Yeah, that's a neat choice. Not a cookie cutter type gun, either. You don't see too many of em'.

Tac-One's aren't too delicate they just require some knowledge to properly use. You can just hook up a tank and play.

 O in that case get an A-5 with a Flatline with a collapsable stock.

nofxrules - I just wanna give you some awesome info to help you on these forums. Anytime you ask a question like "what gun should I get" or "which gun is better" you'll see these people pop up sounding like newbies and they just say "get a 98" or "98's are the best" and they'll never say why they'll just post it because they have only ever owned a 98 and know nothing at all.

So ignore them.

Buy a trlilogy autococker off of ebay, put an ultralite on it and ull b happy, i just bought 1 and have both a 98 and an autococker, 98s are way more durable but autocockers are still fast and accurate.

go for an A-5, get a barrel upgrade(something cheap, around $40-$50 but be careful). A-5's have a couple advantages over 98Customs. for 1: much easier to take apart. if you break a ball in your gun 'cuz you got bad paint one day, jsut take the grip off and they slide right out to be cleaned.

2:cyclone feed, some people will tell you it sucks, but newer ones have better parts that have the problems fixed, plus you don't need to buy an expensive electronic loader to gett decent rates of fire, because the cyclone has been tested to feed reliably to 18 bps stock.

3:closed cocking slot. One of the reasons I got an A-5, though not the biggest one, was because I am constantly getting shot in the cocking slot, and on the A-5 it's closed. you can take a cocking slot shot on an A-5 and keep playing, because the internals stay clean. If I remember any more reasons, I'll post them here, but go for an A-5, if you're asking me.

well, depends on the terrain; Woods, open, chatpiles/dunes, ect.  But i would go for the A-5 flatline and throw in a couple mods to make it to your liking.
