I would also go with the A5, mainly because I think the Omen needs to run on that Scion tank?? I am probably wrong, but the A5 can be a nice gun with a few ups.

I would personally go with the omen, because tippmanns, are nice and all, but sometimes you just one something different, having a new gun like the omen just feels soo... different. When i switched from my 98 to my cocker, i could notice that it was just a nicer gun (a higher end gun) and i would never go back to the old tippmann. I mean you really even compare the two, but like i said i would go with the omen, or even a bko or something its up to you.

Oh yeah new guns are just fun to get

^^^the omen doesnt need to run on the scion tank, the gun was out before the tank was, the gun can run off of any hpa tank.

Meh, both have crappy feed systems. I'd go with the A-5 though, Omens
are crappy. Get the E-Grip and LP kit, and you'll be better off.

Get the Omen, pipekit, and HPA tank. You could upgrade the a5 if you absolutly wanted but I would revremend the Omen of the two. You don't need the low pressure kit if you do choose to upgrade the a5. It is not worth it, especally when it costs over $100. There will not be any noticeable improvement to you gun if you get it.

Having owned an omen and messed around a lot with A-5's, I'd say run with the omen unless you are not good at all with taking care of your gun. The omen is faster, more accurate, kicks less, has a better trigger, is lighter, more consistent because it comes with a detonator reg stock, and doesn't have a big hopper with "SHOOT ME" written on it in invisible paintball language. The trade off is that they're more complicated than A-5's, and if you don't read the manual you might not be able to make it work

That's about how it stacks up.

s'right, I do a webcomic and I update it like every two months. go go!

Neither. If you are serious about paintball (i mean tournaments and stuff) i would save a little more money and buy a freestyle, a shocker, a used timmy, an e-cocker, or anything around that range.

But, if you are still serious about apintball and dont want to save up, get either a b2k or an impulse.

If you mainly play speedball, I'd go with the Omen.  Be sure to read everything in the manual before you think it sucks.

just upgrade the A-5 for a good, reliable gun, but if you want a faster, little more complicated gun, get the omen
