The PCS US-5 is a rip-off of the A5. A5 is better in so many ways. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

Yeah, the a-5 is better. Perhaps the US5 can match the a-5, but it in no way would ever be better.

I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that the A-5 is best considering even after 1053 reviews on pbreview it retains it's 9.3 out of 10 average... if not best, atleast preferred.

I have seen the US5 at my local dealer was thinking of buying it but after lots of questions with the dealer i was sold on the A 5 . You can mod it until the cows come home and still not be done.

Your at the Tippmann forum asking about whether to buy a Tippmann rip-off or the real product. Think about that... what do you expect us to say? ------------- A-5 Response Trigger DOP Blade Trigger Polished Internals X-Chamber Custom Paint 14" J&J |

Yeah, he said they SHOULD have made it center feed. I agree, it would have given it that single edge. I'm willing to bet just about anything that my a-5 will outperform just about any us-5 there is out there at the moment, MAYBE not in accuracy, but that's just the barrels fault. If i'm wrong, I bet I could atleast show you an a-5 that will never be beat by a us-5. But why shouldn't it? it's a more expensive gun, and it's a tippmann... They aren't really known for overcharging... ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |

Center feed? Although i highly doubt it, do A-5 mods/upgrades work with us5? I hope not... but thats just one more reason to buy an A-5. Upgrading your gun is 90% of the fun. You want to make your gun as unique as possible. I wonder how the us5 forums are doing? Psh ------------- A-5 Response Trigger DOP Blade Trigger Polished Internals X-Chamber Custom Paint 14" J&J |

^^ I dont even know how you can stand this forum. I mean you using a rip-off product of the forum you call home. Thats like going to Mcdonalds with a Whopper just to tell people how good it is. I think if the people who went to Mcdonalds WANTED a Whopper they would go to Burger King. I hope you understand. ... Then i read where you are from and it all makes sence.

damn it Please don't let his words reflect your view of US-5 owners. BTY: the ball gets slashed because you are going fully auto with a gravity fed hopper.

| ok so heres the deal with the PCS US5 and the A-5 they are essentially the same exact gun, tho the A-5 is more durable, but they both mod the same. They are the same company. When i first started i played with a 98 custom and hated it, it took me a long time to get back to Tippmann it happened when i used my friends A-5 and i did some research i found that the US-5 is just a cheaper version of the A-5 and its a great gun for those who don't play often but want a quality gun the i would advise getting a US-5 plus i like the semi, 3 round and the full auto feature with it |

Oh dear god what has happened here. A Tippmann A-5 with an e grip can do full auto so you can't say Full and semi auto (Lets see an A-5 do that). Also, lets look at the companies histories now. Ok Tippmann revolutionized paintball whereas PCS is trying to copy Tippmann's every gun. It is like buying from a trusted reliable brand or a " Lets try to steal a trusted brands idea, " Company. Oh and btw here's carma, Tippmann A-5 is STOCK with Cyclone (Lets see a US-5 do that.) ------------- The Tippmann 7th Strike Army www.tippmann7thstrikearmy.webs.com |

ok i was obviously misunderstood. i am not saying the US-5 is better than the A-5, cause the A-5 is far better, what i am saying tho is that the US-5 isn't as **edited**ty as people say its a good gun for people who don't play as much and don't want to drop a **edited** load into a gun they will rarely use. The A-5 is far more rugged and a far better gun for those who are playing every weekend, where the US-5 is a very similar gun, cheaper version, but is good for people who want the A-5 feel and look but don't want to spend the money. My over all saying is that the A-5 is the best of the 2 and the US-5 is more of the cheaper version for those who rarely play when i get more time to play i plan on upgrading to the A-5
and yes i was miss informed about the companies being the same, i was told that PCS was a sub brand of TIppmann, but obviously i was told false, thank you for that now i know. |
