I'm new to the Tippman A-5 group and wanted to say hello to everyone. I've been shopping for my A-5 for about two weeks, looking for the best deal I can get, and I've ordered a few peices here and there as I found really good deals. Currently no marker to show anyone, but working on fixing that.

I play some woodsball with co-workers and some people around the neigborhood. There is no auto fire or burst fire allowed in our current games. We play two body shots, one head shot is elimination and the paint doesn't have to break. Marker shots don't count.

Marker plans: A5a2, Palmer Stabilizer, Flatline barrel as well as a Lapco Bigshot, X-7 hopper, squishy paddles, remote line, and possibly a double trigger.

Sounds like you've planned this marker out pretty well.

You'll have to post pics when it's done.

Welcome to the A5OG!

Hey there, Tzalik! Welcome to the A5OG. I see you've already been introduced to our little motto, so let me quote you Unrealist's Unofficial Corollary to the A5OG Credo: Wise man never dry fire without tombstone in place.

Do tell us what your current setup is like, it's not just the fancy guns we go for. And regarding your upgrade path, that sounds really solid. Can I also suggest the Vortex ratchet mod or the Lapco ratchet, which are both aluminium and less fragile than the plastic one.

If you're going the A5A2 route, like I plan to, get a Dogleg stock. Nothing else will give you quite the same sightline. Pair that up with a red dot and you're in business!

Hey all i'm new to the group and i have a A-5 response with flatline. For the past couple of weeks i have been thinking of getting in a B-5, what do you guys think about that. Also there is a body of mine that i lost touch with, he has a B-5 and lives in magnolia texas, his name is jeff, do you guys know his name here?

Can't tell you what my setup is like, I'm still waiting on the peices parts to arrive... my wife tells me I have a black metal thingy that came in the mail. I'm guessing my flatline came in today.
