simply rests however you want it. It is way more comfortable than the stock grip because it is bigger and just has that cool feeling to it. This grip is alot stronger than the other and is very durable
Conclusion:
Get it! It looks cool and feels great on your gun!

dead on paintball frount grip
E-grip
Empire 4 piece barrel
Strengths:
It is stronger than the stock frount grip.
Weaknesses:
It gets a little loose after a long day of playing paintball.
Review:
The stock A-5 frount grip is in my oppinion more comfortable than the dead on paintball on but i like the dead on paintball on more because it isn't plastic and it is also longer than the stock on so i provied more controll when trying to snipe someone.
A5 with 12 inch J&J ceramic barrel,Dead On aluminum front grip,GTA rear velocity adjuster
Strengths:
Aluminum,stronger than stock plastic
Weaknesses:
None
Review:
This a cheap great upgrade,it looks good and it's stronger and easier to grip.I never broke the stock grip Because i never went on the field with it but it just looked the weakest point on the marker so i got rid of it.The only problem I had with it was it came loose during a game and i got shot because i tried to remove it before it fell off.I simply installed a black lock washer under it and never had the same problem.
Conclusion:
Just buy it, it's cheap!

Dm4 with halo-b victory board, crossfire 70-4500 low pressure nitro tank
Strengths:
more comfortable, looks cool
Weaknesses:
kinda loose when you put it on
Review:
great grip.i got it because when i owned my a-5 i hated the stock grip. It is much more comfortable than the stock grip and is made of better material. I could only fit 3 fingers around the stock grip and i can firmly put my hand around this one with room to spare. This grip also looks cool on the a-5. However, when i put it on it was VERY loose. i had to put about 8 or 9 nuts on it to prevent it from falling off in the middle of a game. But, after that, it was well worth the $15.
Conclusion:
great grip. get it for more comfort. not a 10 because of the looseness.
