I'm thinking of buying another gun. I was wondering what you guys thought of it.

click on markers then the X-5.

Feel free to suggest other guns as well but try to stay at or below $500.

Thanks

Why not just get a Cocker? You can get a really good one for under $500.

ion>that
looking new? get ion, or promaster
looking used? get an aced angel, pre-2k5 style timmy, or aced matrix, all well within your budget

maybe he wants all mech?
the x-5 is one sick mech marker. You can actually walk that thing...with some force...

I'd suggest the Promaster if you want elcetro. I'd suggest a RT ULR custom from AGD if you want mech. And who knows what you coulf find used for $500.

As far as cockers go... ANS is near the bottom of the totem pole. You'd do much better elsewhere.

haha yeah, thats what i was actually thinking.
i still like my little drop more than a unimount, but i don't think too many people like huge drops the one that ans is using.

it does make the marker look a little cooler though.

As far as anything paintball related goes lol. Always Needs Service can never seem to make anything that lasts more than a day. They must have taught System X everything they know.

I agree, its whats functional that does matter, and having a rail rather than a drop will make you have better form and play better. You will get used to the feel aftera few games, and it will benefit your play

"funtional" is a subjective term... I have always used a drop, adn will probably always have some form of drop on my guns. Fuctional is what works... and for each player that is going to be different.

being right now the subject is slightly drops i have somthing to say about drops i myself like drops but i have recently figured out that it can at some times be difficult to tuck in while using a drop thus making u an eiser target which will get u lit up like a x-mas tree easier
then again i use a drop but am planing on no longer using it
