cuz i didnt know that already Disapprove


im well aware it would sacrifice range... but a 4 inch barrel still is accurate enough up to around 80ft which is where most encounters take place anyway. So its really not so bad.

Ya i was thinking about getting one of those 3inch barrels to give it more of a compact look. But that flatline comes in handy, and now i have that shroud on it so it doesnt look half bad. Any suggestions on what to add to it aesthetic wise though? I know what upgrades to put in it for like the mechanical operations. But any ideas for the look of it?

Looks pretty good.

Ya i was gonna try and get some of that plastic tunneling stuff i see it often on guns in this forum. But My a5 look sa bit different now. Gotta red dot for her and took off her a5 emblem thing. I also silenced the hopper with a thin foam like material. Next i'd like to get a rail for the bottom of the flatline and put like a laser or something just something for asthetics, and one of those killjoy triggers. Any other suggestions. What are some REALLY good internal mods that would improve accuracy. I read ALOT of mixed things about after-market bolt systems. And i have no use for the e-grip b/c at all the fields near me you cant use full auto.
SUggestion?

HAHA and my camo bed sheets.

I love the look of that Flatline!
Personally I would ditch the mag and look into a Palmer's Stabilzer.
I wouldn't buy a laser/tac light...I would also get rid of the Red Dot. These things will pretty much hold you back rather than help you out on the field. It's just a larger target for opposing players to try and hit. Try to concentrate on making the gun Efficient and Productive rather than building it to be pretty and heavy with useless add-on's. For Internals Look into Tech T's Zero Kick hammer possibly, maybe upgrade your Cyclone and install a QEPH/QEV.
Just some suggestions, do what you like in the end Wink
