I'd stick with genuine Tippmann guns myself. Of course, I'd personally go for a 98C myself, but if it's between the A5 and Ben Tippmann gun, I'd go with the A-5.

  I thot Ben Tippmann desighed the A5? IF so the Ben Tippmann guns probly preform like tippmanns but I COULD BE WRONG, they look like crap tho, and the A5 has the cyclone and is way more upgradable so  id say A5.

I own an A5 so I can say from experience that it's a good gun but I have no experience with BT stuff at the moment. They seem to be based off the design of the A5 though so they shouldn't be too far from it in terms of performance. I'm not sure about upgrades though, they might share upgrades or they might not. I can only recommend the A5 but you can give BT a try if you want.

thought Ben Tippmann and Tippmann Pneumatics are, as clearly stated by both, different companys, their markers use a lot of the same parts IE" the BT-16 uses an A-5 valve " they are both highly upgradeable and i would recomend either but the A-5 is the best for the money because of the cyclone feed

about the pbreview.com thing, its a website that gives reviews of  paintball products. we americans (and a few canadians) are lazy people, so we just suggust going to pbreview and getting the info on your own. no big deal.
