A-5 is better all the way for more reasons than I am about to mention...

  • Cyclone feed system
  • Ajustable forgrip
  • Flatline is easier to install than on 98 custom or being retro-ed
  • fully enclosed bolt
  • field stripping is so easy, (you push out four pins and screw off the barrell)
  • Personally off of stock the gun is really good with just a few changes, (flatline, e-grip,)
  • no spending on autofeed hopper

PS welcome to the sport of paintball, and if this is your first gun, if you have the money, go for the A-5, but if you are on a more limited budget get a 98custom or pro carbine, both have ups and downs.

             HAVE FUN, ANY GUN IS BETTER THAN NO GUN !!!!! 

if you have a chance to hold those guns above, go to a store and just put them to your shoulder and see which you like best, but also look at their stats,

welcome to the sport for one... if you need anything just pm.....now back to your topic.. i say tippmann 98 custom...(i dont like the feel of the a-5) it a GREAT starting gun that what i had..and i still have it..i am selling it in a day though..and who i say the tippamnn 98 becuase it is reliable....nothin really to break it is a "tank"..once you feel the need to upgrade you have a HUGE section to up grade to....more fire power...rt e-bolt. almost all barrle are made for it, you can get stocks ect... but go to your proshop and hold both the marker a-5 and 98 custom and see what you like better

the 98c or the a-5 is a great marker to start out with. they are both very durable and can be upgraded fairly easily later. the a-5 cost a little more, but you get what you pay for. the pro-carbine is ok to start out with. a friend has one and he loves it. the only down side is that it is harder to find upgrades.

I've owned both(not very long but I have) I had a E-a5, and a Rt-98c there both OKAY guns but a Pro/Carbine can do just as good as the other 2 with 1/2 as many upgrades. All a Pro/Carbine needs is a new barrel, and possibly a new trigger spring and it can compete with most any mechanical Blow-Back Gun.
