Here is a picture of my A-5 with the new X-Core. Last picture I made came out crappy so now you can see the paintjob better. Yes, if you notice, it's missing the rear peep sight. Have to order another. Also, do you like the hopper green or should I make it black again? Rate it if you want and give me some ideas. Thanks

Yeah, I've been hearing that a lot. At first I was going to do an Olive Drab but I liked this color. I think the dark green matches the black better. It's mostly for looks anyways.

If yer tryin to make yer A5 into an M4, dump that rail and get a better lookin one, get a M4 handguard, M16 front sight....all that can be found in http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.322764/sc.10/category.72/.f - http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.322764/sc.10/category.72 /.f ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

| I wasn't really going for a milsim look, just something that fit my needs. The reason for the sight rail is because I used to have a red dot on it but I took it off. Now I am thinking of taking off the rail though. |

WGP Torpedo drop. (The one in my sig) I like the paintjob. I don't like stocks but that's just me. The best stock in my opinion is the tank sticking out from the stock ASA or uni-mount. ------------- Video: http://pbvids.gamesxposed.com/files1/RTP.1116548567.wmv - My Automag RT Pro ::: http://boydsters-pics.mypicgallery.com/ - My Gallery ::: |

Get rid of the Star Fire bolt! Seriously. I have one and it kills the fps. I had my RVA all the way in while using this and I was wondering why I couldn't get more than 230 fps. Then I remember this little thing was in there. If that was a better design, Tippmann would have made it stock in the gun. But it's not. ------------- Video: http://pbvids.gamesxposed.com/files1/RTP.1116548567.wmv - My Automag RT Pro ::: http://boydsters-pics.mypicgallery.com/ - My Gallery ::: |
