im getting one soon enough, ive seen it before, i just never knew where to look...ima stick an APEX on mine, only good looking mod for the A-5, it offers tactical superiority in close quarters and can also shoot fast as well as far if need be, great mod and comes with a APE board...very nice for only $350

yes the B5 is already pretty pricey but there are some ways around it.  If the price was already raised again then that would be crazy.

I thought it was kind of high myself till I realized that all the ops gear parts that I had bought that had no real function were well over 300 dollars. i had no problem selling that stuff once I thought about it. This mod looks good and at the same time makes your gun shorter. Its like having a stock with out the length.

Yeah it is still just as accessible as before.So much easier to change the battery too. Just take the top pin out of the butt plate and the bottom is hinged. I love this thing! The internals slide out like before too. It is quite a pain to assemble though. If you are going to use your old board just make sure you have a friend that can solider good and get some heat shrink to protect the wires and solider joints. It took me a few tries to get it together right.

I am just gonna sell my old board and buy their board that is 100 but comes with the extended wiring.  It saves some money to put it in myself.  It  wont be for a while though.  If I dont get the money soon it may not be until xmas.  I may get the RVA for it too... I havent decided.

About that. I figured there's no way this dude would shoot crappy balls through THAT marker, so I was a bit inspired to go have a look at 'em. I went over to Wal-Mart and took a look at a case of those. Man, no way I'd shoot one of those through my APEX. My Cyclone would chew those up! They had a consistency like a grape that's sat in the fridge a little too long. I went through a couple of cases to the clerks dismay, but they were all like that. So tell me, what I saw is what you fired? If it is, you're a brave man. Bad ass marker though, but a tad too much for me to plunk down all at once. Do they have layaway?, lol. L8RZ.

6 cases and zero breaks and sometimes no breaks in the hits. Sounds like your Wal Mart has a leak in the roof over their paintball stuff. As for spending all at once.....had the A5 for a while did all the upgrades over the past 2 years and ordered the b5 kit with the money I made off of Ebay sales.
As for them staining they do but I have my own private field so no worries for me just get extra stain stick.

does this gun  feel balanced when you use it? Or is it heavy in the back?

depends on what you mean by that... the gun is mainly the back.  It is made to be shouldered and more weight is behind the grip.

yes it uses the stock trigger assembly just pieced out, relocated, and switched up to an egrip sear.  The ASA has the ability to also be used. I am no longer getting a B5 though (not soon at least) too much $$ for me right now :(

I think I just creamed my pants.

It's certainly a beautiful gun.
