    Posted: 13 February 2007 at 4:08pm
is there any way to get a left handed a5 or x7. with the cyclon feed on the other side. using a regular makes it hard to aim, and to tilt your head into the gun. Are there any mods out there to make this guns more comfortable for us lefties. I emailed tippmann about this but they havent responded.

thanks

Ahhh no!  I could imagine it being possible for someone to come up with a mod to switch the cylcone feed onto the other side for their gun. 

But for the moddified gun to actually work the way you want it to, then Tippmann would need to make a left sided cyclone feed. I wouldn't try it cause it's not something that I care much about.

You could try to stop being left handed, that should help.

Okay but really if you got a 98 Custom, centerfeeded it and got a Pulse you should be a happy camper.

Out of luck about the whole left-handed deal. Your best bet is to find a gun that is a centerfeed. If you want to stick with a Tippmann, look into a 98c + Rufus Dawg Centerfeed Kit.

If your boundaries arent confined to Tippmann, then you can have whatever you want in a gun with another company.

well it depends sorta.  does ur gun have a stock on it?  if not, then u could play around holding the gun til u find a possition u can aim.  other then that, i think i might be stuck with a righty gun

Depends if he has a firepower upgrade or not. 

An e-bolted 98 with 2 way ram, even E-grip, or even the Super RT can have a pretty high ROF.  Plus a pulse can be switched to another gun if he gets another marker later on. So I think getting the best hopper (or one of the best) is never a bad idea.

The last people who made left feeds are fading away pretty fast. AGD and WGP were the last two companies to do so.
