The B-5 is great because it shortensthe length while keeping the preformance abilities and it got me thinking, why not make different ones, shorter, longer.
basically what im getting after is that they could make shells of real mil-sim guns instead of add-on pieces. example, they mae hopper shels for Halo and such, why not do it for A-5s? you could have 1:1 scales of actual weapons instead of look alikes |

Tippmann doesn't make the B5.
Neither does anyone who would ever read this. Probably because companies are lazy that's why. The bolt on opsgear shells are expensive enough. |

i know that tippmann doesnt make the B5, ICP does, what im saying is that people such as ICP should expand thier building to more options or 1:1 scales of real guns, it would REALLY take off if they did that IMO
for those who dont know http://www.identitycrisispaintball.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t =206 that is a B-5 Edited by Ace_Of_Spades - 09 April 2008 at 12:21pm |

I know exactly what you said and gave reasons why it will never happen.

i don't think its practical, its a good concept. its really the 'hey want to do something crazy so you can never do anything else again to it mod.' but honestly i love looking at it, and i do wish more people would do more radical mods just because its fun to look at but i wouldn't get one. plus its like 170 smacks man

if people will pay $100 for a barrel, i think people would pay for a milsim shell, besides if ICP takes off with its B5 like they have been recently, i beleive there will be different mods to come from them, NTM cheaper prices

The proshop near me sells the B-5 for $840.00 Cdn. That includes the A-5 obviously. But man you could get a used car for that.

They dont do it beacause it took over a year to get the B5 running properly and in the form it is in now. The R&D for it plus fbricating the shells to fit properly and function well is difficult to do.

right, but it was just a couple guys, but now, they hvae perfected it and are soon to be making them on a wider scale...i hate using this as an example but it was the first to pop into my mind
SRT-4s doubletriggers that he made for the 98 are amazing looking and many people want them, the more people who know, the more people will want them, the more (i hope) will be made thus making the price go down, the same goes for the b5 mod, soon they will be made on a wider scale, cheaper, and different mods will be available for it |
