I have played paintball several times over the past few years and now want to buy a gun. At them moment the local Canadian Tire stores have started selling Tippmann guns and have what seems to be some pretty good prices this week.

They are selling the 98 Custom package with the 9oz tank, 200 hopper and mask for $199

They are also selling the 98 Custom Pro with hopper for $199.

I like getting everything I need in the kit since I am starting from scratch. But I also like the double trigger and forward bottle on the custom. The 11" barrel is not really of any benifit since I plan on getting a better barrel soon anyways.

What is the mask like in the kit?

Do I buy the kit. then add double trigger. forward bottle and barrel.

Or buy the custom pro and get a better mask and barrel and a 12oz CO2.

What is the smarter path?

Thanks

I'd go with the custom pro.
