well my rifled barrel is great and improves accuracy over the stock The carry handle and Dot Scope is high enough so my stock doesnt get in the way of my mask. ive got 3 internal upgrades, my internals are polished which means theres much less friction on the moving parts and cause of that it saves on gas! The click Ratchet of the cyclone is now all metal so thats not going to wear away and need replacing MY JCS Power Tube is Solid Metal and wont wear down, plus it saves on gas too and increases fps. plus everything soo solid it feels unbreakable!

im eventually gonna get a Qloader for it so thats gonna require shaving off the cyclone claw things to attach the direct feed sniper mount (tho its not gonna be a sniper rifle) it was something i saw on RAP's website that made me excited! no more attaching it under the barrel or have hoses wherever... direct from the Qloader feeder right into the gun! lovely! :) G

Blech. I can't stand markers that are a mishmash of various guns. Sorry, but it doesn't work for me.

personally it makes me think of a H&K G3, tho im not sure why. doesnt feel like a UMP when u hold it... kinda like between a rifle and a CQB marker... ...plus for proper CQB i could always take the stock off n replace it with the stock stock, which pretty much isnt a stock! |

It is a mismatched of milsim parts but it looks like it goes together imo. Besides who says when you make a milsim it has to look like a production firearm, just don't make one that looks too ridiculous. I will give it a 10/10 because you used your imagination and made a original look that looks good!

Not bad, but I don't really like the UMP body with a longer barrel.

| I think that it looks good personally; I like milsim. I do have to agree that the "lip" behind the handguard should be removed. Also, you mentioned Rap4's "Sniper Adapter" for the A5; dont do it. It will be nothing but trouble. I got it for my A5 and i had to fabricate a bracket that holds it on the side. It just doesnt work well at all. Check out the Qloader forums for more info on that though. |

even im not 100% happy with its looks if im to be honnest... but their
picky things i cant really solve without getting the power tools out! but if i were so inclined id... cut the overhanging lip off the bottom front of the marker file down the rear iron sights so i can pave over it with rail and have my markers sights seem less dodgy... but to be realistic these are suuuuch small problems they amount to a tiny thought in my head somewhere that vanishes once ive got it in my hands! its only having the marker in profile view that u start wanting to nip n tuck little bits of it. those changes would make very little difference when i admire it at any other angle.

Since its bumped anyway, and only a month old... I usually hate opsgear crap and mixed milsim parts but this somehow fits nicely. Shave the lip off and I think it looks great. -------------

not wanting this to be bumped anymore, but the whole, long barrels and rifling makes a more accurate shot is kinda, how do i say this, BULL. if i can find it, ill show you this article, where they took a couple hundred different barrels, put them on a vice held mag, and shot lots of paint through it. their conclusion was that length of barrel doesnt affect accuracy, so anyone who thinks a 20" barrel is the pintacle of accuracy is wrong, and they also discovered that: barrel kits all are good, and rifling a paintball barrel is the WORST thing you can do for accuracy, it does not work on a spherical object, especially when its not a perfect sphere. they noted that it gave the ball a Horid spin which was Unpredictable and caused worse accuracy than what a stock barrel with a decent paint fit could. Im gonna search for this article, and the newer article on paint and how it affects accuracy, so i can put all these dumb paintball accuracy myths outa business. ------------- its easy to be famous, just set yourself on fire |
