My A-5 is by no means a "showcase" marker, as I've hauled this thing up and down rocky canyons, through brush, water, mud, and who knows what else. It bares the scars to prove it, and I'd rather it have this character and reliability than be "pretty". That being said, let me know what you think.

My buddy Jihad has one very similar to that and I used it in the MXS 26 hour game and loved it more than the beast of a M16 M203 I built. Small and light is the way to go for sure! Now I am rethinking bigger milsim markers....all I have to say is bullpup for me!!! I think I will invest in the Identity Crisis kit!
*edit* marker looks great and I know it handles well! Edited by VBHARDCORE - 22 October 2007 at 6:58pm |

Neat looking gun. It's got a real compact and pointable look to it. Does accuracy suffer much with the short barrel? |

The accuracy is as good or better as the stock A-5 barrel, which of course isn't stellar, but c'mon...this one is 3 inches long. The real advantage is exactly what you brought up: it's point and click. Even with the stock in the closed position, the natural point of aim is dead on. |

You should get the opsgear barrel tip that amplifies the sound from the marker.

It really doesn't need the help, though I am curious as to how it would sound. The last game I played, one of my friends who KNOWS how loud my marker is STILL took cover when I opened up from about 50 feet behind him. He thought someone from the opposing team had snuck up on him. |

I like it but IMO the barrel needs to just a little bit longer.

I hope you were being sarcastic I meant IMO it would look better with a slightly longer barrel. |
