TechT ZeroKick Hammer.  With the Egrip, it should improve your cycling time.  Maybe some camo...  Also, have you tried a SAW stock?  It's really fairly subjective, and you might not need it w/ that sight riser, but their angle allows you to get your face down closer to the sightline of the marker (although you'll need to put a relocator on the ASA to fit a tank in there or run a remote line).  Ebay's got the stocks in green pretty cheap right now, too.   (and the relocator bars: shocktech - 2 screws and presto: drop forward)

You're welcome.  I can't really notice the reduced kick they talk about, but it does seem to fire faster than it used to...

I was curious if those zero kick hammers were actually living up to the hype as well, or just another useless "upgrade" like A LOT of products on the market.

I would love to have that gun, but me, well i prefer it simple. All i need is a normal A-5 w/ E-GRIP,16" barrel+ m16 collapsable stock and a hose leading to a Co2 in my pack. But this weekend we will have a garage sale, so I will prolly go for a new hopper/sight.Star cool gun though! also how much did it cost all together?Disapprove

You need some wine for that stunt

it would look good with the m16 heat-guard on her but with the barrel you have it may not fit. it would look more proportional. the stock makes it look like you have a lot of weight on the back but if you even it out then it out with the heat-guard then it would be pretty sharp. but weight might not matter with the tank on. just a suggestion

Keep it Black, you'll get tired of the camo once the paint starts to scratch, fade and or peel off.

As for Body Mods, take your pick, there are so many to choose and I still think that the A5 is more Customizable than the X7, especially if its modded into an AK47 like mine.
