Thomas17 · 05-12-2003, 04:12 PM

I have been ballin for a year or so. Im thinkin the A-5 with the R/T, or a Blackdragun. Im not really sure which one to pick. Im wondering if you can help me if you heard any major problems with either. Or which is really better.

Go with a BD compact 03 and buy upgrades for the price of a A-5 with RT
A-5 with RT - 280

vs

Compact 03 - 100
Dye Ultralight - 80
Empire Reloader - 50
Bob Long Torpedo - 50
Drop - 20

Dont forget the spyders man... they are good too...
The only bad thing I have come across with the BLK dragun.. and thats the sear... it gets messed up fast..... you have to grind down a spyder sear... and replace the M3 sear with it. At least that was the fix it that M3 advised... dont know if they've fixed that or not. Other than that.. the maker rocks!

Thanks, Spyders are good, but everyone has one, i want to get something that is more scarce.

Its really your preference. Do you just want a solid blowback with a good hopper feeding system,a good constant rate of fire, good customer service, but yet do you wanna cough up the $$$ for one? Or do you want a cheap, electronic gun that you can upgrade and has an insane rate of fire? It depends on what you like, what kinda of ball do you play most of the time?

I was plannin to spend 300 or below on just the gun. And then putting on upgrades. I usually shoot Pmi's.

camoman5000 · 05-18-2003, 05:46 PM

do you play woods or speedball?

Thomas17 · 05-19-2003, 03:43 PM

speedball

MuffinMan14 · 05-19-2003, 03:52 PM

get the BD then.

ya. the a-5 has this funky little piston assembly on the right side of the gun. it's just kinda out in the open and i bet it gets in the way, im not sure though cause ive never used one...here is a site that has an ok picture of what im talking about:

Get the BD for speedball. I also believe that the A5 is too complex. The more parts there are, the more parts there are to break. You could get a dragun or save 15 and get an esprit. Either way, but then you could put some nice mods on it:
Gun 100
Cp One piece/J&J/Progressive: $40
Reloader: $45
BL Torp: $50
LP mods (drill VA, Mod Bolt, new valve: $25)

In my opinion, that's better than the A-5

get a bko if u have $300 bucks

Darth Raider · 07-15-2003, 11:21 AM

Get a cheap Autococker or a Rainmaker

Kowz_76 · 07-16-2003, 06:00 AM

Maybe he doesn't want a higher end gun, but rather likes the feel of a BD better than a BKO, Cocker or Rainmaker

Sc0tTy · 07-16-2003, 10:15 AM

or maybe he just wants his own little squirrel to be his friend and cuddle with him?

I would run from the A-5.

Get a Spyder or clone(Black Dragun)

but if u have 300 to spend get a BKO for 260

DireWolf · 08-13-2003, 06:11 PM

A-5 with flatline.

I have a BD Sniper thats tricked out and I am seriously looking at puting the sniper as a backup and buying an A-5, just a better gun IMO. The thing is a tank, it takes alot to break one. Also if you start playing woodsball, everyone runs from flatline barrels :-)

BOB_IS_COOL · 08-14-2003, 06:38 AM

I would say the A-5. Now, I may be a bias person because I have had a Dragun for a Year and after spending $50, two shipments 2 M3 and never a game when it didn't stop working on the 2nd or 3rd game.

Or just get and E-spyder.
