Looks like they spent their money on legal fees to see how far they could go without having to spend money on R&D.  Can't blame them for trying to be business savy.  Just too bad the laws aren't stricter.  It's like Tullies opening up a store whereever Starbucks does.  Just let Starbucks do the R&D research on profitable locations.

It is a knock-off of the A5. PCS makes it. Luckily, Tippmann patented the cyclone.

did the PCS US-5 come out before the A5??? I'm hoping so. Because i just saw this bootleg gun in a magazine and swore they copied the A5, minus the cyclone feed only because it's patented. wtf?

Does Tippmann manufacture this PCS US-5 or something?
