I have a 98 Custom and I am thinking about upgrading to a new
weapon. I thought I had my heart set on getting an A-5 because a
few of my friends have them and they work really well. Now I just
came across the Custom Pro E so now I have no idea what to get. I
primarily play woods ball so long range accuracy and firepower are a
must. So my question is do I get an A-5 (and eventually get an
E-Grip later), or do I get a Custom Pro E? Also will all of the
accessories and addons from the 98C work on the CP E? Because if
I am able to use my barrel, fancy electronic hopper, and stock on a CP
E that would also influence what I would buy. Thanks for any
help!

A5. ups for it are cheaper(like e-grip) and the flatline looks better on it. and it can shoot faster.

| i have an a-5 and its great. the only time the a-5 might not be your best bet is in speedball, but it is an AWESOME wood ball gun. |

| the custom pro e can use you 98 customs upgrades and i would get that. that gun is $239.99 10 dollars mored than the 1-5 but it already has a double trigger, it's electronic, and it has a drop forward. you already have a stock and electronic hopper and a new barrel for it so you should get that. if you go with the a-5 you cant use your hopper, barrel, or stock but you could sell it. if you get the a-5 and go electro it will be over 300 dollars still with the stock barrel. the flatline looks good on both guns just easier to put on and a-5. with the flatline and a carstock on the 98 it looks awsome. if you get the custom pro e then eventually get an expainsion chamber or nitro(maybe a remote). my friend has an a-5 and taking it apart is a hasle because there are more parts on it and with my 98 custom i take of one half and thats all. he tried putting on an expasion chamber on his a-5 and destroyed the gun, but it could just be because he is so stupid and gets mad over everything. also my dads friend has a model 98 and his friends have a-5's and dont like them but he loves his 98. ok thats all i think. |
