Ok, I guess you're kind of cool, but the thing is that your AK-A5 looks like poop, so before trying to be the cool guy of the forum that's saying **edited** on the others' markers, just think of your own!

You have the right to don't like it, but you can just say it in another way instead of saying it looks like poop. You maybe have more experience than me in these mods but I think it's a good beginning for my first attempt and I just like it 100X more times than your AKs or your BT-4.

Regarding the marker:  Not bad for bolt-on mods. Edited Note:  I've never been fond of bolt-on modifications or considered the 98 a good base for mil-sim projects.  (The body shape of Tippmanns in general just doesn't lend itself that well to such activities.)

If you don't saw, we talk about it a few posts after, it's not that I can't handle criticism, everything can be said, it's just that there's a way to say it without saying ''it looks like poop''.

I don't know for you but when you spend a lot of time, efforts and money doing something you are very proud of, it's very a punch in the face when someone says it looks like poop, I just said it to K after and we get over it.

You've never been fond of bolt-on modifications, well fine, that's your opinion, I could probably do a better replica of M4 by cutting off the grip and adding an other mag, putting the handguard forwarded on the body and that kind of things, but I know that I'll just screw it all, I'm having my paintball gun since 9 months, I learned a lot since, I upgrade it myself and don't want to let do this kind of job by someone else, maybe in one or two years, I will be enough experimented and determined to do these, but not right now, that's why I put some bolt-on modifications...
