I have a 98C right now and I'm planning to buy an A-5 next and I was just wondering what should I get out of those choices. Thanks! ------------- I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.

Why buy an A5, when you can upgrade your 98 custom to be just as good as one? ------------- [IMG]http://i27.tinypic.com/1538fbc.jpg"> Squeeze Box ☣ |

| Now with the cyclone out it would be better just to get that and upgrade your 98c. With the e-grip supposidly coming out soon, the two would be almost exactly the same. |

| Except for the stock features you can't get on a 98c. |

put a cyclone on ur 98 and get an r/t or e-grip. either one is fine. the e-grip is okay as long as it isn't getting water poured into it like in a total down pour but if its raining that hard you probably don't want to play anyways. just go with the e-grip unless the r/t is cheaper which i think they're both 100 bucks? ------------- http://imageshack.us">

| The r/t is about $75. At least that is what it costs at my proshop. |

If you really have your heart set on an A-5, I'd get one with an e-grip. If you'd rather just upgrade your 98c with a cyclone an e-grip (when it comes out) and save some $ then I'd do that. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

I was thinking about that earlier. The reason why I'm getting a Tippmann A5 is because I want to install a G36 kit on it. (OPSGear.com) ------------- I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.

get the e-grip because the r/t isn't allowed everywhere. if a field you
go play on only allows semi's then you can put it on that firing more
and still play with the e-grip. there is no way to "turn off" the r/t before you start a match. you would have to totally remove it. so for that alone its worth the added 30 bucks or so. plus you get the firing mode. you will love turbo mode ------------- www.pbteamwow.com |
