i want to know what you guys think. my friend is getting into paintball and he doesnt kno much about it. so i am in charge of what he is getting. its gonna be either a 450$ 98 custom or a 450$ A5. meaning he has 450 dollars to spend. it will only be used for woodsball and rec ball. im leaning towards the 98 because of how much I know on it and what can be done to it.

for us, rec ball is just anything we decide to do when we are sick and tired of playing in the woods. sometimes we will put out barrels in a field and make up some sort of game like that and whatnot... anybody else?

you would probably be able to do more to a 98c with a 450 dollar budget
(esp. when the cost for buying the gun is included in the 450).
I would suggest the 98c because you can get one brand spankin' new for under 140$. That means you have...um...hold on...carry the two...340 dollars to trick out your friends new marker. you can do a lot with 340, and there are also a lot of cheap mods than can be done as well... |

the A-5 is a better overall gun but it eats up more gas than the 98 custom. I love my 98 custom but would have prefereed the A-5.

well its just kindof a tough decision bc they are both great guns. im still split, but more on the 98 side bc of what i know it can do with the stuff thats goin on this marker. what mods do u guys suggest for this woodsball 98. yes i know a flatline and a r/t, and hopper. if u guys had the money what would u do with this marker.

The a5 is a better gun. and if you decide to upgrade to electro the egrip is almost half the price of the ebolt. a5 |

for a 98 n hopper its gonna be bout 200 im not sure bout a new A-5 price but its somewhere around there...i would get the A-5 since u cant out shoot it n the e-grip is cheap A-5 250 (idk what it is) E-grip 150 bigshot 50 450 there u go OR 98c 140 revvy or somen like that 50 bigshot 50 e-bolt is to much so R/T is 80 then maybe a cheap HPA tank its up to u i guess...i like both |

you are right i say this every time this ? is ask. with the money you safe you can get a e bolt, egg, and a teardrop barrel (works the best on a 98 imo). |

id say get the a-5, its tons easier to upgrade and clean, and yea you
can put more things on the 98c but thats only because the a-5 doesnt
need them, just to get a 98c to the level of a stock a-5 you'd need to
buy a rocket cock, a vertical adapter, and a force feed hopper, and it
still wouldnt be as user friendly or fast as the a-5, the only thing
that the 98c has that the a-5 doesnt is the standard bottomline screw
holes on the grip, and even then its only $14 for the lapco grip adapter if you want
to get one, if you decide your friend should get the a-5 and you guys
start modding it you'll see that the a-5 isnt just a 98c with a cyclone
and for 450 you could get a really nice a-5
a-5 $229 dop 8 stage ex-chamb-$19 gta double trigger-$15 e-grip-$118 lapco bigshot-$54 32* macroline kit-$10 total-$445 (all prices are from www.countypaintball.com) Edited by rave5910 |

now im starting to go toward the A5 side, but im not too sure on the e-grip part. one of my friends i play with has an electronic gun and half the time the thing will shoot. so the other half we are sitting and waiting for the thing to work again. so instead of the e-grip, what other mods could the a-5 get for $118? i think that the r/t would be a better option for him. im just not sure that i want him to have an electronic gun bc he wouldnt know much about the whole process. this thing needs to be pretty fool-proof and reliable.

my 98 will kick your a-5's arse...
 , but in reality... for that much, he could just go on ebay and get a nice used autococker or something. if ur just really stickin to tippmann, the a-5 is probably a better choice for your friend. its much eaiser to upgrade, and after all the add-ons, its probably a lot lighter. but if you're buddy really likes to tinker with things, i'd get the 98, cuz its definitely more customizable. it depends more on the preferences of your friend, not which gun is "better" then the other

what you could do is get the r/t and add the left over money to your barrel fund and maybe get a flatline or some barrel kit EDIT: i added up all the costs and the flatline and R/T would bump it up to 470, instead he might add the money to his mask fund or something and get a profiler or invision or something like that or he could possibly get a drop for his gun, thats probably what i would do a-5 $229 dop 8 stage ex-chamb-$19 gta double trigger-$15 R/T-$78 lapco bigshot-$54 32* macroline kit-$10 lapco universal grip adapter-$14 dop pro blade drop forward-$33 Total-$452 Edited by rave5910 |

im also looking on ebay now for him. they arent tippys, but i found some pretty sweet ones. one is a WGP 2004 Outcast Graphite and it comes pretty much ready to shoot. the other is a ANS GX-4 Chaos cocker. let me know what you guys think.
