Here is my Tippmann A-5.
So far I have....
Added a Tippmann Collapsable Stock
Shocktech Drop-Forward W\ On\Off ASA
Lapco Big Foregrip (METAL)
Pro-Team Shroud
Double Trigger Upgrade
BT Fixed Sight Rail

I am adding the Metadyne Industries A-5 Flatline R.I.S. Shroud very soon it can be viewed HERE http://www.metadyneindustries.com/catalog/images/scotts/A5/S hrouds/flatlin1.jpg

I am also going to be adding a fore-grip to the new shroud so I can slap on a removable M-4 Magazine inplace of the current foregrip and add a Tippmann EXP Chamber.... Updates will follow soon! Leave comments please!

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.

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!

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... (Clip is an MP5 Mag)

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:

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.

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.

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

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
