custom pro, duh. the A5 weights to much and you cant ever change the hopper on the A5. that means that if the cyclone feed breaks or cant keep up you cant do anything about it. ------------- I own you, when I say jump you say, how high? |

The cyclone is replaceable, so no there is something you can do if it breaks. What is there that the cyclone cant keep up with, I doubt you can pull the trigger faster than 15bps. Also the custom pro is new, we wont know about problems with it for a while. -------------

well if you have an a5 with an egrip and a custom pro with an egrip I think that there about the same but the only prob that i have with the a5 is it uses a little extra gas than most guns but that about all ------------- CLICK THE LINK BELOW http://model98.org">

The a-5 is alot better. when i shot my 98(before i sold it) i'd have to shake it for the paintballs to load into the chamber. With the a-5 you never have to worry about a ball not coming out. plus the a-5 is an all around better gun ------------- A-5 R/T 32 degrees remote w/slide check |

| The A-5 rocks. When low on co2 the response trigger isn't rapid like when full. |
