Well, my friend got a m-4 style stock and it wasn't very practical because he couldn't aim comfortably (i.e. his mask would get in the way). Now, there's a rumor that says "Oh, flexible masks like the Jt Protues, V-force Morph and so on, will flex enough to aim with a stock without discomfort". WRONG! No matter what, you can't aim unless you have a raised sight rail and/or a red-dot.

Of course, if you're like me and don't even use the sights on your marker, then go ahead and get a stock. But, remember to switch to a remote or the tank will get in the way.

Good Luck! CGO out.....

EDIT: I didn't realize that this kid said that he liked to stand out. Also, in his sig, he has that mp-5 kit, so it's pretty obvious that this guy gots a thing with "image". Later.

Well that's great that you like to stand out but it makes you seem annoying when you type so big.

It's Drop Forward.

Stocks are excellent tools for improving your shooting. We use them in the military for a reason. While you won't be able to easily use your A5's sights, a raised and/or offset sight rail will fix that. Lapco has some very good ones for the A5. I'd reccommend it, along with a remote line. A stocked, Flatlined A5 in the woods is a bloody scary thing to go up against- I've been there.

i like my 6 position car stock but if you get a stock you will want a remote too.

You can't aim properly when you look down the gun's sights anyway. I'm surprised none of the stock users mentioned its more comfortable to use a stock than a round tank, plus it gives you a lower profile. It also helps you hold the gun steady. When you're just using a tank, the point where you rest it on your body is round, and you can either sit it on your ribs or on your shoulder (which will be sitting high), and when you rest the tank on yourself there's no support for side to side motion. A stock fits comfortably, lower, and keeps the gun as steady as you can hold it. If you look down the sights, you set yourself up to get hit from the side. Snap shooting is best, so you keep your eyes open for anyone shooting at you. Plus, it's easier to keep the gun aimed after you duck behind a bunker, then when you pop out you're already aimed.

That $300 stock is also for an actual MP5, not an A-5.

But, like everyone else said, it's based on how you play. I can use a stock on my gun in speedball, and its exactly a yard long. And I don't suck at speedball either- I keep my gun down better than most of the other players- I'm constantly shooting at hoppers.

i like to stand out with people but in the feild i look like this

poamike: man, you're trying way too hard. You've got nothing to prove here, so chill.

I have a basic CAR stock for my a5 and I like it. It does have it pro's and con's. With most masks, it is nearly impposible to use the Iron sites. Although, if you get a raised sight rail it fits very nicely.

The stock does give unparralleled stability, which translates into accuracy. You have a third point of contact between you and your gun, and it prevents you from having to hold the full weight of the gun at arms length. It does look "sweet", which in addition to your enjoyment, works as a big intimidation factor. People who see you are willing to put that kind of effort and/or money into your equipment naturally assume that you are somewhat skilled. That, and the fact that you very rarely use your actual sights anyways makes IMO a stock worth having. There are other upgrades I would get first, though. (Stabalizer, RT, etc...)

All in all, it depends on what you value, what your preferences are, and your style of play. Just think about it.
