alright, i know i had another post stating that i was getting the a-5, well im starting to think differently, i need as many oppinoions as possible, which gun would be better, the 98c or the a-5? but if u do state which gun u like better, can u give me some perks so i can compare the 2? for example--like mannuverability through forests (im playing woosball) i still have some time 2 decide, cause i dont have all of the money yet, thanks alot!!!!!!

I have a 98C that I use for my woods/senario gun. I love my 98C. It's slightly smaller and lighter, but after you get a firepower upgrade, revy, and the rest of the ups, it would honestly be cheaper to get the A-5 and a barrel for woodsball only. The 98C and pro can and will make for a better speedball and all around gun if you have to stay inexpensive. I ended up getting a dedicated speedball gun anyway. Just my two cents. Hope it helps.

a-5 rocks hard but so does the 98, a-5 has more upgrades and comes stock with a good hopper (though you could take off cyclone and get an even better hopper) but the 98 is already set for those really good hoppers.  The 98's e bolt would be harder to find but if you got a custom pro you could just get an e grip.  Now if you dont want fire power upgrades i dont know which to reccomend, probably the 98 since you wont need as much.  Just get what you think will be better, if you have more questons im here alot when im done with homework.  Pm me or just post here.

ok yea, ive been reading some reviews , and they all say that the a-5 is really good for woodsball, cause its ruggedness or soem junk like that, ok this is off topic, but whats scenario ??? everyione keeps saying it and i have nop clue what it is, i know speedball its when ur urnning around those big inflated things, and its liek really close, woodsball is like war, thats about it, alright,but what i like about the a-5 is that u can strip it in like a minute, and again when i was looking on at a bunch of sites and they said the cyclone feed like never failed in 100 shots, so thats what m thinking, im not planning on ordering anything off of sites cause i dont wanna get like uber serious, im just gonna get stuff from my local shop, and also do u guys think that a drop forward would be a good idea, cause i sw a picture with a tank on it and its like massive

Yes, you can use any gun for speedball. As for you I'd get the A-5.

Go with the A-5. I have both, and I like my A-5 more than the 98, for some reason it just feels alot more powerful.

A-5 will officially make you bun nuh nuh nuh nah, bad to the bone....lol

Now i rattle this off alot to people and some people in here may have heard me say this.  The gun doesn't make the player, the player makes the gun.  You could be the best playe rin the world and be using a brass eagle sting ray and still wipe out a bunch of newer players with dm5s.  So just remember that, if your good no matter what gun you have you will do well, granted with better guns you will do better.  Hope i was of any help, and you asked what scenario was.

Scenario games can go on for a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, long time or a really short time.  They are point based where it doesnt matter about eliminations as much as how well you fit with the scenario.  Like everyone is pretty much assigned a character and given a story line and you have to remember whos who or what not.  You decide if it would be best to kill somebody or take them hostage, and a bunch of fun stuff like that, ive never played scenario yet because i dont have a scenario gun yet, but in  april my friends and i are gonna try a bunch out (hopefully, if the 1 keeps playing and doesnt completely let runescape (online game) take over his life like hes been doing)

a scenario gun is a gun with a scenario kit if that makes sense.  A scenario kit is what i have in my avatar, is a g36c kit.  Some scenario games require you to have certain types of scenario that would fall under spec ops or assault most likely.  Some may require you to be like guns from a certain time like ak-47s or something.  I dont need a different gun because many kits are offered for the a-5 and 98 both, i like to use opsgear to look, i have known about them for a while and they are legit.  I havent ordered from them yet but they sound really cool.  and about runescape i quit because it started to get boring lol, and i was wasting my money on membership.

y would u get an a-5 when the only advantages it has over the 98c is the cyclone and the e-grip. because u can buy a cyclone for the 98custom now and i think the e grip is coming out soon. id say get the 98c it will make u happy. and i play woods to i have a flatline on mine, the a5 is such a gas hog with the cyclone.

ahahah well heres y i want the a-5, cause u have to like special order it from somewhere right, i lkive in canada so im not gonna get it forllike another few years, and im not that good with installing those kind of things, so ii decided to get that, and like i dont mind the gravity feed, but just all these stories of how the chop all the balls make me worry, and gor the c02 part, im getting a 20 oz tank so i dont really mind, and ill prolly carry a few little like 5 zoz c02s with me, like not to dis you or anything, but thats my way of thinking, but thatnks alot for the help, o yea, and the shop im going ot buy my gun at has none in stock at the moment, and its like the cheapest place, so yeabut im still gonna think about it, but im going into high school and i dont want to wait for like 2 years for th cyclone feed to come out cause im having a paintballing unit at my school,
