you probably dont need a boomstick for a custom sell it and keep the money and get a j/j or something like that for half the cost then use the money to upgrade....but if you must than yes i think it does i have a 16 inch ultralite on my trix and it is a huge dfference

The a-5 is far more than a 98c with a cyclone, I own a 98c and a-5 and there are many differences in the two, the a-5 is much easier to customize, and it is a completely different world when it comes to cleaning and field stripping. Use the a-5 before making up your mind and dont listen to hype.

you should just stick with the 98c, i have one and havent had a problem with it since i bought it, plus the a-5 is somethin like $100 more, just for a cyclone! you could probably get the same results with a electric hopper on yur 98c.

You dont need a $1500 marker to be the best.

The a-5 is more like a 98c that already has all of this stuff. Thats right kiddies, to get an electro hopper that can feed as fast as a cyclone you'll have to dish out about $140 for it.

the silenced sear spring mod



EDIT: I forgot to mention that all of these things will add up to almost $200 and you'll have to cut your gun to do one of the mods.

all i want to know is why do people buy like 16 inch barrels for speedbal, is it to move the bunker a bit or what?

It's called a few different things, I call it bunker bending. It's when you push the side of your barrel into the bunker so less of your gun sticks out.
