It does.

And Baroque-Urban, just a helpful hint here, but go back and read the last 5 pages or so. There's probably 20 threads in those pages alone by people asking "what is the best hopper?" "what is the best barrel"? "what should I put on my Tippmann"?. You'll find a lot of the information you're asking already answered in previous threads.

Low price upgrades:  Bigshot or Teardrop barrel, DOP Drop Forward, Shockfly bolt, Double trigger, DOP X-core Chamber (needs vert. adapter.).  New tubing and elbows are in order.  Same deal with loctite or Teflon tape.

This'll give you alot of help for around 120 dogs($). 

Go to Countypaintball.com, Actionvillage.com, or 888paintball.com for these items

Otherwise Sky is tha limit for a unlimited budget.

Gun Info: 98C E-Pro ACT
14in Stiffi
Offset Mount
RedDot 45mmScope
Shocktech ShockFlyBolt
RocketCock II
Cyclone Feed
Dog Leg
All TechT Cyclone upgrades


4 guns and counting!!

Dont go crazy upgrading your gun so much. Theres really not much you need, it already preforms very well.

J&J Ceramic or Lapco Bigshot are your best average barrel choices.

12v Veiwloader Revolutions are great hoppers, cheap too.

Double triggers are kind of pointless, especialy if your on a budget.

RTs are pretty cheap and really increase your firepower.

DONT GET NEW INTERNAL PARTS.

That is not true at all. Barrel length is only preferance. Over 14in you loose velocity because of it. Teardrops arnt bad, but I suggest the BigShot. The length is up to you. I personaly like 12in better, 14in seems just a bit awkward.

I would just start off with a new barrel, hopper and maybe 2x trigger. Don't go overboard yet though because if you decide that you like your 98c with just a barrel and 2x trigger and you already bought another $200 in ups then you just wasted $ that's not going to improve you game mcuh.
