Hey guys I need help Thanks ------------- Will |
im trying to decide on a paintball gun and i want something that looks like an actual weapon or can be made to look like one. im big into the realism area i guess i get it from my dad who does historical military re-enactments. anyway i've narrowed it down to either an ariakon SIM-15 or a base model/r/t system Tippmann a-5. anyone who can give me advice please reply or send your thoughts to me at: mailto:olneycubbaseball4@yahoo.com - olneycubbaseball4@yahoo.com Replies:

That's what I would do also. Not only will you have a cool looking gun you will also have a good performing gun. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

I would go with the A-5. It is a really dependable gun. Plus you can modify it to make it look like a real gun. Good luck! ------------- 98% of American teenagers have tried pot If you are part of the 2% that hasnt put this in your signature |

yes, get an A-5 and if you want buy a mod kit, people have made them appear to be M-9s, AK-47's, and ALOT of MP5's since that is what the A-5 is modeled after. ------------- Uh oh, im becoming a gun whore, Fully Upped A-5, Red Shocker Vision, B2K4 w/PDS, soon to come....ION |

Mirkx Voss, that A5 is absolutely sick!
About how many hours would you say you put in on it? I know it's probably hard to estimate. The only reason I would steer clear of either the Araikon or BT16 is that they just aren't as popular as the A5. Tippmann is gonna have the better customer service, reliability, it's really no more expensive, and it's more upgradable. Though I'm not an A5 Flatline fan, the barrel costs $100, shoots farther than anything not a Flatline, has a flatter trajectory than standard barrels, and looks like a huge-ass suppressor...plus it's all-metal, which I prefer along with alot of others...even though it adds some weight. I think this is a much more functional start towards the mil-sim look rather than those M16 shrouds. But as many have showed, you can make the A5 look like an M16 pretty convincingly. |

well you can upgrade like these guys said but if you wanna lay out some cash and i do mean serious cash {like $600} you could get a real gun that has been turned into a paintball gun they have a ton of them at http://www.rustyspaintballgear.com - www.rustyspaintballgear.com ------------- 98% of ion owners think ions are better than any high end gun.

This is a perfect example of how not to act on the forum... rude.... YELLING... can't spell... ...and besides, the thought that a Spyder could be better than a Tippy... that is insane! I've had both and my A5 is much better than my Shutter. ------------- Xs.

^No.
The Tippmann is actually the only company that makes a barrel that actually causes paintballs to travel farther..the Flatline. So, a Tippmann would actually shoot farther than any gun on the market that doesn't have a Fltaline barrel on it. As for accuracy, that has to do with quality of paint, barrel, and consistency of air source. |
