I liked the idea but I also wanted to keep my front grip on so I could still carry the marker without feeling awkard. So I got a bushing and a longer screw from a hardware store and painted it along with the tripod. I'm thinking about buying a stock for it soon. So it doesn't look so short. ------------- Tippmann A-5 GTA Flatline GTA Response Trigger Lapco Horizontal Grip Adapter RadioShack Tri-pod (16-3650) -- Custom Paint Job |

it would be nice for scenarios, good placement gun, where did you get it, or is it actually a camera tripod -------------

The stock would be for looks and also when I'm running around. I'm not gonna be stuck in one spot all day. ------------- Tippmann A-5 GTA Flatline GTA Response Trigger Lapco Horizontal Grip Adapter RadioShack Tri-pod (16-3650) -- Custom Paint Job |

Looks Cool! Even if you don’t play with the tripod on, it’s great, innovative way to display your marker! Great Job! |

I like the setup it just looks a little unstable. Maybe you should think about getting a little bigger 1 and making the base wider. All in all, I like it a lot. It would be perfect for a scenario, like a German on D- day, or to support guys attacking. Another suggestion is maybe get a bigger hopper so you can support guys w/o having to reload like in WWII you always see the 30. cals supporting infantry. Edit: Yeah add a stock and definately a firestorm crank. |

Thats a pretty sweet setup. That'd be super cool for senario games. Good job, a stock would finish it off nicely. ------------- Black Smart Parts Ion Halo B Check-It Unimount macroline 68/45 Pure Energy tank |

it snot bad, but not long enought to have a tri pod, thats why you should get a stock just to add length to it ------------- ~~SiLeNt-ScOpE~~

yeah a stock would be nice. also get a remote if you dont already have one. must be a great gun for scenarios, i would have opted for a bipod though. ------------- model 98 lp kit vigilante reg polished internals drilled feedneck dye stickies hammerhead 14" barrel sling paintjob sureshot sight Ricochet AK hopper a whole lot of skill |

put on a longer barrel on to stablize the weight. and it would look better. btw you got an E-bolt -------------

thats the last thing a a-5 needs, a longer barrel its already a gas hog. and its not ebolt its egrip, and how can you tell. as for the tripod.. thats a good idea but its not my style |

This guy is actually my group's Support/Machine Gunner (I call him the "Cover Man", original, no? He doesn't have an E-Grip. He has a Response Trigger. |
) during those oh-so-long scenario games. I'm thinking about assigning one of the new members of our group to stick with him as an assistant gunner (ie, fills up his hopper when needed) and protection from being flanked -- Or I might even do it. Just one of the many fun things to do during a scenario game.Posted By: j2duhr
