98c vs 98 (im new)EDIT

All my friends paintball so i thought about getting into it. Now  the only paintball gun i ever owned was a hceap $20 pump one. I heard from people on the internet that tippmann 98 was a good starter.

Now what is the major diff between a regular 98 and a 98c?
I live in mid coast Maine where there is alot of woods with thick to medium brush and open fields (most have slight slopes in them) boardering each other. Thought i give you and idea of my landscape I play in might be helpfull.

also it would be nice if you would give me some starting tips.

what do you mean by easier? Can I still get a longer barrle for a regular 98?
 

It's easier to find upgrades on websites. To upgrade you don't have to send it in to get stuff put on and you don't have to cut on it as much.

Yes you can get different barrels for the m98. I wouldn't go over 12 or 14in, though. You could look into the flatline barrel, although I'm not entirely sure if it will fit on the m98.

I reccommend the 98 custom pro or the 98 custom. I own a 98 custom.

I found a good deal on a 98c.  about how far sould i shoot a  paintball with a 16 inch barrel.  And would  putting a 21 inch on it be a smart idea?

Don't go over 14" for the barrel. It will NOT increase the distance of the shot; it will just waste air.

how much did u get it for, i got my 98c from ebay with a 14" progressive and java diamond gripos for 140 cnd. good choice. play with it first and they decide what you want for the gun. the 98c is a good starter gun but u can turn it into a good gun for an experienced player. id suggest a barrel, if it doesnt already come with one, an x chamber (expansion chamber)(gives the co2 more time to "expand" and saves co2 and gives u better accuracy. the smart parts progressive is a great barrel for the 98c. or the lapco big shot. j&j is a good make 2. and last. promise ill shut up. my cousin is gonna buy a custom made 21 inch barrel for his spyder xtra.lol BAD IDEA. 1. it will get in the way 2. the co2 only needs 8 inches of the barrel to puch the ball out at its peak speed. and more than that the ball starts to sow down. but 12-14 is good because i does give better accuracy. and 3. it wont go any where. ok good luck have fun be safe

i got it for $81  USD. Its refurbished im a little skeptical even tho it said it should only have some minor scrtahches. I saw a pic of it and it looks like everything is alright.but if it doesn't work oh well. My parents are paying for it

It should work if tippmann is reliable as you people say it is it should work  also I bought it from an actual paintball store. Ill get a link up.

It being made by tippmann doesnt garantee it to be in good condition, Tippmanns are rugged, but you still have to care for them, and if yours doesnt work, it shouldnt be too hard or costly to get back into working order. enjoy your new gun

i personally like the m98 or the 98c but i have a m98 great choice hope u have fun with it
