Well, I'm going to have to go with the 98ACT seeing as how it does have ACT unlike the A5.

There are exactly two reasons why an A-5 would EVER chop paint:  bad paint or mechanical problem.

Except for the occasional bad batch and ratchet problem, my A-5 has not chopped a single paintball.  Not one.  And I have put a lot of paint through that thing.  A properly functioning A-5 (or X-7, or 98 Cyclone) with decent paint is practically incapable of chopping.

thanks guys...im in the market since my viewloader broke last week, and so far ive narrowed it down to these 2. no matter what gun i get, i will install an e grip. im pretty sure the one i will buy will be mostly for its antichopping ability..thats why i like the 98 and a5(and i played with my friends a5, and it was awsome!) :)

98 with Cyclone.

You could always make a ghetto anti chop for the A5, but you really do not need it.

man, apart for a bad ratchet my dads never choped paint in his cyclone and ive never choped paint in mine either and performance wise i feel the a-5 is much better than my 98 and its not that much expensife. get a confy stock, vest, remote, good barrel, new front bolt and its an awsome set up.

then again, a 98act with cyclone would be great
