A-5 vs. 98 Custom

Hello All,

I am new to the Tippmann Forums, as well as new to the Tippman Markers themselves.  Ive always used Spyder markers and they have served me will over the past couple of years, but a friend of mine had just gotten a 98-custom (platinum edition), w/ the Cycolne Feeder, and Response Trigger, and after trying it out yesterday I feel immeditily in love with it.

I would like to look into a similar setup, and looking through various websites (mainly Actionvillage and Zypherpaintball), ive come accross the A-5 and the 98 custom like my friends.

Does anyone have a suggestion on which one I should purchase?
Again I would like the same setup (cyclone feeder, and response trigger), but which ever I do purchase I would like it to be as durable as possible.

Thank you in Advance,
LawMaker

Awesome, then he A-5 it is, and all I would need to get is the Response Trigger.

Does this seem like a good deal:

Also note, i have a coupon code for 5% off, so it would only cost $217.55

Thanks again for the help/advice,
LawMaker

One last question.

Can the A-5 get a double trigger put on?  I know my cousin has that double trigger on his 98. Is it able to be put on A-5 also?

Thanks again for the help.

I never said they both wern't tippmann Im not stupid. But the A-5 is way better in my opinion.

Not once did I say you were stupid, I simply pointed out that several of your statements were false.

  This may be true, but please support it with factual statements, not baseless claims. I personally like the styling of the A-5 better myself as IMO it lends itself better to milsim. However, performance wise, it is nearly identical to the 98. Some would argue the 98 is actually more versatile since you can put an electronic hopper on it vs a cyclone. The benefit being that when you inevitably upgrade to a better marker, you can take the hopper with you. The cylcone can only be used with a Tippmann.

Whatever. I play I don't study.

Great I'll tell my Math teacher to build me a ufo with some "factual" alien's from outer space. lol

Yeah considering your love for star wars. It fits you pretty good.

Actually, I do quite enjoy the StarWars movies, however, it has little relevance to my choice in Avatars. I simply found it humorous. Much more so than your lame attempts to insult me. If that's the best you can do, perhaps, you should crack a book every so often.
