I like everything but the double trig, it just messes up the mil-sim thing. -------------

I like the double trigger personally, since it's not electric it has more of a "pull" so two fingers is much easier. RichWhic I don't really want an E-Frame on it since E-Grip can die about 95% faster than a regular mechanical trigger frame lol. I might eventually add in an E-Grip however I've always thought of Tippmann's as excellent mechnical markers, not electric markers. ------------- Tippmann A-5 -Shocktech Drop -Super R\T -QEV -JCS Powertube -BT Sight -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

Thank's everyone, I was thinking of an R\T but I keep hearing they have tons of problems :-\, estcstpnt, why do you want me to take off the Sight-Rail? I personally just use that as a carrying handle :-D, Not to mention is does make it look more "M-4-ish". If I do goto another frame I will most likely go E rather than R\T if you think I should add anything else tell me! ------------- Tippmann A-5 -Shocktech Drop -Super R\T -QEV -JCS Powertube -BT Sight -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

You have your flatline shroud on backwards but I like the overall look. In
fact, it looks quite a bit like the gun I use to play with. This particular configuration works really well for me. 
Good job Revo. Do you have a Traxxas? Just curious. -------------

Lol, I have my flatline shroud on backwards for a reason. Pro-Team SOMEHOW messed it up, if I do it the other way then the cap that goes on the front of the barrrel wiggles and flips lol, either way that shroud is being replaced in about 2 days I'm one 6x as good (I posted it above) But I like that setup that you had but it looks like a mix of an M-4 and MP5...

Yup, that's exactly what it is that's why i refer to it as my "Hyrid" however
there are several elite unites such s the SEALs that use the M4/16 platform converted for 9mm as well as for 7.69 x39mm (AK47). Here's an example:

Odd looking, I'd personally perfer the true M-16 or M-4 look but that's just me ------------- Tippmann A-5 -Shocktech Drop -Super R\T -QEV -JCS Powertube -BT Sight -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S. Foregrip -Stock -C02 20OZ Anti-Siphon -X-Core EXP Chamber -Macro-Line Tippmann C-3 |

Ive had an egrip for almost 3 years now and the only problem Ive ever had with it was when I screwed up the instalation of my JCS Duel trigger, and those things are a pain in the butt to install. I sent it to my shop they fixed up the trigger and its been fine ever since. 2 Skirmish DDays and plenty of other games in the rain proven. Its a lot more durable than people think it is, or at least mine is. ------------- A-5 Flatline E-Grip Tapco T-6 stock JCS Duel Trigger JCS Universal BiPod Core Remote 88ci/4500psi Crossfire R-5 Hopper Apex Barrel Hot Shot red dot Lapco offset Spec Ops A5-A2 grip |

Well, either way it is nowhere near as "Durable" as the stock mechnical, mechnical will ALWAYS be more reliable than electric that's just a given. I'll goto an E-Grip within about two months just to test it out. I've already seen the fun of them since I came from the Spyder Group I used Imagines, and Pilot ACS, The Pilot ACS rips on full auto at 18\bps so I know the joy of firing a fully automatic gun. And I do miss it however I do sacrifice complete reliability if I go back to electric. ------------- Tippmann A-5 -Shocktech Drop -Super R\T -QEV -JCS Powertube -BT Sight -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

I'm not a fan of remote lines because in woodsball they get caught on tree limbs.. however I just ordered the Metadyne Flatline A-5 Shroud w\ Weavertails and they are also sending me a FREE R.I.S. Handgrip so I can mount the handgrip onto the shroud and take off my front handgrip and put a magazine where my old handgrip was :-D ------------- Tippmann A-5 -Shocktech Drop -Super R\T -QEV -JCS Powertube -BT Sight -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

Yea, the main reason I don't like remote lines is because it takes balance away from the marker and makes it top heavy especially if you have a full hopper. |

Technically a steel-hose is still macroline.. just covered up by a protective layer of steel which I prefer for woodsball ------------- Tippmann A-5 -Shocktech Drop -Super R\T -QEV -JCS Powertube -BT Sight -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.
