Here boys is my custom painted A-5, aka Sharkie. I intended on painting it with effective camo, but got lost with design. Now it's more of a looker than a hider. I did everything myself with an air brush kit. I planned on doing more to the collapsable stock, but got lazy(and anxious.) Not bad seeing as this is the 2nd object I've ever painted with an air brush. http://home.att.net/~rde2/james/DSCN0210.jpg - http://home.att.net/~rde2/james/DSCN0210.jpg A close up pic. of the side to show detail. Note that I removed the origonal sights that came stock, but didn't fill in the voids. http://home.att.net/~rde2/james/DSCN0221.jpg - http://home.att.net/~rde2/james/DSCN0221.jpg Another angle... http://home.att.net/~rde2/james/DSCN0215.jpg - http://home.att.net/~rde2/james/DSCN0215.jpg And remember, if you think it is too shiny or the green was too light, you'll have to address those complaints to Mr. Sharkie http://home.att.net/~rde2/james/DSCN0213.jpg - http://home.att.net/~rde2/james/DSCN0213.jpg And for curious minds, here my setup: Before you all say the same thing, I have no interest in paying an additional $50 more than what I payed for my stealth barrel for a flatline barrel. The Stealth barrel is a sure head shot a 50 yards without a sight. Now that I have the sight equipt, I planned on lowering my shots fired/kills taken ratio quite a bit. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to zeroing it in yet. |

| I just wanted to do something different than everyone else. I know it won't hide all that good in the woods, but if anyone gets close enough to see me I'm not doing my job right. |

| Sweet camo. I love the hopper, but why did you go from black and green to white? |

What would you guys rate it on a scale of 1-10??? Oh, and P!nk Panther, I know I had to impress you for you to say more than just "meh"! |

If you want to make it camouflaged for the winter time, seeing as your stock is white, youcan look in to buying a new set of receiver halves at countypaintball. That is what I am going to do as soon as I come up with the $60.

The barrel is not tapped. It is just a camo bandana thats wrapped around it and tied down. Bango, that's an interesting idea, but my group doesn't play in the cold. |
I was going to do alot more on the stock, but through laziness finished it gray. I'll get back to it later, when I figure out exactly what I want to do.Posted By: Abodame99

If you really wanted to make yer A5 look more like a Shark since you named it "Sharkie", you shouldve used dull grey where the green paint is located and I like shark teeth and eyes, reminds me of the Flying Tigers during WWII...8/10. ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

its alright i guess but next time use olive drab green, a good muddy brown color, a little bit of black striping and make shure the paint you use has a flat finish. other than the paint job goodwork i like the barrel ------------- Tippmann A-5 Flatline ACI 4 stage chamber Tasco scope mount Swatforce red dot CAR stock Hogue grip sleeve |
