After being a marshal at NVS I've decided to take up paintball again. I've not really participated for a couple of years but fancy getting back into it.
My only marker is the ever reliable A5 but it's mostly stock. Apart from a couple of barrels and a Python kit, only other modification is a JCS powertube. I'm in the process of stripping it down and cleaning everything, replace the o-rings and oil it up.
Really I just have a few questions;
What modifications and upgrades should I look at for the A5?
Apex2 or Flatline? I prefer not having to tilt my marker up, I much rather aim down the length of it: Is the Apex2 really worth it over a Flatline?
My current air tank is well out of test period, how likely are failures if the tank didnt get used much anyway? Would it be more worthwhile buying a new tank or send mine off for testing?
What I'm considering is a cyclone upgrade kit, sliding stock and if I can still get one, an old style Flatline (personally i think the A5 is too long for the new 'MP5' looking Flatline). Additionally, I'd be looking at a Tac Cap rather than the bulky hopper, much prefer to place my shots rather than spray 30 balls at one target.
Any thoughts and suggestions would be much appreciated
