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?

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

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.
