ill take a shot at this one,

hes saying, why are autocockers,angels, all high end guns better(speed-wise?) than his 98 or a-5

to put it simply,
theyre faster, lighter/smaller(sometimes) and put together- i mean by like design, closed bolt etc...

No he asked why are they more accurate, i think..?

Basically, the stock barrels on tippmann suck.  Get a better barrel, i suggest a Lapco bigshot or a J&J Ceramic.  Basically high end markers come with much better barrels.

Barrel, consistancy, paint.  Many variables come into play.  Along with, if you suck at aiming you arent going to hit anything.

Crude, but correct.

it might seem like that cuz the guys with those guns are shooting so much     Recoil can take ur shot off since the tippmann hammer is a heavy ass lump of steel.  If you really want to be as accurate as the high end guns like that, you will need nitro plus a reg or double regs (they all have it), a better barrel (they have those too), and use GOOD paint sized to your bore (most of the guys with high end guns use this too)
Setup:
Tippmann98c
Silver Vein powdercoat
Palmer's male stab
Ported elbow
Double trigger with stop
Lapco bigshot
Trigger slop mod
ricochet ak

basically top of the line guns come with top of the line barrels - another factor is that the paint to barrel match is perfect b/c of barrel kits.  Also, autocockers have closed bolts which are incredibly accurate.  Ur a-5 isnt as accurate because of the design and the barrel but it isnt meant to compete with the $1500 guns.

About recoil, that has a very minimal effect unless you can't pick up a banana.  I mean, come on.  Its a paintball marker.  I can hit just as much with my hunting rifle as with my paintball marker (Well, you know what i mean).
