I am going to start tournament play and I dont know if I should get the E-Bolt for my 98 custom or I was thinking of buying a Smart Parts Impulse or another type of tournament grade gun.

An impulse is an ok buy if you plan on keeping it and you know what to do with it.  The resale value on them are horrible and you have to keep good care of them, but they are good guns.

If you got the money, buy the Impulse. Just remember you'll need stuff like a nitro tank and a fast hopper (unless you already have these).

Yeah, if you don't have more than $500, stick with the Tippmann. What upgrades do you already have for it?

Good call. Save most of it for paint . Drop forwards are nice and can be relatively cheap.

Both of mine are made by Psycho Ballistics, I think. They aren''t too bad, they serve their purpose. Get one that is relatively long; what I mean is not one of those really short ones that only move it forward less than 2-3 inches. Check out ones in Tippmann's shop to get a relative idea, but don't buy one from Tippmann, their prices are steep.

the whole shorter trig pull doesnt work(tried it)it hits the metal
part on the trig and doest allow the sear to hold ENOUGH of the
hammer to hold from shooting single shots...actually if you do
the "upgrade"you wont even have to touch the trig to have it
shoot its an alive full auto machine, its a bad idea!

E-BOLT!!!!

Edit: As long as you keep the E-bolt on Semi-Auto, or Full-Auto(If your field Allows it) then the E-bolt is perfectly legal.
