I would suggest saving a little bit, and getting an A-5. Or go with the custom pro, your choice.

i think for $200 the most bang for your buck is the regular a5. you can get one for about $219 shipped to your door.

You could get a Custom Pro and then have 40-50 bucks to buy ups with. Or better yet, save that extra money for an r/t or e-grip.

 un less u get a custom like tha. go wit the   a-5. u don't need a new hopper wit an a-5 and u don't need to get batteries for da a-5 hopper. and the a-5 looks better than the standard 98c (not tha 98c cause tha 1 is SWEET!)

Go to your local proshop they might have a refurbished A-5. Refurbeshed means they sent it in to tippmann to get fixed and they didnt want the gun back so tippmann sells them cheaper than brand new. The refurbeshed ones are just as good, though.

I'd go with an A5. You can probably find one for around $100 either online or at your local shop.

If its a new A-5 thats over his price budget, but I bet you could find a used one for much less.
A-5
E-Grip
JCS Dual Trigger
DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber

Get an A-5 or a Custom Pro. I prefer the A-5, but the Custom is more in your price range.

New to the sport altogether? Then if so, for that $200, you'll need the gun, tank, and a mask at the very least. A-5 is just a tad out of the price range. I'd recommend a Model 98 Custom. But the best way to know for sure, head out to your local paintball shop and look over the shelf. There is a vast difference between looking at pics of a paintball gun, and actually holding one in your hands. See what feels comfortable to you.

Also, you DON'T want to go cheap on your goggles. During a day's game of paintball, you'll be spending a lot of time in them. You will want good goggles that won't fog up, and will feel comfortable all through the day's games.

how about this... organize a trip to skirmish with 20 people and get an a5 for free and then use the $200 to get a barrel, egrip (or r/t), co2, and a good mask maybe.

M98C w/cyclone, used A5, or used ION, maybe even a used BKO setup

I love tig's 98.  Anyway, the 98c is one of the best beginner guns.  It's idiot proof, and bullet proof.
