You need to use an adapter...sadly most people on this forum have not used other kits beside the Freak, so almost everyone besides me is going to tell you "FREAK!" I'd go with the Evil Pipe, looks stunning and performs flawlessly

As far as the empire kit goes it all depends. Theres a couple different kinds... I hear nothing but good things about the Empir3 Revolver kit, but thats probably because its just the Scepter Powerlyte kit with the Empir3 logo chucked on it. The new Scepter kit comes out in about 3 or 4 months I think... I think I'm gonna hold off buying a kit until that comes out and make my decision then.

I have a Stiffi Switch, a Freak, and I have had experience with a PepperStickz kit. I don't even know if you can get a Switch or Stickz in A-5 threads, but here we go anyway.

Stiffi is good, it's what I use most of the time. Has four backs (.685-.691) but they are very short (2 inches.) Allegedly this makes it inakkurte because the ball has little stabilizing room, but it is no slouch and is just as accurate as the Freak and PepperStickz, which both have long backs. Reasonably accurate after you break paint.

Freak is very good until you break paint. Accuracy is abysmal after you have liquid in there, and it will not come back in any form until you clean it out properly.

PepperStickz is on my friends B2k. It has four backs and two fronts. The backs are very long (8 inches) so, come to your own conclusions there. He hasn't broken any paint yet so I don't know how well it does through breaks. He got it for 100 bucks at SD NPPL.

^^^I got that 7-piece off action village for 50$ and I haven't used it enough to tell you a whole lot about it. One thing I did notice is that is shoots horribly through breaks. I broke a ball in a speedball game, and it pretty much puts you out of the game it's that bad. Probably why it was so cheap...otherwise it shoots ok.

^^^i have one.  it's for my autococker.  back when i first got it, i paid full-price for it.  i think it was around $160...  really, no marker shoots well through breaks, you just have to keep a swab on you.  it takes 2 seconds.  once the paint to barrel is matched, it's accurate as hell.  i'll have to make a vid when i get some paint...

People who have Edge kits, and write about them(ones ive seen) like them

i personally dislike my freak, i dont like the whole insert idea. They come out with squeegees(depends though), and i feel like i can break the insert so easy, and i get paint between the insert and barrel that makes it tricky to get out sometimes
