	I ordered a 98 C. off ebay and the guy is being a moron (was about to say something else but remember to censor myself ^_^) If you go from ebay, remember to check what other people have said about the seller, and if there isn't much at all, if anything.. be very careful and what not.

	If you haven't already, try them both out first, if possible. I don't just mean hold them or dry-fire them at a shop, I mean actually play with them. For some reason, I prefer the stock 98 over the stock A-5, but that's just me.

	i say go 98 custom. if you want to order it from ebay, make shure it is the real thing and isnt just a picture of the gun. also check the feedback and just make sure that 99% of the people say that the seller is good and reliable. i also dont like the a-5 because you can buy an electric hopper and mount it withought some modification. the a-5 and 98 custom both have about the same gas effieciency. they both have about the same number of upgrades you can buy. so if you only play speedball i would go with a 98 custom because of the smaller profile just make sure you buy some upgrades like the ebolt, new barrel, nitro, and an electric hopper. a-5s are pretty good for speedball but not as good as 98c in my mind. for woodsball both own. for really cool looks stock, go with the a-5, for a kinda duller look go with the 98 custom, either way both rule the field in woodsball. my pic go 98 custom, its 80 bucks cheaper at dunhams, and you can upgrade it the same. good luck

	well im going to be playing woodsball more than speedball. And i know that both guns rock in both. The question is the one which on has that small slight advantge? If i get the 98 custom i will prbably get the flatline for it and the R/T. probably same for the A-5. But for the A-5 should i get the e-grip instead of the R/T??? And probably get nitro ASAP. i think that should be my next upgrade after those right???? Edited by Chaos_Lord

	im the proud owner of an A5. some of my other team members have 98c's jimmys gun is set up as a 98 sniper and bobbys is nice sound activated hopper r/t carbon fiber barrle and a nice drop forward the guns i have both fired but im going to stick to the a-5 because its got alot of power and can be really fast with the e-grip and cyclone hopper system
	Come get some! baby ITs just me and the a-5!!!!!!!!! and the rest of the dirty moe possie

	So in your first post you tell me you love your A-5 but the 98 custom is still a good marker. Now in your second post i think you are trying to say that there doesnt need to be a lot of A-5 competition out there and i should decide which gun ot get by which one looks better. Not to be mean or anyhting cause i know you are trying to help but how good my gun looks isnt gonna matter in the game is it? But back ot the A-5 competition thing. Do u mean you just dont want anybody other than yourself to have a an A-5?

	Personally, I have found the 98 Custom to be far more reliable than my A-5. Sucks, but it's true ...

	DONT LISTEN TO THE 98 FAMILY, THE A5 COSTS MORE BECAUSE IT HAS BETTER QUALITY. THE CYCLONE SYSTEM ALMOST NEVER BREAKS A BALL. YOU CAN SHOOT AS FAST AS YOU WANT AND THE HOPPER WILL STILL BE FEEDING BALLS TO KEEP UP. THE A5 IS WAY BETTER IN MY MIND. I MEAN YEAH, THE 98 ISNT A BAD GUN FOR A BEGGINNER BUT IF YOU WANT TO ROLL WITH THE BIG BOYS GET THE A5. OR YOU COULD BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE AND JUMP ON THE 98 BANDWAGON.

	Both are great. I own a 98c, but a friend owns an A5. I suggest going to a field and trying each out. Then decide. As far as buying from E-bay I haven't tried that. The only sure way is to get it straight from a store or from a trusted web site like action village, tippmann, etc.
