Looks alot like mine used to before I removed the expansion chamber and front grip.  Looks nice though.  I am a fan of the stock A5.  What board is in your grip?  I take it you like to throw down paint too lol.  400 rnds is alot of paint.
Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your...

The gun can handle it its the cyclone.  To get up you have to switch out the internals and the tube.  TechT sells the full upgrade kit for just under 100 bucks.  That gets you up to 25-27bps but I have never seen a single A5 go higher.  Not saying it cant... I just havent heard of it yet.  Her is a link for the TechT upgrade though.

Go towards the bottom of the page and there is an add to cart button.  If you want to add the squishy paddles (softer paddles to try and reduce pressure on the paint itself) there is another kit for 99.99 on there that includes them.  Honestly though you dont need to throw down that much paint.  I have my WAS set at 11 or 13 bps (cant remember which one) and it is plenty of paint all with stock internals.

Not bad at all. Do you like having the foregrip right there with the expansion chamber?

It looks pretty good. Very basic and simple. Everything you need no extras to keep off the weight. I like it. Is the Apex barrel all that its cut out to be?
