Moreover, in the case of the B-5 mod, you're using the RECEIVER as a stock. You're moving the hopper BEHIND the the grip frame, in fact, you're moving almost EVERYTHING to behind the grip frame, so I fail to see your point about forward weight at all.
I see no problem with adding weight overall, if, by doing so, you remove at least half the total net weight gain from from the prior net weight of the marker as held, fully loaded, on my hands. My legs can take it.
Put a B-5 next to your Autococker, tank on, and tell me which is longer, which puts more weight in your arms, and which has more weight forward of the grip.
Don't get me wrong, I love my 'Cocker, and I'm not a huge fan of the B-5 mod. But to say that the bullpup stock as a concept can't improve the handling of a paintball? I fail to see how one could intelligently defend such a statement.
Thank you, someone realizes that... haha. Anwyays, after it all boils down to it, its all a matter of preference, i prefer milsim, others prefer speedball. I like having an objective to work towards rather than running around and blasting other players. someone on the other side would say they don't like hauling a crap load of equipment and would rather jump on the field quickly, as speedballers do.
