Yeah DOP who used to make stuff for psychoballistics make a plastic one that comes with a nice trigger guard and all for like $15 or $20. I know somebody (maybe J&J?) makes a full aluminum double trigger frame that you can bolt right on (or slide on as there are no standard bolts there). Specops paintball makes a ton of cool stuff for the A-5. Don't let anyone tell you the A-5 is a bad marker. For what it is, it totally rocks. :D

They're not junk. They're the toughest gun on the planet.

A5's are a good gun most of us just love our mags more. :cheers:

The only complaint I have about A5's are the crappy feed system. They make it out of the same plastic that the BE revis were made from or something. It is not uncommon at all to see the feed "gear/trigger/thingy" (whatever) break first time out.

When they break down and decide to come out with a metal one, add an RT and you are in like Flynn.

i like the hopper shape on the a-5, its so cool. If anyone makes a force feed hopper the shape of the cyclone hopper (without the widemouth of course) I'd buy it in a heartbeat. And anyways, a-5's are some sweet guns, just too long.

The A-5 hopper just looks like a Riccochet to me (I know it's not, because of the feed neck.) But it still looks like one.

they look nothing like the richochet hoppers







but richochet did make a hopper for the a-5 to get rid of the big flat spot on the front!!

that is a ricochet hopper, it is the ricochet A-5, made specically for the A-5. it is not he stock hopper if that is what you are thinking. but it is a very good idea for an upgrade.

That's nuts.

It looks just like a Richochet because it is. I've got one and the only real difference in shape is at the bottom where the motor, feed neck, and betteries would be.

its the ricochet r-5, not the a-5. Just a little correction i thought you should know. But i didn't mean the ricochet r-5, i meant the stock a-5 cyclone hopper. It just looks cool, but i wonder if it would look good if the mouth wasn't meant for 5 paintballs...

The HUGE flat front of the stock hopper is a bit of a problem at times though. You do get some non-breaking deflection with other loaders specialy at long ranges like in woods ball. The front of the stock loader will basicly always give you a break. I do like the shape other than that.

never thought of it that way...that's a very good point. Ehh, i still like the shape!

This is a nice one for the A-5 e-frame:

It's not really cheap but my friends got one and it really helps you max out the 13bps (or something) cap.
