It looks pretty good. I ike it. Cant go wrong with Ops gear.

Tippmann 98 Custom (RIP)
-Flatline Barrel
-Opsgear MP5 Fixed Stock
-1x45 Red Dot Scope

very nice. Look smore like an xy now than an A5

not wanting this to be bumped anymore, but the whole, long barrels and rifling makes a more accurate shot is kinda, how do i say this, BULL. if i can find it, ill show you this article, where they took a couple hundred different barrels, put them on a vice held mag, and shot lots of paint through it. their conclusion was that length of barrel doesnt affect accuracy, so anyone who thinks a 20" barrel is the pintacle of accuracy is wrong, and they also discovered that: barrel kits all are good, and rifling a paintball barrel is the WORST thing you can do for accuracy, it does not work on a spherical object, especially when its not a perfect sphere. they noted that it gave the ball a Horid spin which was Unpredictable and caused worse accuracy than what a stock barrel with a decent paint fit could. Im gonna search for this article, and the newer article on paint and how it affects accuracy, so i can put all these dumb paintball accuracy myths outa business.

its easy to be famous, just set yourself on fire

d4rkmonkey missed one point, but I took care of it below (in blue):

well my rifled barrel is great and improves accuracy over the stock Rifling doesn't really do anything in paintball...

The carry handle and Dot Scope is high enough so my stock doesnt get in the way of my mask.

ive got 3 internal upgrades, my internals are polished which means theres much less friction on the moving parts and cause of that it saves on gas!

Actually no. The stock Tippmann spring is still pushing the stock Tippmann hammer into contact which opens a stock Tippmann valve. The same hammer hitting the same valve at the same speed from the same spring opens the valve just as much as before (if not more due to the "less friction") which means the same amount of gas (if not more) is being released with each shot. Given the way the velocity adjustment system on Tippmanns work, if you had to readjust velocity after all of these upgrades, you are not saving gas, just releasing it at a more restricted rate.

The click Ratchet of the cyclone is now all metal so thats not going to wear away and need replacing

MY JCS Power Tube is Solid Metal and wont wear down, plus it saves on gas too and increases fps. Increasing FPS is a bad idea and could be dangerous, unless you were having trouble getting it around 280. Also, theres no need to upgrade a power tube unless your old one broke.

plus everything soo solid it feels unbreakable!
