The angel just blows all the other guns out of the water. But being serious get the A-5. It is easly customizable and pretty decent stock. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

ahh beat me to it ^^^ well if it is going to be like your first good gun i wood go with the 98custom or the A5. Both are great especially for woodsball becuase you can get the flatline. The A5 is more exspensie but remeber you dont need to get a new hopper for it.. Both guns are good so either one would be a good gun for you. -------------

a 98 custom is really all you need. you can customize it to compare with an angel or keep it simple.

You sound like you are relatively new. If so, don't get the Angel. It will be an expensive paperweight unless it is taken care of. Start with a 98C, and upgrade it to your liking. |

I was going to say the paperwieght joke. A-5 or 98 custom. If you can screw those up beyond repair, they should get an award. |

Go with the 98 custom.... it is relativly comparable to the A-5 basically it is its brother..But don't think tippmann gave up on the 98custom because the A-5 came out... The 98 custom is soon to have a cyclone feed like the A-5 (in July 2005) and is soon to have a e-grip some time like it too. But my favorite thing about tippmanns is all the awsome upgrades and stuff you can do to them, I just bought a Expansion chamber for my 98 custom for $40.00 new! And yes i am going to get the cyclone feed for it also in july,mainly because i hate changing/shaking my hopper plus my friend shot a hole right through it so now i'm stuck with a dumb viewloader 200 rd hopper. -Also in my train of thought i think the A-5 is being caught up by the 98 custom. it is a tough call......

Since your friends are using E-grips, get the Custom Pro with the e-trigger. It's cheaper than an A-5 + E-grip, and it still roxzorz. And it comes with a decent barrel. *edit* ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |
