I personaly think that the PCS US 5 needs to be taken to court..doesnt Tippmann have a patent on the A-5...cause this PCS US 5 is remarkably close...in looks not quality. Tell me your thoughts

You're oversimplifying to the max.

Of course A-5 is the best hands down. The PCS US-5 is just a cheap copy cat.

and they're both knock offs of the mp5 body. one could almost as easily argue that pirahna steals body styles from spyder (or vica versa) point being a lot of paintguns look similar.

hah ok im sure you all know that im the only one on the forum with a us-5

the us-5 is in no way a copycat of the a-5 as like tippmann freak said they use the mp-5 body.

if youve ever held them and looked at them up close, you would see that they are nothing the same.

don't argue on the quality as i think they are the same quality. but with the us-5 you get more for less money. (the electronic i mean)

it's not like i was forced into the us-5, i did chose it over an a5 (tough decision but i dont regret it)

but i do aggree that this was a dumb poll.

cause this is the tippmann forum and people are obviously gona prefer the tippmann gun

if this was a pcs forum than people would say the us-5 is better.

you own a us-5, you think it's better, you own an a5, you think its better

Good points..I am aware that the A-5 and the Us-5 are modled after a MP5/HK5 Bodies...but I was dissappointed...I want to see some oringinality. My buddy owns A Us-5 he but an e-grip in..but it didnt compare to mine. So I think that the A-5 is by far a better MOD gun and I also think there better on reliability

not necessarily on reliability

yes for now the a5 has more mods but pcs is releasing a few items a month for the us-5 now (the most recent being a sweet double trigger)

pmi copys everyone's ideas...  but they also improve on some things..

Piranha= Spyder

Us-5= A-5

Omen= Cocker

Pimp= Impulse

Minion= Dye Matrix/proto

really, they do make improvements.  the Us-5's improvement was the inexpensiveness.  I don't know what the big deal about it is though.  People will obviously favor the real deal...  And also, just because they "copy" other companies, doesn't mean they don't try to make a quality product.  Empire "copied" Odessy's Halo shells, noone complains about that.  The only reason they do it, is because the product has already been made.  All they have to do is improve on it.
