Thanks :) A lot of the guys in my shop who play, don't like Tippmann Guns and think it looks ridiculous...Because the money I spent I could have bought a higher end marker to play with...They won't think that when I am across the field dropping them...I still have to get my tactical vest, Q-loader, Grenade launcher, compressed Air tank, and remote line...Then it is over for them.

Does your stock need to be extended all the way? Is that how you play?
Shorten up your uhh, wtf is it called? That strap thing.

Ok, to answer some questions...I snipe when I have to, all the gear I have, I know how to use, I will shorten up my rifle sling when I play (Least I get it caught on a tree) I have become familiar with the stock postions...out far for snipping, and close in for firing on the run....

you probably would have been better off getting more useful upgrades
rather than cosmetic ones, but if milsim is your style then i give your gun
an 8 and ur originality a 5... all those upgrades are basically in the same
kit.... maybe after u finish upgrading it i'll give u a better rating...

I never asked for ratings on my gun, but I guess thats what this board is No Biggie. I know they are mostly cosmetic in nature, but I like em and well who knows when I can afford better upgrades, I will get them. For now, I guess they will do.
I noticed that the Tippmann custom pro, is pretty much the same gun as the 98c except it is all electronic and has a nifty drop forward (handy) I won't consider buying one though, until I know whether or not I can put my BT parts on it. Oh if you go to http://www.rap4.com - www.rap4.com you can find rifled barrels for tippmann 98c's in different lengths...maybe that will be my next upgrade and I can move all the handguard and stuff over to it. That is a useful upgrade right?

Hey,
The barrel is pretty cool, it took me about an hour to get it adjusted right, the rail mounts were on the sides instead of top and bottom, so I had to find the right bit to get the set screw undone, and also the front sight assy. Haven't taken it out to play yet, will be doing that next weekend. As far as the sling goes, I bought mone from Walmart too

Ohh, the rocket cock 2 is better, its much slimmer and more stylish, although I don't know if that will fit your guns persona.
EDIT : YES I DO LIKE THE PLASTIC COCK !!!!

And your right ...
He already has a rocket cock on there, I dont see how the rocket cock 2 could be any diffrent, the only thing is that I think it is more flush to the gun ....

Well, the one I have now does interfere with my sliding stock, but to alleviate that I just slide my stock back all the way, cock the gun and am ready to go, just hope I never have a malfunction in the middle of a fire fight  Gonna try this one out first, then if I don't like it, I will try the new slimmer one.

You are my kinda player, i also am a fan of GRENADE Lauchers and lauchers of that sort. If u go on Tippmann Ordnance .com you will see that they have a Howizer, i would get it if i had the money but my funds are a bit low right now. Cause if i had a cannon the size of a Dodge Caravan i cold use it to wake up my neighbors,lol
