Just Got my G3 kit in and put it on so i thought I would let you see so you can tell me what you think. Thats the 18" Empire barrel, very quiet. Clip kit should be in soon! Thanks. Just got the paint done last night tell me what you think.

Looks nice. That camo paintjob seems a bit shakey though. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

Looks good. Finally a picture of something other than someones "cocker." The camo is alittle too straight. But it will look better with the clip. Very cool though. By the way is that you in the pic? ------------- Axe in the head, early to bed, Axe in the helmet, a thanks to Helmut... and I support Bush! So there. |

It looks nice... the shroud doesnt quite match the rest of the gun though. Too much tan on the shroud, but it still looks good. The clip will look cool in it too. How much does all that weigh? 7/10 ------------- WAR EAGLE!!! |

Nice Job, but it still doesnt compare to my guns length, (43&5/8"). You also put a little too much tan on there. 7/10  ------------- Nothing is Stronger than the Heart of a Volunteer Proud to be a Soldier in the United States Army! Commo Leads the Way!! |

Tad bit too much tan, but I love it.
The shroud is actually a PSG-1 handgrip, but for some reason, Opsgear decided to put a front sight on it, :S, I say you get an offset sight mount and a red-dot scope on that puppy, and make it look like a PSG-1, because it would if you did that. ------------- I spray, you pray.

It is very very accurate. The range is shorter than the flatline which i replaced but you learn to get use to it. Thanks for your comments! PS LiLMan Welcom To the Forum!

I get you trying to mathc the real lenght, but this thread is littered
with noobs that think the 18" barrel will add range, the OLNY thing
it's gonna do is add weight, and lower efficiency. Looks okay,
but the front grip doesn't match. Also aren't you somewhat pissed that for less then that I could buy a 2k2 black cocker, and put some of the best parts on it, shoot faster, and be MORE accurate? ------------- 2k4 Viking SCM, MM JMJ roller trigger WAS 1.6 WAS eyes, WAS switch Dye Minidrop CP on/off |

Ethan -- I only suggest you paint the 'reciever' of the magazine, don't paint the actual clip, I don't think magazines are ever painted in real life, because it would be a big mess of paint and gunpowder inside the reciever -- Just my 2 cents

The 18" is efficant , sure it loses range but it is dead quiet and accurate.it takes weight off the gun its alot less heaver than the flatline.Sarge14 can attest to that! No i am not pissed if you can get a cocker. it doesent matter to me how fast your gun can shoot. I ve been up agnst angels cockers and what matters is the expiernce of the player. I know how to use the woods and if i get that one shot and i usally do there dead! monoxide- thanks i think that i will take you up on your sugestion good one!

Yes, us speedballers are all morons who don't appreciate woodsball one bit. Y'all have been surfing pbnation too much, real speedballers aren't like that.
I happen to love that setup. Who cares if the camo scheme looks ugly, the point is you aren't supposed to see it! I like G3's/SG1's. I think your setup looks darn good. But don't listen to me, I'm a pigheaded speedballer... ------------- MIDN 2/C, US Navy LCE-SpyderMag | G-Force Pneumatic Mag | '99 RF Sniper II |

I know that wasn't a 98Flatline barrel on an A-5, however, I've seen it done. All you need is an adapter. A surprising number of people did it at D-Day this past year... like 2. Which, surprises me... They left the shrouds off, and had this barrel sticking off the end of their A-5 that looked like a radio edit. ------------- Wecomefromthelandoftheiceandsnowwherethemidnightsunandthehot springsblow!" |
