B-5 modification for the A-5

Feels nice, weight is not bad, fires fast (For a stock a-5) and did I mention it feels nice? Profile of a speedball gun, reliability of an A-5. Unlike my old gun which had an additional stock which added to the guns length and weight, this mod puts almost the entire gun into the safety of your body. No long barrel or big hopper to catch a lucky shot. Although I had doubts about getting an Egrip, its water resistant and in 5 games no chops or equipment problems while playing. this mod requires no major cutting to your a-5! You can put it in the B-5 mod then take it out and put it to its original state without any drawbacks.
Unlike my old gun that required re-adjusting in some situations, B-5 has no need; even if you say... >by accident< Roll down a hill, hit a tree, roll more, fall, get up, trip and fall into the stream at beavertown then crawl to the nearest cover. its still feels adjusted perfectly however, where ever, and what ever you have to shoot.
2 downsides that get taking used to.
1: I like hitting the manual feed on my cyclone to check if I'm low on paint without opening my hopper and possibly giving myself away, I can no longer do that with my index finger. But before you ask, reloading in a flash is not a problem!
2 can be considered a down or upside. There are upgrades to for hundreds of different foregrips, stock B-5 doesnt have one. Feels weird, if you like having a foregrip go buy one. But being able to operate efficently and accuratly with one hand is a nice change. (Some people already can and some can't. before I couldn't)
A-5: $200.00
B-5: $350.00
Having people think you don't have a gun in your hands: Priceless.
Yukoo rates 9 out of 10.
On a side note about my solenoid problems, they test EVERY B-5 before it ships. When you open your B-5 you get a hand written note by the guy who tested and shipped it saying thanks for your order. Somehow durring the time they tested and shpped it and by the time it got to me the board died some how. I emailed them about it and they got back to me within 30mins (I emailed them at 3AM, idk wtf they were doing up at that ungodly hour.) They paided for shipping both ways and replaced the board.
ICP.com's customer service: 10 out of 10!! they truely wanted me to be happy and went above and beyond. Even though its ovious I screwed something up somehow.
