im not new to the sport....played for years before and did the real thing back in the army. with that said i am however new to the gun...i picked up an a5...ive strictly used the 98 before. im also new to the cyclone feed system and it just seems that the fingers would break cheaper grade ammo. so as the title says...what is the best ammo for the a5...value,strength?...side note...i am partial to a darker shell...enough to where i can see where its going but gotta have a bright pink fill...i hate wipers and pink is hard to miss.
------------- i may be old but the army taught me that you never quite till your in the box...until then im coming for you...silently |

I've gotten away with using Core from Dunham's for several months. Even the football-shaped paint shot ok. Was using my 12" J&J at the time. -------------

You need the Tippmann chamber brush and some high octane gasoline to help that. ------------- Innocence proves nothing FUAC!!!!! |

the walmarts in my area dont carry hardly any paintball stuff at all...few goggles and other useless crap but they do carry a box of 2000 of jt paintballs....marked recreational. green and black box and ran me 29 bucks plus tax. dark purple shell hot orange fill. works very good and they even opened the box for me and let me inspect every bag...no braks or dimples. ------------- i may be old but the army taught me that you never quite till your in the box...until then im coming for you...silently |

they used to car evil like 5 years ago when i was playing but i think the price steered people away from it...but in the last 2 years it seems that walmarts here in southern california has pretty much stopped selling any paintball stuff period...seems they are more interested in selling crap bb and airsoft stuff...like reaaaaly cheap quality crap ------------- i may be old but the army taught me that you never quite till your in the box...until then im coming for you...silently |
