| it costs quite a bit. i would say your better off just geting a cap for the end of your tank and either a 14" barrel or a flatline barrel |

The 1st pic is the BT-16 from Ben Tippmann, the barrel is pretty much useless, its basically like the stock barrel on the 98c and the A5, the handguard and the front sight can be bought seperately. The 2nd pic is the car stock, are you trying to make yer marker into a milsim? ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

Well aren't you Mr. Helpy Helperton. It would probably be wise to not start the flaming if you wish to remain here. As for that barrel, unless you are going for the M16 missim look, I wouldn't waste my time with it. It's just added weight for no added performance. And that triangle on the front, which I think you were asking about is the front sight. ------------- Which falls faster, a lead ball or your IQ after reading some of these posts? http://www.pennstatepaintball.com" rel="nofollow - PSU Paintball |

I said that I hated stock (front) grips for some reason the ones that are parralel with the trigger frame feel akward fo me. If it wasn't for some extra customizability I wouldv'e gone with the pro/carbine. The handguard wouyld fell more comfortable.

| On a paintball gun it is meant for looks but on an M-16 its for aiming |

You have no idea how long I have played. How does me hating vert grips makes me a noob as yall call it. I don't care how a gun looks I care how it feels. This aint got nuthin to do with military.(Marines rule by the way and Army stinks by the way) But seriously does anyone else think noob is a dumb word ------------- Notice: The views exspressed in this post do not represent that of the Tippmann Company or the Paintball community but solely the individual who type it. |

i actualy own that exact barell, i payed $65 and it is not incredible but it is an improvement from the stock barell. honestly, a lot of these posts are just ignorant people that dont concider the posiblility that you might just plain like the way that upgrade looks. theres no reason for people to say things like noob, or whatever... man, alot of you flammer guys are probably too busy mashing people on line to even play paintball. thats all i have to say about that. ------------- Tippmann 98c- 14" 32 Degrees Whisper M4 Collapsable Stock Super R/T Halo B |

1. On a M-16, M-14, whatever, it protects the front sight and keeps it from getting bent, while on a paintball gun it is just for looks. Some people are into the mil-sim thing but I would save my money. 2. As for upgrades or preferences, it is all up to you. The best advice I could give you is to play with it stock for a while. I had mine several months before I bought anything new. Try out a couple different 98s if you can and see what you like. 3. Everyone was a n00b at one time TippmannA5User, the question is whether or not you ever grow out of it. |

If you really think bout it, everyone is still considered a newb, n00b, we all learn new things everyday, even in paintball... ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

lmao. ignore that guy we were all nobs a most of us arent cocky pricks about it now. Any way the stock is just used for the look and shoulderign the gun. I find it much easyer to use the c02 as a stock adn practical but w/e floats your boat. alos the front site is for sighiting I guess and looks. you realy need the top sight that fit on your rail to get the whole look and funtion though -------------

i'm doing what he is and I've been playing for years. Look at the pic in my sig from another forum. I'm going the whole milsim m16a1. So what that the mag kit i got is just added weight (not the taped one pictured, but a real m16 mag), the foregrip is cosmetics. Sure the rear site/carry handle is added weight and so will the fron site when i get it. ITS WOODSBALL! Give the guy a break for going to the point of what he wants to do, unlike me who has wasted money on other stuff before accomplishing my dream 98c http://family.webshots.com/photo/2739812890086826186iSCKDK"> ------------- set up Mod 98c R/T Flatline 72/3k HPA remote |
