My Tippmann 98

Whats a "Tippmann 98 Customer"?

Its alright, nothing special. Not really funtional. 5/10

Wow.... Congratulations on makeing an ass of yourself.

1. The stock is pointless.

2. You have a gravity feed hopper, That direct feed is just silly with a gravity feed.

3. You have a scope... That's just plain stupidity, Unless it's for looks and looks alone.

4. Flatline... A decent barrel for range, But overall a crappy barrel, I know I have one, And an All American.

The rock cock is good, The exp is good, remote line is alright. I'd say get a new hopper, Double trigger, Do some actual Custom mods... Lose the scope.

Thanks for the exact copy of my post monkey.

And your suggestion is to put an electronic hopper and a double trigger on a gun that has a barrel that is not supposed to have paintballs shot at more then 3 balls per second. No matter what barrel you have at a long distance you will not place a paintball in the same spot each time, but if you can place paintballs in an 8" radius at 100 feet like I do and you are aiming for center of mass then a scope is not just for show. I did not make a speed ball gun, just an acurate woods ball gun that did not cost me a fortune. Oh and the direct feed is so that the hopped does not block my view not beacause I wanted to have a fast loading hopper, I don't shoot that many paintballs that it matters, and I don't spend all my parents money on a tripped out paintball gun like you have done so that I can find fault in other peoples setups. Get a life and a job loser

Alright Bud,

I have a job and pay for all of my own equipment.

"I
did not make a speed ball gun, just an acurate woods ball gun that did
not cost me a fortune"


You bought one of the top three most expensive barrels on the market, Dont give me that crap... For less then half the price you could have bought a Lapco Bigshot which WILL shoot more accuratly then your flatline.

Secondly, You talk about crap you know absolutly nothing about. The flatline is well capable of shooting on upwards of 10-13 BPS through it with out chop, Not 3 BPS...

Thirdly

"No matter what barrel you have at a long
distance you will not place a paintball in the same spot each time, but
if you can place paintballs in an 8" radius at 100 feet like I do and
you are aiming for center of mass then a scope is not just for show."

THEN WHY THE HELL DO YOU HAVE A SCOPE. You just said, that you place paintball in a 8 freaking inch grouping at 100 feet. You can do the same thing with the sights provided on your gun. Your scope... Is useless, It adds more wieght, And increases the area of gun that can be hit.

Fourth.
Stocks are ALL for looks. Or in some instances on this forum it reminds people of the feeling of a real gun and they are more comfertable with that. As for actual use they serve no purpose.


Fact of that matter is, You have'nt played under any circumstances in which you actuly experiance quality play. I'm willing to say that you have'nt played for more then a year.

I've played for 7, And I used to be just like you... Sniper wannabe, Fact is, Hit up a few big games and you'll see just how pointless that crap is, Unless it's for looks.

Further you'll find yourself WISHING you had the ability to fire more then 3 rounds a second, Because you'll get walked all over.


Your gun, IS NOT CUSTOM, and IS NOT effective in any situation other then intermidiate rec ball.


You posted your gun looking for opinions, The moment you posted you granted me permission to give my opinion and who ever else to as well, and you get upsett when people point out the flaws in your marker. For rec ball you have a decent gun, But the thing that pisses me off is you get angry when people say it's not really that effective then talk about things you know NOTHING about.

Lets see I have a Flatline barrel that has improved my distance and accuracy,(Yeah you can get 150ft of distance but can you actually hit a target at that distance with single or 2 or 3 shots? Can you actually get a break on your target at that distance? The Flatline has no more accuracy than any other barrel, and very little accuracy at range.)  an expansion chamber and remote line which had made my shots consistent and has improved my co2 performance, I installed a dove tail mount that allowed me to bolt my scope to the side of the gun, which has allowed me to zero in my scope because the plastic flatline shroud I cut off was a joke. (it is pretty much impossible to zero a scope on  a paintball marker because of the inherent inconsistantcy that arises from paint and CO2, also scopes do  nothing for a paintball marker being as your maximum effective range is around 75-100ft with the flatline. A scope with maybe 2x magnification might work, but anything over that is worthless.) I installed the lapco direct feed because it allows me to see past the hopper with my scope without my view being upstructed at all. I installed a see through elbow so that I can check the status of my paintballs. I replaced the crappy mounting screw for the flatline barrel with a brass screw and wing nut that comes off easily, and installed a rocket cock because I play allot of woods paintball and prevents me from getting dirt in the gun. And the scope i have is a short quick view that also has elevated open ring mount that allow me to see under it and a quick turn adjustment that lets me chose between 3 to 9x magnification (Why would you need any magnification at all?) But yeah the whole thing is "Not really functional" I would say thanks for the input but you obviously either didn't give the gun a second look or you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, I am guessing that it is probably the ladder. (Obviously you have not been looking around this forum at all. I am one of the most helpful members here. You obiviously have no idea what YOU are talking about.) I designed the gun to match my playing style and to be completely functional, and it works like a charm

CO2 + SPEEDBALL MARKERS =BROKEN SPEEDBll MARKERS

Big games is why you play paintball

And you make no sense at all.

Why are you talking about video games.

Anyway I should not have gotten caught up in arguments about my gun that was just stupid
I happen to think allot of my gun and I guess that's all that matters, I would never get on a forum like this and start insulting someones gun, I think that everyone that has put the time into putting together their own gun ought to have pride in it. And no Big games is not why I play and will never be, if thats your thing then good for you. I also see alot of other peoples posts on this site and they have also been ripped by the same guys posting coments on this post so I guess thats just the way it goes.

Anyhow fill your boots, and keep on posting pictures of your guns even though you might get ripped on by the so called experts of the game that are so helpful in letting you know
so gracefully what you have done wrong and how stupid you are for building a gun the way you wanted it

"Well here it is, I have been looking at postings for Tippmann guns on this site for quite a while and they have helped me allot to plan and build the gun I wanted, I figured I would share the finished product with you guys, let me know what you think, thanks for all the ideas and info I gained on the forum"

He's saying he used the site froum to get the parts for his gun, the best parts that are recommended.  give him some slack

nice gun dude , not really my style , i would suggest a fire power upgrade and a electric hopper.

Sorry to interrupt the hullibalou... but do you think you can edit your initial post, Baewolf?
Just need the thumbnails distributed to about five per row. The thread stretches out horizontally.
I tried editing your post below it, but then realized the images were the culprit. I'd edit it myself, but figured I'd just ask instead.

As for your rig. It's fine. It's tailored to your playing style and preferences, and that's all that matters. There'll always be some items that I personally wouldn't have bothered with (scope)... but that's just ME.
