The 98c is the most durable, easiest gun to learn with. -------------

Its made out of cast aluminum. Its about 1000x more durable than something that is milled out of aluminum. -------------

The 98 Custom is ugly, but, it is the sturdiest, most reliable marker made. You can run over it with a truck and it will still work. (actually happened).
For the money you cannot get a better marker to learn with. And better yet, it is upgradeable. You can buy truck loads of after-market parts for it. So It can grow with you. Whover told you it was weak, was jealous because his Spyder was broke again. Click on my link to see what you can do with a Tippmann. ------------- United States Marine Corps....

it seems that model 98s are sturdier because they have more metal than a custom says my freind who paintballs alot, so it u want a sturdier a gun i would go with the model i mean it shoots almost the exsact same as the custom just not as easliy susomized and alot sturdier. ( as long as u take good care of it) ------------- bunker like the wind |

If you have not ever played paintball before you should go out and rent. Why run the risk of buying a gun and finding out you hate the spot. Tippmanns have low resale value because there are so many of them. ------------- http://img204.imageshack.us/my.php?image=260991706090alb8rs.jpg">

Yes, 98c would be the way to go if your into woodsball. Otherwise, if you play more speedball, i would say go with a Spyder. My first gun was a Tippmann A-5 and i love it. ------------- A-5 Response Trigger DOP Blade Trigger Polished Internals X-Chamber Custom Paint 14" J&J |

Go to a paintball store. Look for the most expensive gun you can possibly find. That is probly the best one. ------------- So, What button draws my gun?

Uhh, if you have to get a tippy, dont get the a5, get the 98c, but i
reccomend saving up a little bit more and getting something that you
can imagine yourself being pleased with in 3 years, -me
