| i am now getting back into the sport after a year layoff. i started off with a tippmann 98 and then to a armotech wg 65 cqb. i am in the market for a new gun and my two choices are the tippmann a5 and the ariakon sim5. the price on the a5 is cheaper and it looks like it is more upgradeable. to make a long question shorter which in your opinions would i be better off with? |

| it seems like it is your basic scenario marker modeled after the Heckler Koch mp5. its like the a5 with a stock and a longer barrel. |

I would go with the A5. If you want to MilSim it, there are tons of possibilities instead of being limited to 1 with the ariakon. Like you said, the A5 is cheaper and more upgradeable. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |
