Well I didn't like the color of it so I changed it to Olive Drab. Before: http://www.imageshack.us"> After: http://www.imageshack.us"> This one is bad but it shows the gun's specs. http://www.imageshack.us"> Had to touch up the red tongue a little. You can see the difference in the second. I still have to put in the eye though and make it wrap around the whole hopper. I didn't think of this myself though, I owe that idea to Pgh Park Sniper. Here is his http://tippmann.com/players/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=125270&PN=8 - http://tippmann.com/players/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID =125270&PN=8 . I still have to repaint it though and add some clear coat cause you can notice some spots that are crapped up a little. So should I keep the mouth or get rid of it? Rate if you want. I need some upgrade ideas. Not looking for E-Grip or other firepower stuff though. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

| Good choice on switching the paint color. It looks good. Maybe work on the jaws, its a cool idea. For non-firepower upgrade suggestions: Longer foregrip if you want it, HPA, and a reg. Other possibilities are a really good barrel or a 2x trig. |

I like the new color better than the old. I say that you keep the mouth. You're pretty set on upgrades if you don't want a firepower upgrade. The only thing I can think of is HPA and a reg and little stuff like grips etc. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

get a stock, and a R-5 hopper, maybe a red dot sight for the rail, or a stabalizer or something. Why didnt you paint the back half of the hopper? I think that it looks kinda goofy like that myself, but I just like that black best myself. ------------- A-5 14" Stiffi Tapco CAR Stock Shocktech A-5 Drop Maddman Spring Kit R-5 Stealth Hopper A5-A2 Front Grip Palmer Stab E-Grip Lapco Double Trigger HPA - and a license to kick butt |

I have a stock and I was thinking about the R-5. Already had a red dot on the sight, didn't like it. If I painted the whole hopper green, there would be too much green. I had to balance it out.

someone recommended a really good barrel. If im not mistaken thats a Lapco, most likely bigshot. Great barrel ------------- A-5 14" Bigshot E-Grip Palmer's Female Stabilizer 68/4500 HPA Collapsible Stock Coiled Remote Polished Internals |

Looks about as good as the dude who had a dragon painted on his A-5.

the R-5 looks really lame IMO and it doesnt hold anymore paintballs -------------  |

It holds like 20 more balls. I heard they break easy too when they get hit. I painted the eye on, now I need to get a picture up. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

Pretty cool. I give it a 8/10. You should get an E-grip if you don't have one. ------------- TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM 14" Progressive barrel 32* Black gel grips BT-16 Double trigger Pen Spring Mod X-core Expansion Chamber Vertical Adapter |
