Ok I've tested my new 98c for about 3 months now. At first I had my douths, but it is strongly grown on me. I've seen the damage it can do and I've seen how accurate its been and its great. Thanks to Opsgear I made it look sick with a complete aluminium M4 make over. I put the Dye Boomstick and scopes and it is both sick looking and amazingly accurate. I love it. Ok anyway My friend doesn't know much about Paintball yet so he saw adds in a paintball magazine for Armotechs. I told him he could get the 98 but he wants a premade M4 look instead of having to buy the parts for the 98. Now I don't know if an Armotech is more accurate or not than a 98c. Can someone tell me which gun is best. In accuracy, fire rate, range, etc... |

I would honestly go with the 98c because I dont like the looks of pre-fabricated milsims. I would have to say that the 98c takes most of categories. Though I havent shot an Armotech/Ariakon, I have heard mixed things about them. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.)

Personally, Id go with an Ariakon over a Armo. Ariakons are lighter, but similar in performance. Id Take the Ariakon over the 98C. http://forum.ariakon.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1797&PN=1 - Upped A5 vs Upped 98C vs SIM-4 Read the whole thing! MilSimog.com will give you completely unbiased opinion as it has many Armo, Ariakon, and Tippy Fanatics (and you might get an answer from Mag Fans too) so youll get all the Pros and Cons of each marker. You just gotta do some research. ------------- You call the Eagle, Eagle does the rest. |

| I've also heard mixed things about the whole line of milsim markers. I'd check out specific guns in person and see which you like the most. |

The deal with both the Armotech and Ariakon is that they use the same dual stacked tube design as the Spider markers and all their clones. The quality control for both companies has been questionable in the past. I have three Armotech's and an Ariakon. The Ariakon is good but nothing special, one of the Armo's works only when it wants to, and the other outshines every other marker I have owned. So, to sum up, these markers can be great, but will likely require much more care and maintenance than any Tippmann. So, If you want somthig cool and need to learn more about the operation of your marker than you ever wanted to know, get an Armotech or Ariakon. If you want to be able to play all day without fixing your marker, get a Tippmann.

I would say the Tippmann is better, because of its durability and ability to change it if you happen to change your mind. -------------

So what if you have to buy the parts seperately? The others look cheap. GO TIPPMANN!

You'll change your tune when you get nailed five times at 120 feet. The markers extra weight enhances its accuracy at long ranges. When it works it's deadly on the field. |
