You can shoot all the balls downrange you want.  But if you cannot hit you your target without at least 15 to 25 bps, you need more practice not expensive equipment. 

The point here is that speedball techniques are not always appropriate for woodsball.  A lot of players get hung up on which marker is best at this or that, but forget that it only takes one paintball to put you out.

Yes you can and it has 15 bps without a double trigger.

heres a Tippmann double trigger for the A-5 it come's to $30.00.

get an R/T or E-Bolt your your 98c and a new hopper and you can shoot really fast. then you wont have to get a new gun. i own a 98c and i love it. i say in woodsball you dont have to shoot that fast. its more of consistancy shots.whatever floats your boat though.

You know, I'm really surprised no one mentioned the AGD Tac-One.

Even though I have 5 cockers and an angel (and I play with them in the woods), I would love to take this baby onto the field (if I had the $$ to buy one).

Since the topic is "woodsball gun?", I too would recommend a tippmann.  If you feel you may venture outside of woodsball and enjoy speedball in the future, an automag or cocker would work well in both situations.  Woodsball can potentially consist of wear and tear situations, where moisture may seep into the internals.  In this case, an electronic gun may be damaged.

Ultimately it does depend on your tactics and strategy.  I only own speedball guns, and when playing woodsball, I have used the high rate of fire to my advantage.  This high rate of fire only provides me an advantage in specific situations.

While woodsball and speedball both have their own particular quirks, really doesn't matter what marker you use for either.  Generally you want something robust in a woodsball environment just because you have more things to bang your marker into but other than that it is up to you.  If you are new to the sport a Tippmann or a Spyder will make a fine first marker since they are easy to work on and require little maintenance. Tippmanns are known for being robust markers even if you neglect them maintenance wise so if your maintenance skills are not very good that may be something to consider too. 

In general stay away from the more pricey markers.  One, if you get a marker and find out that you're not going to stick with the sport (for whatever reason) you have invested less of your money into it. Secondly, the minor nuances that make a high end marker worth the money will not be useful to the new player.  Their skill level will not meet the performance level of that marker.  By getting and inexpensive marker and playing with it for a few months (or even a year) you will see if you really are going to stick with the sport and gain a lot of valuable experiance so when it comes time to put down your hard earned money for that more expensive marker you'll have a better idea of what features you want and what marker will thus serve your needs the best.

Hope this helps.

New to the sport?
