The reason I created this blog is the fact that after several hours of internet search I couldnt find a kit or shroud that could turn my A5 to an HK Mp 5 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler_&_Koch_MP5). This is quite bizzare because the initial design of the A5 is very close to the mp5 family especially to the model Mp5K (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MP3K_ImgID1.jpg).
Anybody who has searced for mp5 shrouds on the internet must have came into the mp5-sd5 shroud (http://shop.specialopspaintball.com/special-ops-a-5-mp5-sd-shorty-shroud.html) which in my opinion is a good gadget but wont satisfy the mp5 lovers!
In contrast there is a variety of other mp5 accesories such as stocks (http://www.opsgear.com/Tippmann-A5-Sliding-Stock-MP5-p/mi-stock-mp5-slide-a5.htm , http://www.opsgear.com/Tippmann-A5-MP5-PDW-style-Folding-Stock-p/tts-stock-fold-mp5pdw-a5.htm) gas throu magazine kits (http://www.opsgear.com/Tippmann-A5-MP5-Gas-Thru-MAG-p/tts-a5-gas-thru-mag-mp5.htm) and scopes that are identical with those of the real mp5.
The only accesory that I have found as a mp5 shroud is the following : http://www.extremesportsandhobbies.com/a5mp5handguard.html
and some modificated X7 mp5 shrouds:
In my opinion I believe that somebody has to create an mp5 shroud for the tippmann A5. It is a very beautiful and famous gun and a lot of paintballers would like it. Mag kits and stocks exist already only the shroud is missing! From this blog I would like to unite the mp5 fans and ask some companies to consider about costructing an mp5 shroud. I would like to hear other A5 operators opinions.
Reading the above article, I have written three years ago! Most of the links are now dead, but I still have that Tippmann A5, although I havent played paintball for some time as I was in the military. Anyway the A5 was never transformed to a HK MP5 mod, apart from the gas-through Mp5 mag kit and the MP5K-PDW collapsible butstock. As a barrel I used the APEX AK-47 barrel. I may post an image of it later.
