Meh, gun's nothing special, but it's always good to see someone new around with their own aspirations. I'd suggest an Empire Reloader, J+J Ceramic, and AKA 2-liter or Sidewinder. Looking pretty good so far.

Barrel - JJ ceramic or Ultralite or Boomy. Loader - Empire of 12v Revvy. Reg - Bob Long Torpedo or AKA Sidewinder.
------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good.

5/10. Good Start, sounds like you have big plans. I would recommend a Dye Boomstick, Reloader B or Halo TSA, and a Torpedo Reg. A Palmers reg and the Sidewinder are also very good. Good Luck upgrading!!!

Save half of your money and buy an E-Bolt then get it Morlocked. Don't buy all that crap if your going to shoot 9 bps.

Nice start , but with that being said there's a lot of room for improvements .
I would Find out what the diameter is, of the field paint , where you play , and get a barrel , (system ?) to give you a good paint to bore match . with the field paint where I play , I found a JT Excellerator 2 piece barrel , with a .688" stainless back to be about the best match I could reasonably get ,if the ball wont roll out of the barrel , and you can easily blow it out , thats a good match . I dont need a barrel kit with inserts , cuz RPS paints seem , so far to remain fairly consistent . Also , anything over about 12-14 inches is just for looks . with a medium sized bore .686-.689" , and the stock barrel .691" you should be able to shoot 90 Percent of the paint made without any noticible loss of Accuracy or range . Let your pocketbook and needs guide you here .
for a hopper/loader , if you dont want to push the envelope for speed/performance , an electric agitating hopper will be fine such as the Viewloader ReLoader ,or Revolution (Revvy) ,or if you plan on pushing the envelope a bit , the extra money for the Halo would be worth it , I have owned the Ricochet Apache , and I would recommend staying away from it entirely , reason being ,it will feed at its rating , but not as fast as your finger can pull the trigger , Hence chops , the motor in the Apache ramps up to speed , not a good thing on the break when you go full speed in an instant . The ReLoader is sound activated , and the revvy has a set of eyes in the feedneck that senses a gap , the airsmith at the proshop where I pay often said the reloader has a slight advantage over the revvy , cuz it doesnt wait to sense a gap in the feedneck before it feeds . Nuff said there .
Regulator ,,, well,,, I believe Ya dont need one , but if I was gonna fork over the cash to get one , I would get a Palmers Reg , they have about the best name and reputation in the game for regulators , I have used their services before , and they are worth the money !
Dont let anybody tell you 98's arent good for speedball , LOL , I see guys with 98's (and old SL 68's ) trash players with Much more expensive guns every time I go play . Right now , I have a 98 that shoots at 13 BPS , and is accurate , but I wanna see how fast I can push it , so its still in the experimental stages , I play with an old SL68-II pump , Ya,,, Speedball , and I do okay , bout a third of the time , I am one of the last few on the field , usually get 3 - 6 "Eliminations" per heat .
You've made a good start , I would suggest you play a bit , learn how your marker shoots before you buy much crap at all for it , and then devcide for yourself what you "Need" .
Polish your internals .. Make it a priority to do this!

For a new barrel since it looks like your getting serious, you should get the 01' All American. It's more accurate than the new ones. And for a new hopper you should get like an empire reloader.

It is pretty much stock.
Don't wast your money on a low pressure kit, they are pretty much useless.
A good barrel woudl be the Ultralite or Bigshot
A good regulator is the Palmer Stabilizer, it works with both CO2 and comp air.

Ultralite all the way. Take a file to all that excess metal, you could end up with something that's very light.

are you sure your 98 hits 13bps?
They cant even do it electronically without heavy modifications.

I'd bet he can... a suggestion after I watched your "Walking" video...
you're better off just using really fast trigger pulls for a 98c.
Walking is good up to a point where it gets too fast for the trigger to
reset... just use very fast trigger pulls with both fingers at once.

lets not argue about something so dumb. it isnt all about how fast you shoot anyway. It only takes one broken ball to send you to the box.
