I've tried both and rejected both for a couple of reasons.  The X7 hopper extends way to far in front of the barrel, which makes the marker look unbalanced.  The 50-rounder looks pretty good, but now we're sacrificing ammo capacity.  I use my A-5 to play, not to win fashion shows at the cost of effectiveness.

Hey Secret Squirrel I really like the look of your marker. I just had one question for you, and it's about the barrel. I was just wondering if you loose some accuracy with the shorter barrel? If i sound ignorant I'm sorry, i'm very new at the sport so please forgive me. Thank you for your time.

Honestly, I do think the marker would be slightly more accurate with a longer barrel.  For my style of play, however, having a compact marker I can sling behind my back so I can use my hands is a must.  Also, the short barrel makes my A-5 extremely loud, which again compliments my style of play.  It's all about what works for you.

if your marker is for play, not fashion as you boast, why the mag and the red dot site?

other than that little bit of hypocracy, nice marker.

Mag and red dot aren't really sacrificing performance in the same way a smaller loader would.

The mag I legitimately use as a hand support (the gas line and foregrip just weren't cutting it), but I'll plead guilty concerning the red-dot sight.  It just complimented the look of the marker.  But I never recall saying that everything on the marker was strictly functional!
