I don't know about you, but I wear gloves in the winter.

Dfly is correct. The frame is pretty similar to the MP5K line by H&K. For a better MP5 look though, you want to look at the Ariakon Sim-5N

I like the look accept, it doesn't match the aim I want my gun to look like. Personally I think I should have gotten the A-5 because it looks more like an assault rifle body. The Tippmann 98C looks more like a pistol if you look close at the form. Thats the main point why I am both disapointed in the shape and myself for choosing 98c when the A-5 would have been more myself. But over all I like the 98 C its shoots great.

 I think your son't like the look for 1 of 2 reasons.

1. Your friend killed you.

2. You stink

nope not doing it

I've never broken any of the plastic pieces when using the M-16 adaptation that the Canadian Forces use- and believe me, I've put that weapon through its paces. The composite (to call it plastic is insulting) stock is designed to deliver a severe beating to a person's skull and be just fine- and it does the job.

To say Tippmanns look realistic is ridiculous. If you want realistic paintball markers, RAP-4 series markers ar ethe best looking- except they shoot a different calibre at 400fps. In terms of field legal markers, Ariakons are probably the best, followed closely by Armotech. ATS does some good stuff, with a very interesting magazine-fed system, the only .68 markers to boast that. The ONLY good Tippmann commercial MilSims I've ever seen have been from Engler- he does some amazing stuff. the AK-A5 is a work of art, and the Dragunov is beyond words. The Opsgear stuff is all overpriced garbage for what it is.

Those who claim Tippmanns are inherently 'realistic' need better familiarity with real firearms. It CAN be done, but if you want the MilSim look, buy a MilSim marker.

hey bro, guess what.

you didn't guess.

The parts are out there, just that Tippmann doesn't make them.Nor will they ever make them.
