I'm trying to find a quiet gun for woodsball and I'm trying to decide between the A-5 and the 98c, which one is quieter?

Just throw on a JJ ceramic, that should quiet it down. A-5 is pretty loud though.

Yep - nothing like a big fat hunk o' metal banging back and forth inside a metal cage to make a ruckus.

Tippmanns are loud - learn to love it.

If you do want to quiet the gun, however, the LP kit will help signficantly.  A SP or Dye barrel can help as well, but most of the noise still comes from the clanging metal.

St!ffis are also quiet barrels, but don't get your hopes up.  If you really want a quiet gun, buy a Matrix.  Tippmanns will always be loud, no matter what you do to them.

the person that you're shooting @ doesn'know where you are shooting from, so it's a good advantage.

Rocket Cocker II helps on the sound, and a barrel that has lots of pores might do the trick too.  If you have a 98C, you can get a Low Pressure system. That might help out too.
