A-5 Custom Infantry Mod.

Off the shelf A-5.

Milled - Drilled, Modified and Painted by a few good men.

Tried multiple barrels - preferred A-5 Flatline due to ruggedness and increase range, shots hit harder.

Polished and Teflon coated Bolt group (kept stock bolt group with some gasket mods). Smoother action, quicker trigger mech, less oil residue. Cleaner, stronger shots.

Custom air system to provide burst fire and single shot. (could not achieve controlled auto - always had problem with run-a-way mech).

Long and front heavy - ( at first thought this may be bad but help to maintain tight grouping on target as marker does not elevate with each shot )

Also - forward plastic grip taken from AK-47. Milled&Drilled to fit A-5 and allow new air system fittings.

Though about including a scope or better sights, realistically don’t need them.

Ben Tippmann paratrooper folding + adjustable stock?: (Great stock,  best choice, comfortable use when masked).

Note: tank not screwed in all the way.

7.9lbs empty. 30 inches long with compressed stock.

Great marker + solid and rugged system = increase durability, accuracy.

All it needs now is a bayonet-  

(can be used to butt stroke)

not my style i guess

Just like a baseball. The only way a shot would hit harder would be if you increased the the velocity of the ball. Which in that case would NOT be good

Ok – I’m going try help you out - so dig this:

Thanks to the laws of Physics - When you put a backspin on a ball (just like the flatline does) the result is acceleration and distance; increasing the Maximum Effective Range of my A-5 and anyone else using a flatline.

If you can read thank a teacher - If you can read in English, thank a Marine.

lol ok, for real.  The flatline shoots FUTHER, NOT HARDER.  I'm no professor, but i do know that an A-5 does not shoot harder.  if this was the case, the flatline would not be legal at most fields.  Also, just because it shoots futher will not mean it will have enough force to break on someone.  Tippmann just said it will shoot futher, not harder.  they never guarenteed a paintball will break at that distance either.  THe flatlines are great, but they're only good for about 20-50 extra feet.  Any further and the result will most likely be a bounce. 

keep in mind, i am only speaking from experiance with this product.  If you have had different results, good for you......
