A5 sniper

If you're actually trying to be a "sniper" get the 98 because it doesn't have a firepower upgrade built in. Otherwise get the A-5.

a 98 sniper will do fine if you are sharpshooting(I don't consider it sniping because I think a scope makes it a sniper and paintball guns don' shoot far enough.)
Anyway, a 98 will do almost everything an A-5 will do except rapid fire. Also it is cheaper.
20% of people understand percents and 94% don't, so keep them out of sigs

I say an A-5 because it can shoot just as far as an 98 except it can back you up if you need some full auto action!
my setup:
Ion
CP trigger
SP Q-lock feedneck
Check-it unimount 2
14" AA barrel

Ok, if you are serious about paintball, get the A-5.  It is better by far in so many ways.  One, if you get in a tite situation, the A-5's firepower will get you out of it.  Secondly, It WILL NOT CHOP BALLS at all almost, which will eliminate diminished accuracy and range do to a gunked up gun. Lastly, A-5 has better customization option then the 98C.  If you want to take a look at all the great options, go to www.specopspaintball.com  Everything you need is there.  Happy hunting!

I have the 98 custom, but you should get the A-5, it does have more upgrades than the 98 custom, which is nice incase you decide not to play as a sniper.

I have seen a A-5 Flatline on a 98 custom.
