| A-5. The Custom Pro was made to be a speedball gun. The A-5 is very rugged and easy to maintain. In a sense, the perfect woodsball gun. |

| if you wanna shoot 17+BPS now or in the future, the cyclone is added extra. Id get a 98c (Its my gun, im biased). You can shoot faster on the 98 that with a cycloned A5. The a5 allows you to switch out grips, could be handy. Ive heard the A5 breaking more! 98 can be run over. I think it is your opinion though. |

definitly A-5, the custom pro is for speedball. the a-5 is sooo reliable, and with the flatline barrel it is the PERFECT woodsball gun. Definitly go with the A-5 and flatline

the A-5 uses too much air to power the hopper and woods ball games are too long to give up any air, so get the custom pro ------------- jet black ion PMI 60/3000 steel Dye invision mask steel/fade 12 volt revolution jt slammer harness Mega Sports Fire Arms gun shop is my sponcer 3 man team Breaking Point |

i would get the a5, barrel, double trigger, and egrip and you should be good to go either speedball or woods. For woods u can sneak a few rounds with turbo = on and then for speedball u walk all over those freakin ions and there stupid eyes. Half of the time the eyes are blind anyway.

A5 IS THE RIGHT CHOICE WITH A FLATLINE BARREL AND DOUBLE TRIGGER AND A RESPONSE TRIGGER THAT IS THE BEST DESION THAT I HAVE EVER MADE I THINK GETTTING A TIPPMANN A5 WAS THE GREATEST DECION EVER ------------- 200 |

He meant that he thought the cyclone uses excess blowback gas, so it does not use any more co2 than in normally would. This is true to an extent. But remember, to power the cyclone, there has to be extra blowback in the first place. The A-5 uses a little more air than it needs to power the cyclone. |

Either one, I don't know why people ask about two guns that are similar. Also this has been posted many times before. ------------- http://www.sloganizer.net/en/">

Wow 2 people that are first time posters in one thread welcome to the both of you and I would go with what you think is more your style to play. Woods get an A-5 and mod the shat out of it at http://www.specialopspaintball.com - www.specialopspaintball.com the best woods site. If your playing speed then either there both good. ------------- Gamertag: Kataklysm999

From what I hear, tippmanns aren't much good for speedball. They're like all out woods ball anyways. But hey, it's all about how you play, not how fast your gun shoots. .................go woods ball ------------- In a world where everyone has gone mad, only the lunatic is truly sane. |

| well if it were between the 98c pro and the a5, id go with the a5, everyone who said the 98c pro is for speedball is right....for woodsball your better off with the a5, unless cash is a problem then get the regular 98c.....coming from a 98c owner haha |
