<>HOW-TO MAKE A TAC CAP<br> <br> Materials and tools: You A-5 (duh) flip-lid pod that looks like the one in the picture below.  1. Take the pod and pull off the lid (the whole thing, not just the flippy part:   2. Put the Pod lid on top of the Cyclone feeder.  3. Push and twist (without breaking, of course) until the lid is secure and like you want it.  4. You're good to go!

Very good idea, simple, but i still dont understand the point of taccaps... Edit: your gun needs a paintjob badly. |

Yeah, I know about the paintjob. I just bought some primer yesterday so it should happen soon.

No, I was going to do it in tigerstripe camo... Yes, I know tigerstripe is ugly, but it's easy to do and it's different.

You should try the digital camo. It's stickied in upgrades and customizing. Just a suggestion... |

This is similar to what i did. Yea this is a great idea. Tac caps reduce the "bulk" of your paintgun in A-5's. The drawback is you can only carry 50-30 rounds (like a real gun). So you'll have to reload more often than with say the 200 round hopper. ------------- -Tippmann A-5 -2x Red Dot -HK36 Mag Kit -TAC CAP hopper -Response Trigger -Flatline Barrel -Adjustable Car.
