Well I didn't like the color of it so I changed it to Olive Drab.

Before:

After:

This one is bad but it shows the gun's specs.

Had to touch up the red tongue a little. You can see the difference in the second. I still have to put in the eye though and make it wrap around the whole hopper.

I didn't think of this myself though, I owe that idea to Pgh Park Sniper. Here is his http://tippmann.com/players/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID =125270&PN=8.

I still have to repaint it though and add some clear coat cause you can notice some spots that are crapped up a little.

So should I keep the mouth or get rid of it?

Rate if you want. I need some upgrade ideas. Not looking for E-Grip or other firepower stuff though.

Good choice on switching the paint color. It looks good. Maybe work on the jaws, its a cool idea. For non-firepower upgrade suggestions: Longer foregrip if you want it, HPA, and a reg. Other possibilities are a really good barrel or a 2x trig.

I like the new color better than the old. I say that you keep the mouth. You're pretty set on upgrades if you don't want a firepower upgrade. The only thing I can think of is HPA and a reg and little stuff like grips etc.

get a stock, and a R-5 hopper, maybe a red dot sight for the rail, or a stabalizer or something.  Why didnt you paint the back half of the hopper?  I think that it looks kinda goofy like that myself, but I just like that black best myself.

I have a stock and I was thinking about the R-5. Already had a red dot on the sight, didn't like it. If I painted the whole hopper green, there would be too much green. I had to balance it out.

It holds like 20 more balls. I heard they break easy too when they get hit.

I painted the eye on, now I need to get a picture up.

 Pretty cool. I give it a 8/10. You should get an E-grip if you don't have one.
