98c if you want a tippy. Oh, and it's more like "those $1700 guns," not $500. -------------

Indian Creek Designs makes the BKO series.
Buy a tippmann, it won't let you down. Or if you have the money get a Autococker. (Worr is the company.) -------------

ya we need to no these thing if you play speedball get the 98c pro e it rips, well for a tippmann it rips. its a great gun. it will go around 15bps witch is pritty fast. if you play woodsball get any tippmann all tippmanns are good for woods ------------- TIPPMANN KICKS ASS Champions know pain, endure pain, and never complain 98% of paintballers act gangsta', if you are of the 2% that are normal, put this this in your sig. |

Calm down man. Your posting at 2 in the morning? What type of response did you expect. Do you want an expensive marker or not. At first you say you can't afford 500 then you can't afford 1700, then you want all kinds of information about both. Listen. The 98 custom averages 150 dollars, there are several variations, color schemes etc. The A5 is around 240, with similar variations. Either is an inexpensive reliable marker that would be a wise purchase. ------------- United States Marine Corps.... When it absolutely, positively, has to be destroyed overnight!

Ok. Well, first off i love tippmann and i have a cocker which I like(sometimes) and have experience with other markers. But a big part of the reason I'm a member of this forum is my love for tippmann and I imagine the same goes for many others. So, this forum is probably quite biased in Tippmanns favor.
That being said, I would reccomend a Tippmann. Standard A-5s run about $220. I belive a 98 pro basic runs about the same.(give or take $20 or so.) But you can also purchase either marker with an electronic grip or a response trigger for an extra charge. At this point i wouldnt get a 98 custom, buy a 98 pro instead only for the ease of upgrading. Now, where to buy? I would reccomend actionvillage.com or countyapintball.com Ive dealt with both and had a pleasent experience. Actionvillage May be a little chaeper but for many of their products you need to add them to your cart to see the price. This applies to the "too low to show" pricing. On a sid note, I think a b2k4 is a very well priced, high performance marker. That also I would reccomend. Its all preference. Shoot as many markers as possible before buying anything. |

I love my a-5 and i have never had a single break yet and ive shot many thousand rounds. And i generally shoot at speeds of 15 bps for relatively long time (i pin ppl down so my team moves up and bunkers (they just say bang bang where i play)) So i need to almost constantly shoot when i have people behind their bunkers. I reccomend either of the 2 main tippmanns, or the custom pro (okay so 3 main tippmanns)...have fun ------------- Tippmann A-5 Psycho Ballistics Double Trigger A-5 E-Grip (tweaked and resoldered) Lapco Bigshot 12 inch Barrel Remote (Brand unknown) Soon to come: G36c Scenario kit Nitrogen |
