My future A-5 - Would like thoughts and..

..opinions.

I spent an hour or two Frankenstein-ing this picture together. I took multiple pictures from different websites. The hopper, stock, and barrel are all from different pictures that I had to somewhat merge them into the stock marker. I know it's nothing special, but I think it looks sleek, and attractive looking. Nothing too fancy, nothing to boring. Eventually, it will have a remote line. By the way, keep in mind that some of these images are not proportional, but should give you a general idea.



-- Parts --
14" Palmer's Brass Unvented Barrel
JCS Voodoo Foldable Stock w/RVA
X7 Low Profile Hopper
Tippmann A-5

* note: all parts may not be proportional

That took you a couple hours...?

Looks good. Palmer's are good barrels, but can get pricey pretty fast.

You might want to get a vented barrel, along with an apex tip.

Palmer's Brass barrels with any venting ups the price of the already $70 barrel by $45. I'll take the noise, and gladly make myself known. I've decided on this because it's cheaper, and I'll have to come up with my own strategies, which shall be interesting none-the-less. Also, I will eventually get an Apex.

Looks like you just went here: http://www.a5builder.com/# You could have just said that instead of looking like a total tard who doesn't give credit to the people who actually do the work.

Or, you could be the one that looks like a "'tard" since the page you linked to, and accused Nefarial of using, doesn't offer that stock or barrel as an option and offers no hopper options.

Yes, it is obvious from the background that he used that page, but there is no way he could have used it for more than just the base marker and background in the picture.

I'm impressed.  (not sarcasm)  It takes integrity and strength of character to admit one's mistakes.  Keep this attitude and check your info before posting and you should easily do quite well here.

Sorry I haven't really posted, and sorry that this bumps my old-ish thread back up, but I just read that last post.

I've been wondering. What are the advantages of the folding stock rather than a fixed stock. Also, I'm considering finding a different stock, as the Voodoo stock seems to be a little old, and will probably be hard to find.

EDIT: One stock I've been looking at in particular is the OPSGEAR Sight Relief stock. It gives a nice rifle look to it, and seems fairly sturdy and is designed to actually be used. Another stock is the one you said. http://www.opsgear.com/Tippmann-A5-Folding-Stock-G36-p/tts-s tock-fold-g36-a5.htm.

EDIT:EDIT: Also, I've updated my signature after further research. Any comments on the change? I will be getting a new picture up soon.
