Whats better??

Whats better tippman 98 or tippman A-5? My cousin says A-5 is more accurate is that true??

They shoot the same in terms of accuracy. The choic is all personal preference.

They are about the same accuracy.  98 is easier to clean externally, but the field strip on the A5 is cool.

i like the 98 better

hey guys i'm new to this forum.

Any how I prefer the A-5 because it has the faster shooting capabilities.

I have a 98, But my cuzz has A5. I like mine so far...... I guess.

Alright, I own a M98C along with an A5RT, and my opinions/experiences are these:

-The Cyclone has absolutely never failed me! I feel like it is the bomb and worth the $100 price difference alone.
-The A5 and M98C have basically the same air efficiency.
-The A5 weighs about .5# more stock, but that's including an awesome hopper! To make the M98C able to feed as fast as an A5, you would need to add a motorized hopper which will take away that initial .5 pound advantage...when equipped to shoot fast, the A5 is actually lighter than the M98C by a considerable bit. Also, the Cyclone holds over 200 rounds, doesn't make any noise, doesn't require batteries, and can be capped at 30 rounds....pretty sweet if you ask me.
-The A5's enclosed cocking, interchangable barrel threads, and quick-stripping/modular construction along with the Cyclone make it a much better value than the M98C...it even includes a built-in vertical adapter which is an extra $20 for a M98C!

The M98C's advantages are that you can have your choice in hoppers/warp feed, there's an E-Bolt available, the quick-release elbow makes it easier to clean the barrel if you get a break, but that's really about all I can think of.

The A5 is a better stock gun and a much better value than a M98C...you get a LOT for those extra $100.

Also, stock, both guns fire the same speed...the triggers are basically the same. If anything, the M98C I got was more accurate stock. The A5's stock barrel is worse than the M98C's, IME.

But no gun is inherrantly more accurate than any other, the A5 and M98C are the same in accuracy.

To sum it up, the A5 and M98C are great guns but the A5 is the better value and better gun to grow with...it's the evolution of the Tippmann guns and is a lot more practical than a M98C.

You can upgrade the M98C to do most the things the A5 can't, but it's gonna cost you more money than just buying the A5 and you're still never gonna be able to get a Cyclone, quick-strip pins, and interchangable barrel threading.

One last thing, I do like M98 threading! I use the adapter on my A5...I don't even own an A5-threaded barrel! I've heard people dissing the M98 threads, but I've never had a problem and feel it's a good design...better than those thin threads on the A5ProCarb.

^Dang, that would have helped before i typed all that out! LMAO

No problem, it was my fault...I do add a couple of my own little points in there anyways, so it's not a total waste of time.

SO there are both good guns, but its to ones own openion...right?
