i saw a commmando a-5 at the paintball store today, it was pretty nasty looking, how good are they?

**Coenen** · June 16th, 06:00 PM

The one that looks like an M-4 or an MP-5?

They are nice if you like the feel of a real weapon. But they are restricted mostly to scenario and woodsball work, as they are generally too heavy and long to be practical in the arena.

**nightstalker88** · June 16th, 06:04 PM

this one, i think, it looked cooler in the store

**Coenen** · June 16th, 06:08 PM

Overpriced and impractical. Looks good, but isn't much for performance.

**GrEEdY** · June 16th, 06:11 PM

It's a barrel shroud and a stock, nothing great.

Like Coenen said, very impractical, not to mention long.

ya i was goin to get one untill i found out it was all looks and nothing really made it performe better

yeah that whole commando thing is all cosmetic but the a5 is a really affordable, upgradable gun . . . but u already knew that

remember, its on the inside that counts, unless ur fat

Spoken like a true Quagmire fan, AAaaallll Riiighht.

But seriously, for the extra you'd pay for a commando A-5, you could put worthwhile ups on a stock A-5 and have some fun. If you want a Mil-sim look you can't do it halfway like that setup.

**nightstalker88** · June 17th, 12:43 PM

maybe thats not it, it looked better than that pic, it looked real.

**dhill0413** · June 17th, 02:01 PM

waste of money and detrimental to paintball.

mil-sim guns are dumb cuz people see them and get a bad impression of paintball.

dont support that crap...just get a normal a-5

Flatliner105 · June 17th, 02:02 PM

Amen^^

**nightstalker88** · June 17th, 02:10 PM

its funny you say that cause i was watching tactical to practicle and paintball was designed as a mil sim

**dhill0413** · June 17th, 03:20 PM

yea but its not a mil-sim now...its a sport.

is football a milsim? is basketball? no. neither is paintball. dont treat it as such

**nightstalker88** · June 17th, 03:32 PM

dude., thats like saying, is NFL fever a mil sim, is NBA live a mil sim, no niether is full spectrume warrior

even though there in no way related

**donk3ypunch** · June 18th, 11:28 PM

people frequently forget that paintball used to be a mil sim but those guns freak the **** out of some people and r a joke because they do nothing for performance. i am ashamed of people who play scenario because they ruin the public view on paintball

**nightstalker88** · June 19th, 07:21 AM

welll to bad it was around befoe speedball

wtf are you talking about...milsim never really came around untill the 98c came out! just because peole ran around in the woods with pump guns in the 1970s...doesnt mean its milsim....lol they didnt even look like real firearms in any way.

I would like some proof saying milsim was here before speedball....cuz i highly doubt it.

**Smitty** · June 19th, 07:55 AM

I think that it is great that people have the option to make their marker look real. I like mil-sim games and the mil-sim accessories help add to the experience. However I am more performance minded so I would rather play mil-sim games with a gun that performs better than one that just looks real and since the guns I use dont look real then I give'em a blingin' paintjob. So Id like to say this is one of those rare occasions that I dont agree with Dhill and Flatliner, Speaking of which, Flatliner, my wife is pissed that you havent rated her new gun!

By the way...this one kid (cant rmeber his name) was talking to me through AIM...and he said he knew you and played with you and your wife one time (hes like 15 i think).....i would be scared of him...he said he is gonna take a pic of your wife...then send them to me!

**Smitty** · June 19th, 08:57 AM

Dude, the diamonds are a great idea! Thats comming next! Such an awesome idea! Yeah the guy that played with us is Flatlander_14. As a matter of fact I bought Treena's gun off of him and took off all the camo-tape and painted it up. He wouldnt sell the empire reloader with it. I tried to talk him into it but he wouldnt budge cuz' he needed it for his cocker on the way.

Now where an I gonna get some fake diamonds?
