Doesn't look bad, but I hate how small the handguard looks.

Yeah, you're right. It does look much better here. I don't think I'll ever get over that handguard though.

Oh and the mag comes off to hold all the tools you need for this bad boy.

Paintball is war without a conscience. You don't see the faces of the dead in your dreams, you don't feel bad about pulling the trigger, and you don't second guess yourself for the rest of your life..

It really is a fun little marker. I've got to change the barrel though. A longer one enhances the overall look of the front half of the marker.

I like it. i might buy one if i get money and back into paintballing.

i like the ACU background and idk if i want that gun or the a5 but ppl telling me t get the a5 so i guess il get it

lol buy both, you can never have to many guns.

or you can be broke and buy the A5, more options than the alpha black.

*Sigh* Why oh why can Tippmann not figure out a way to put the drive spring IN the stock tube (similar to the real AR's buffer spring positioning) ....especially on this marker, which (could be terribly wrong, never gotten a chance to handle one yet) seems to not have the 'no stock' options you have with the 98 and the A5? That would once and for all eliminate the a) awkward space between the trigger guard and magazine, or b) in the case of the alpha black or any a5/98 with the air through mag, eliminate the awkward space in front of the mag between the handguards...

Rant over....good looking marker for what it is meant for. Agreed however..that army flash would HAVE to go!! LOL

Edit: Forgot to mention..Nice work on the cyclone mod. Looks great and adds some 'umph' to this marker.

Red added for emphasis.

The basic version comes "no stock."

Edited Note: I like your idea. Since it's mil-sim anyway they should have just made the stock mandatory and stuck some of the operating system in it. They could have had a more realistic looking marker.

That's really not a BAD idea at all. With the carry handle being integrated, it sort of dictates that the stock and fore grip should be added as well. If that's the case, then an integrated stock with the operating system inside would have been more realistic, but would have probably raised the initial MSRP of the marker. I think the whole point of this one was to provide a cheap entry level Milsim marker that you can use, and customize when you've got the dime.
