ok thanks for the help. thurman, u remeber a ballpark price?

Haven't done it in a long time but its prolly gonna be around the $10 range. It depends on your size of tank. They charge this amount of dollars for this amount of air, but I don't remember how much it is. If your going to play alot I would suggest on getting a scuba tank from one of the dive shops in town and an adapter to fill your tank. To start out its a little bit spend(tank is like $200 and the adapter is lik $50 or something) but to fill your scuba at a dive shop is cheap for the amount of fills you get out of it. My brother would always do that. I think he said he paid like $3 or $5 buck to fill a scuba.

Get an A-5 chuck, it's heavyish but you'll never regret it. easiest gun to maintain and will take any abuse.

Air propelled loading mechanism FTL. Smarts Part Ion. Adjustable trigger, light weight, shoots fast, and is in the $200 range. Also has all the shooting modes.

Virtue Ion Board(Warning the dude more annoying than VTEC)

Have you ever used an A-5? the air propelled loader coupled with a response trigger and 4500 O2 = faster than any other gun ever. There's a reason they are illegal in speedball tournaments.

I know that if you dont maintain your gun and regularly maintain your feeder it can get shitty, but seriously.

The A5 w/ flatline is the best woodsball gun to date.

Ever is kinda a big claim. One of the angels I believe was supposed to be able to shoot 30 bps. No one can shoot that fast but still I don't think an a-5 is the fastest ever. Colin, have you ever shot an angel?

Colin

I had an older angel until the police took it away in highschool

The fastest ever is not something Tippman can claim, but the actual physics of the gun make it the fastest. I forgot to add that you need to use a aftermarket spindle to pull balls down into the feedway otherwise gravity owns you.....

I've read about the angel that is capable of shooting 30 bps, but like you said noone can do it.

With the A-5 the speed of sound (the fastest air can move) minus the small resistences of the feeder, and reset time of the gun itself are the only limitations to speed and fire rate.

So in theory: the fastest gun ever. In practice. The fastest gun ever. but damn does it eat an o2 tank like it's CO2.

So in the end, Would i use an A5 over and angel in speedball, never. But i never play speedball. To boring and expensive.

I'll take a decent setup A-5 over an angel anyday for woodsball. You cant break 'em and the flat-line makes brush cover useless. You can even arc around trees if you turn up you FPS.

Police harassed us becauce our neighbors thought we weres shooting a machine gun in our back yard:icon_scratch:

Flatline barrels have to be one of the top aftermarket barrels ever made but the best aftermarket barrel for distance. Good luck turning you FPS up in a woodsball game. lol

Colin

All my bolts are field strip, My pressure regulation is also hand adjustable. If i don't like you and i get behind you...it will hurt.

thurmanmerman

Sanctioned games require anti-adjustment screws, but even then they are easy to get around. What gun do you have?

Colin

A-5, no sanctioned events for me.

Turbo5Oh

a-5 the fasteset ever? cranking up up fps during game? back when i played we would call u a noob

i would go into more detail not realy worth the time.
