Hey guys

    I need help  im trying to decide on a paintball gun and i want something that looks like an actual weapon or can be made to look like one. im big into the realism area i guess i get it from my dad who does historical military re-enactments. anyway i've narrowed it down to either an ariakon SIM-15 or a base model/r/t system Tippmann a-5. anyone who can give me advice please reply or send your thoughts to me at: olneycubbaseball4@yahoo.com

           Thanks

Will

That's what I would do also. Not only will you have a cool looking gun you will also have a good performing gun.

I would go with the A-5. It is a really dependable gun. Plus you can modify it to make it look like a real gun. Good luck!

yes, get an A-5 and if you want buy a mod kit, people have made them appear to be M-9s, AK-47's, and ALOT of MP5's since that is what the A-5 is modeled after.

I'd go with an A-5 then modify it. Check the link below so you can see what I did to my A-5 ,don't go with ariakon sim5.

Mirkx Voss, that A5 is absolutely sick!

About how many hours would you say you put in on it? I know it's probably hard to estimate.

The only reason I would steer clear of either the Araikon or BT16 is that they just aren't as popular as the A5. Tippmann is gonna have the better customer service, reliability, it's really no more expensive, and it's more upgradable.

Though I'm not an A5 Flatline fan, the barrel costs $100, shoots farther than anything not a Flatline, has a flatter trajectory than standard barrels, and looks like a huge-ass suppressor...plus it's all-metal, which I prefer along with alot of others...even though it adds some weight.

I think this is a much more functional start towards the mil-sim look rather than those M16 shrouds.

But as many have showed, you can make the A5 look like an M16 pretty convincingly.

thats got some good alternatives to opsgear and also a system to run a remote inside your stock to make the gun look much more realistic

I'd say about 5 to 7 hours planning took most of the time in making it.
