On the e-grip it disengages the sear when its on firemode!\ Also the ballisticsports e-bolt can reach 30bps! But I dont think the 98 custom internals could handle 30 bps |

The E-grip for the A-5 can also reach that speed with a custom board. A sear tripper (E-grip and the sear tripper for the 98c) uses a rod to to trip the sear. When the sear is tripped the marker fires. Trip the sear 10 times, the marker fires ten times. The e-bolt for the 98c (and I believe in the near future, they will have one for the A-5 but dont quote me on that) makes the marker fully electro. Instead of a rear bolt it uses an air ram to to move the front bolt back and forth. As far as fire power neither is better. With the E-grip you can still wear out the sear.(which is still free from Tippmann) No sear with the E-bolt but you get these new more expensive parts that cost more to fix. Personally I would just get the sear tripper for the 98c or the E-grip with the A-5. Less stuff to go wrong. A sticky a thread that stays at the top. It has great info in it for everyone to read. ------------- A-5 RT$380 Double Trigger$29.95 Flatline$149.95 16in All American$75 WGP 70ci 45 CarbonFiber$200 ETC = $1026.75 Whomping newbies who have Markers that cost more than my entire setup...PRICELESS |

I wouldn't go with Either... But I'm a guy who doesn't like Electro too much but will use it if needed. I like Mechanical parts more... So if your catching my drift I say R/T unlesss your going to enter in a tournment then I'd go with what ever gun you own... like if you own a 98c go with E-bolt, and if you own an A-5 go with E-grip. I REALLY REALLY Strongly urge you to use HPA and not C02 to power your E-Grip/E-bolt -------------

C02 isn't good for your internals when you Spit out like 5+ pbs it tends to freeze quickly and with HPA I think that problem would just go away. But I guess you could use c02 and see how well it operates on it. -------------

If you have the money and the ability to have it filled get HPA. It is way more consistent than C02. I too like mechanical parts as well which is why I bought the A-5. It was at the time the most expensive and best looking non electro marker in the store. That was back when I was a newbie and I thought the more expensive it was the better lol. Now if you're low on money, you can get a C02 tank anti siphoned and with a good x-camber you can get better consistency that with just a C02 tank. But even with that I recommend HPA. Its simply better and holds more air. ------------- A-5 RT$380 Double Trigger$29.95 Flatline$149.95 16in All American$75 WGP 70ci 45 CarbonFiber$200 ETC = $1026.75 Whomping newbies who have Markers that cost more than my entire setup...PRICELESS |

I don't see how you could have any reason to say the e-grip is better than the e-bolt if money is not an object.
There are far more advantages to the e-bolt than the e-grip. For example...no recoil. -------------

If the E-bolt is $295, and the E-Bolt is $100 then its obviously better for some reason. ------------- A-5 E-Grip Flatline/and soon to come Freak barrel. |

Well they do the same basically so as long as you have a halo or a rico it should work fine ------------- <Death to overlarge sig, read the rules.> |

Not really. One makes you gun electropneumatic, the other makes your gun a sear tripper. -------------

1. E Bolt. 2. Its electronic. 3. The E Bolt has more modes, but is also more expensive then a E Grip.
Hope it helps!
