Hey guys I got a ton of Input on my A5... I really appreciate it... What I don't like are people coming on a TIPPMANN forum (Yes, Tippmann Unless you are blind and can't see TIPPMANN PAINTBALL MADE IN THE U.S.A) If You don't like tippmann I don't like you... I'm sick of people raggin on Tippmann saying how much there worthless and other crap. Stop raggin on Tippmann and I'll drop this topic... But anyways I just ordered a OFFSET RAIL so when I get it I'll put another pic up here... I also just got a new Shoulder Strap and in the near future I'm going to buy a Expansion Chamber... but I wanna thank you guys again for the rates!!!!!!!!!! My 98 is pretty much a messin round in the back yard gun... RATE THESE FOR ME AND GIVE ME SOME SUGGESTIONS... I DON'T USE MY 98 AS MUCH AS I DO WITH THE A5 -TippmannA5MASTR My 98 Custom http://img117.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img117&image=tippmann982cd.jpg - http://img117.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img117&image=tippmann982 cd.jpg My A5 (Alot Better...) http://img122.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img122&image=tippmanna54vg.jpg - http://img122.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img122&image=tippmanna54 vg.jpg http://img122.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img122&image=tippmanna524in.jpg - http://img122.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img122&image=tippmanna52 4in.jpg

| i think they both look cool, and it annoys me when people come on a forum that is specifically for tippmanns, and they say that they are a big pile of bull $h1t and a waste of money. get off this forum and dont come back because i think you are unwanted. we like tippmanns thay are made in the good ole USA and i would rather spend 2,000 dollars for a 98 custom than .02 cents for a bko or cockerwhich i think look japaneese, dumb,cheap, plasticy, and just crap, and by the way TippmannA5mastr both of those guns are great 6/10 9/10 |

The a-5 looks a little odd with the scope mounted like that. Get an Lapco offset and mount it on a 45 degree rail. I use a red dot scope and can still see through even with the mask on. 8.5/10 your 98 needs some attention My A-5: http://www.tippmann.com/players/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=125966&PN=1&TPN=1 - http://www.tippmann.com/players/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp ?TID=125966&PN=1&TPN=1 |

I would have to agree with him. But that's our opinions. Tippmann guns are huge and not real speedy. That's my only beef with them. But that's not a bad thing if you are lurking around the woods playing paintball tag. ------------- Who loves the chocolate? Everyone loves the chocolate. Nobody hates the chocolate.

At least my worthless Tippmann marker can be used at any place, any time, rain or snow, sun or shine, muddy or dirty, and will never fail me no matter what, and will never need to be fixed. What a worthless gun I have. You obviously have no idea what a "quality" marker is. A marker is quality when you can always depend on it, and you don't have to go to extra lengths to maintain it.
As for the pictures, your 98 looks like stock with a red-dot, so I'm not rating it. ------------- -Wild |

Your 98 looks like any other 98 i have seen and your A-5 is ok but i dont know why people go for the flatline... its good sometimes but you have to get it like perfect or your balls will go left right up down wherever it goes... rest of it mostly tipical that i see around here.. but i guess its wut u wanted and if it makes u happy mailto:&*$#$&#^&*$@#$ - &*$#$&#^&*$@(#$ ^*@& go for it |

pretty nice a5 although the tower made by the rails then scope looks a bit weird. as for not beign able to get compressed air fills, talk to your local car repair shop. alot of times they have scuba tanks filled with compressed air that they mix with another bottle of something else for welding. you can try to cut a deal with them possibly to give you compressed air fills. as for the anti-tippmann war youve assessed and formally created in this thread, isnt everyone entitled to there opinion? maybe their here because they once owned tippmanns but foudn sumthing they like more and have gotten to the point they forgot about their beginings. maybe its because this was once the one of the best paintball forums on the internet until people started flaming everyone else for having opinions. you have to realize your no better than the people who are anti-tippmann, and as for the "plastic pieces of crap", they could still outshoot you in most cases. the only guns these days that are made of plastic are brass eagles and winchesters, not many others. notice spyders, cockers, bushmasters, shockers, and the like are made of metal, wether it be steel or aluminum. speaking of plastic, whats your grip made from again? plastic? and what about the cyclone? same thing as those "plastic pieces of crap"? please dont be a hypocrite, i love tippmann, but just cuz people flame em' dont mean you shood flame the people who flame. come on, who wants a fire fight? ------------- A5, egrip, cp barrel kit, check it asa, etc |

nice a5 but ya gotta do something to the 98, its almost completely stock...If that gun is used for sniper-like tactics, then you need to get a better barrel (i.e. a flatline) and some valves because you obviously are wanting to place your first shot on your target, which is why you have the scope...I love my 98, and I havent done a whole lot to mine, because it came with pretty much everything i need. ------------- My gun: -Tippmann Stealthline 98 Response -14" barrel -Double Trigger -Drop Forward -Threaded Hopper (soon to be revvy) -Hyperstar Bolt Soon to be Flatline |

Great job on both your guns. I don't know about the scope
though. Tunnel vision. If you really want a sight I would go with a red dot sight. No tunnel vision and a lot smaller. But, hey, if the scope works for you then go for it. Altogether good job with the guns. |
