Nice looking guns. What're your plans for the camo A5?

Double triggers just don't look right on mil-sims.

I agree.  I also like the air through mags better for positioning but still looks good.  what kind of firing mods do you have if any? any future plans?
Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your...

nice markers.
but one question:
why two? why not just one and swap out parts depending on what you want to use?
especially considering how easy it is to swap out parts on the A5.

Thanks for the positive feed back. I was going to trick out the camo A-5 but if you can look at the bottom front receiver bolt, the head is round and I've tried just about everything to get it out. So as one of you have said it's just a parts gun now. And for firing mods a do have a WAS board in the camo but its just unused, and i just have the regular modes for the rampage

Hit a hardware store.  They make kits for removing rounded screws.

I've tried. It's to no avail. :( I'm a Pipe Fitter so I have tools on site. Just the metal its made of (White Aluminum I think) just folds so I cant even drill it out. But I'm content with the one.  And just to add I'm not trying to make this gun look like anything I just like the look and it's highly functional.

And also, I'd like to paint this marker something like a dark digital camo. But I don't have alot of money to throw around. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

if you want it to last longer, yes you need to clean it off and sand it down, you dont have to bare metal it, just enough so the paint will stick. oh for the stencle thing, some people use tape too (i think it works better)
