Hey people. I was wondering if the Opsgear accessories to make your A5
a Milsim are worth the money? Are they durable? Realistic feeling? Any
info would be great as I am going to be purchasing a kit soon enough.
Thanks in advance!

Maybe not but im more of a recball player so i enjoy having a more
modern realistic look, not some space age shooting thing that waists my
hopper in 30 seconds.

they are durable, they are realistic, they do look cool. but as far as performance, you dont get anything.

No. Well, not sure anymore, I heard Ops Gear changed some things, but a month or two ago, their stuff broke. It is all plastic and not exactly the "high impact" stuff you get from Tippmann. I'd rather buy an Airsoft gun that you wnat to model your marker after and hack the parts up yourself.

^ not all of there stuff is plastic, and if you buy a plastic accesory,
its yur job to make sure that its hard or durable plastic before you
buy it.

The stocks and handguards are mainly plastic. Please don't tell me what my job is and isn't, I was simply answerng an opinionated question with an opinion-based answer.
Thanks.
Oh yeah, to reinforce it, I'd heard of a lot of people filling the stock with something called "Great Stuff" which is a foaming, sticky agent. Saw something about it on some A5 site. Interesting article.

^ yeah i heard about that also. but yur best bet for a stock is
to go to pbreview.com and look for the ones that dont have wobble.
