This is my A-5 with a bunch of mods I added.  I still haven't fired it yet... going this week though.  Let me know what you all think.  PS I'm looking for a really short barrel thats more accurate than the stock.  I want to figure out a setup for the gun without buying a dropforward and unnecissary stuff, so basically i have the stock barrel with the vertical adapter as no now.... Give me some tips to make it a successful close-range marker.  I think i got the long range figured out :p (And no, i'm not buying HPA)

I play woodsball or scenario.


My A-5 with my short-range setup (as of now)


My A-5 with long-range setup (pretty much permanent)


My Custom Hopper I made one boring afternoon (ask me if you want to know how I did this, I could make a tutorial)


Inside the hopper


The guns stats are in my sig.  Give me questions and comments!

Simple. And is that Plexi glass in the hopper? I would go with a ten inch lapco barrel for accurate and short. I agree to keep the tank on the bottomline b/c of velocity issues or reverse the ASA to pput the tank underneath the gun(adapter needed for this) to make it extra compact w.out extra height.

if your gonna have your tank like that, get a 3.5 ouncer.  if your gonna be really close, just hack the regular barrel down.  I really don't understand why someone would need a long range and a short range marker tho. i mean, they both have r/t...  ahwell, whatever tickles your pickle

The stuff inside the hopper is to keep the paint from making too much noise as hes runnin around.

Actually, i used the plastic from a used game dvd case that happened to be clear.  Basically, i hacked a hole in my hopper and then went to find anything that was clear, and that happenedt o be in my closet :D

Also, for velocity, why is does it cause issues when it's just as good as having an anti-siphon... Someone tell me if i'm wrong, but doesnt the liquid sink to the bottom and the gas to the top, making it more effecient?  Also, i don't want to invest in another tank, i was going to buy a 10 ounce, but i decided it wouldn't matter too much.  How about i ask the person who fills the tank to only fill it 16 oz or so when i set it up vertical?  that would probably help quite a bit.

About the hopper, it doesnt bother me that its a "sloppy" job, it looks much better in person (when there isn't a camera flash:P) and from anything over a metre away it actually makes the gun look better in my opinion.

Any suggestions on what to use to cut the barrel without making a mess out of it?

It's not so he can put a scope on and see through the hopper, it's so he can tell how much ammo he has left.
