I have been playing Paintball for a little while, but I feel that I know more than some other players I have met.  I feel that Tippmann is the best gun that you can use for recreational play, and some tournament.  My friend let me use his Spyder Imagine S, and I did enjoy it, but the feel was nothing like my Tippmann 98.  This is going to sound pretty stupid, but I'm sure most of you have either played or seen Halo.  Don't you think that the Tippmann 98 looks similar to the Assault Rifle?  I also think that the 98 looks like the German MP40 of WWII fame.  Both of these guns have straps on them.  Why not make a strap for the 98?  I noticed that the Pro/Carbine has one.  I'm not weak or anyting, but hauling a gun of any weight for long periods of time is draining whether you notice it or not.  Your arms feel sluggish and the overall benefit of a strap could reduce fatigue.  The majority of the weight would be distributed on the shoulders and the back.  Now, a paintball gun weighs around 12 pounds when fully equipped.  Imagine only holding 2 pounds in your hands... Extreme manueverability and "swinging" techniques could be used.  For those of you who have fired a rifle, you know the advantages of a strap.  Though rifles tend to weight A LOT more than paintball guns, you can still see a difference...  Please, Tippmann, Make a strap for the 98!  (I dont see any on your site)

You can just go to walmart and buy one. I bought one fron there that was the cheapest one. It tied on so you didn't have to put holes in the gun. It works great. And about Halo i think the assult rifle reminds me more of the A5 because of the closed bolt and the rof. Waiting for Halo 2... lol

Really, I was thinking that the Tippmann 98 looked like the Thompson, meh whatever.

As for the strap you can make one and buy one, search the google, it be on there.

Yeah the 98c does look like the gun in Halo but, theres no way that it resembles a German MP40 or the Thompson....the 98c is actually based on the M16/M4 and its variants.
Do not steal....the government hates competition!

How the hell do you think the 98 looks like the assault rifle in HALO. I see no simularities. If anything it looks like the smg in HALO 2.
