which gun is the best for a newbie

try to search but anyway:

the 98c is a fairly old gun.  it is a good gun for new players who play in the woods and who are on a tight budget.  there are a ton of upgrades out there if someday u want to make it better.

the a-5 is fairly similar to the 98c but it is much newer technology and comes with the cyclone feeder.  It is a better gun than the 98c but costs a bit more.  its great for woodsball.

if ur into speedball, i would consider an electric spyder.  the spyder imagine or pilot are great guns for their prices (an imagine is a lil over $100).  My friend has an imagine and i like it a lot.  and, if u really want to, you can add a trigger stop and make it fairly easy to walk.

so in conclusion, dont get a 98c.  if u play in the woods more, get an a-5 and if u play speedball more, look at a very cheap electric gun.

There isn't anything wrong with the 98c, and after a few upgrades it works just fine for speedball.  The e piranhas aren't bad guns, but I like a gun with more available upgrades. If you are willing to settle for something used, you can get a higher quality, or somewhat upgraded gun for a good price.
