Assuming there both using the same barrel, and both have the cyclone feed. is there any real diffreance? is the a-5 any faster or more accurate?

performance wise I dont think you wold see any difference but i do think that the 98c would be lighter. and the A-5 would be field strippable So they're pretty much even. if you want lighter than use 98c. if you want to be able t take the gun apart fast use the A-5

i'm thinkin 98c.  umm, why, idk, but my a-5's cyclone doesn't feed as fast as the halo b. I really don't think there's much difference.

98% of ion owners think ions are better than any high end gun. If you would like to bonus ball these idiots put this in your sig.

In the end, it all comes down to personal preference though.

Since they both use the same (well, the sear is slightly different) internals, they're pretty much the same gun, just different shells. So if you're going the cyclone route, it's really up to you. HOWEVER, if you decided you don't want the cyclone, or want to go faster than 17bps, you're limited with the A-5, while with the 98 you can put a Halo on there, and center feed. A few more options with the 98.
