The camo paint job is really easy. Tape off what you
don't want painted. Get these camo spray paints from home Depot: Deep Forest Green Khaki Black Brown Testor's Dull Coat (from Hobbytown USA) Spray your base coat...lighter colors first then cut a pattern from a sheet of photo paper (to keep it from curling with wet paint). make the template whatever pattern you like. Lay the cut out template on the marker and lightly spray through it. it will give the soft edge. |

Awsome G36 Stock. Thats sweet. Oh, and Awsome paintjob, Im gonna try your technique. 10/10 on the paint. The clip now looks good, but as said before a G36 clip would look great and go good with the stock. 9/10 on your gun. Im currently halfway done with my G36 98 custom. ------------- Axe in the head, early to bed, Axe in the helmet, a thanks to Helmut... and I support Bush! So there. |

well to tell you the truth i didnt even look at the gun, i was far too busy with mike barch's sig....ok but on a side note, if you want the true milsim look, take off the double trigger for authenticity(sp?). it doesnt take away fromt the gun at all, you just wont really see one on a real gun. other than that i love it. ------------- For my 16th birthday, my parents tried to surprise me with a car.

What's with the air line? I think it's one of the best a5 I've
seen, not over done, awesome camo, best stock I've seen and best
looking clip too.

Ok some like and some don't like the stock. The stock is easily removable
in less than 10 seconds. I have the JCS folding stock too but it just doesn't look right on the marker. I personally like the G-36 stock since it just looks, well, "different." The project looks fine without a stock at all I think. But it has a "finished" quality as it is. Thanks for your comments on the paint. It was easy to do and the paint dries to the touch in 20 minutes...remember TO THE TOUCH! See above for the kind of paint and availabliity. I appreciate all the favorable comments everyone!!! |

No, I did the paint myself. Opsgear didn't do it. Buy the camp paint at
Home Depot. It's Rust-Oleum Specialty Camoflage Non-Reflective Finish. I bought all the colors, black, khaki, deep forest green and brown. These are the vietnam-era camo colors used in the woodland pattern. Clean the surface of your marker with alcohol then mask off any areas where you don't want the paint to go. Spray the light base coat, remember to use the lighter colors first. Then cut yourself a mask of varying patterns out of photo paper to keep it from curling with wet paint. Lay the pattern over the gun then spray through it to get the soft-edged darker shapes. You can do tons of patterns. Finish it off with Testors Dull Coat available from any hobby store. |

| i was just curious, my brother just got a a-5 today, n2 tank(92/4500), harness with suspenders, stock, and a flatline; well the question is, in that first post, that picture. can you actually see the reddot very well or no.[note:my brother is right handed] Also another question, is compressed air and n2 the same thing?[very confused about that two] |

Definitely a very cool A-5. With very good paintjob. Only downside is the mismtached hybrid look... G36 stock, Ak-47 mag, and the body of the A-5 is like an Mp5k. -------------

The Red Dot site on the hybrid is a WalMart special. I have a Tasco
ProPoint on another A-5 (that everyone really blasted!!!) and it works like a champ! The dot is VERY bright and perfectly visible in broad daylignt. The WalMart brand, while it works, is not nearly as bright...go for the Tasco if you can. It costs a little more but works better. As for CO2 vs N2, cant answer that one. I've heard that N2 shoots flatter and more consistantly but since I use CO2 I can't honestly answer that. Can anyone else answer this? Your brother made a good choice! A-5's RULE! Out of the box, one of the best markers available, if not THE best! That's not to diss on any other marker so don't get upset!!!! You have to take cost into account!!!! -------------

| Nice gun, but it looks to me like to much white to me. Camo should be darker. Still a good gun though.8.5/10 I would remove the dual trigger to complete the milsim look or get the JCS adjustable dual trigger if I were you. I have the JCS trigger, my trigger pull is 5oz on the top part and 3oz on the bottom, with about a millimeter of travel. |

Compressed air and n2 is the exact same. call it HPA or air not n2 or nitro. It is much better then CO2.

i doubt the dot is perfectly visible, my friend has one, and i've used it during the day. i dont care if the sites were different brand, they all work the same way, and they are not that easy to see.i can't personally back this up, but i would have to say that out of the box, an angel, timmy, impy, or any other high end gun are probably just a touch better than an a-5 ------------- For my 16th birthday, my parents tried to surprise me with a car.

On out of box, factor in the price range. I've been using my a5 for a
while now, and I don't think I could have gotten a better gun for the
rec ball stuff... And the dot is indeed clearly visible in broad daylight. I know the scope, and it shines like a beacon. The brand WILL make a difference, since they're not the same on the inside...Aka Knockoff. Someone had mentioned a boomstick as an option to the flatline, and I wanted to put my 2 cents in on that. I've shot both on a A5 at a fence that was around 200 feet away (approximately, because we paced it off to see how far it was. Basically one side of my back yard to another...) and with the velocity set to around 290 fps, the flatline was grouping at about 10 to 14 inches. Usually tighter, and all at a straight line from where we were shooting from (about 5 ft off the ground), with the exception of a few wild ones that went over the fence. I heard no shouts of alarm from the nieghbors, so hopefully we didn't pop anyone...  The Dye Boomstick (16" I think) wouldn't even hit the fence, hitting the ground about 10 feet out and rolling up and bouncing off it. And I'm talking about shooting in a straight line, not trying to lob the paint in an arch. I'm sure some folks out there have had different results, but after an afternoon of test shooting, the guy that owns the boomstick put it back in the box, screwed his flatline back on and hasn't looked back since. We get shots of that distance quite often in our games, sometimes further out. I had a shot a weekend ago that caught a guy right in the mask lense from at least 300ft. Luck? Definately. He didn't even see where the shot came from. Could any other barrel have made that shot? Not that I've seen. Just my opinion though. |

Frostwolf is right, very little beats the flatline for the
A-5. As far as range is concerned it's almost frightening how far the thing shoots!!! I amazes me. You see, Frostwolf and I play on the same MilSim team, The Sidewinders and the majority of us use the flatlines...pretty effectively I might add. Frostwolf - how many games have we lost? As for camo paint jobs...some like, some dislike. -------------

I'd say out of almost the past 6 weekends straight, averaging 3 to 5 games a
day, probably 4 or 5. Some due to stupid mistakes on our part, some due
to just getting shot.
