try to search but anyway: the 98c is a fairly old gun. it is a good gun for new players who play in the woods and who are on a tight budget. there are a ton of upgrades out there if someday u want to make it better. the a-5 is fairly similar to the 98c but it is much newer technology and comes with the cyclone feeder. It is a better gun than the 98c but costs a bit more. its great for woodsball. if ur into speedball, i would consider an electric spyder. the spyder imagine or pilot are great guns for their prices (an imagine is a lil over $100). My friend has an imagine and i like it a lot. and, if u really want to, you can add a trigger stop and make it fairly easy to walk. so in conclusion, dont get a 98c. if u play in the woods more, get an a-5 and if u play speedball more, look at a very cheap electric gun. -------------

Go for the A-5 or the M98Custom. Both serve new players very well, and can be upgraded for cheap, and are fairly easy to work on, and are incredibly reliable. ------------- Wecomefromthelandoftheiceandsnowwherethemidnightsunandthehot springsblow!" |

There isn't anything wrong with the 98c, and after a few upgrades it works just fine for speedball. The e piranhas aren't bad guns, but I like a gun with more available upgrades. If you are willing to settle for something used, you can get a higher quality, or somewhat upgraded gun for a good price. ------------- For I will wander to and fro, I'll go where I no one do know, |

TES rips 17 out of the box, 20 with a new bolt and switch. Such a better gun then either silver bullet,a-5, and 98.
