I removed the origonal braided cable and replaced it with a male adapter going directly into the powertube. The remote line I have serves as a reliable expansion aparatus. After removing the ASA threads from underneath the grip I decided that I would use the two holes already there to build a solid stock.  Unlike other bulky expensive stocks (why people buy them I have no idea) my stock does not hinder my mask or line of sight straight down the shroud of my flatline barrel.  I ground a hole through my front sight and placed a fiber optic bead in it which makes aiming a bit easier if my mask fogs. The tube clips I use are 20+3 and allow me to remove the hopper from my line of sight and removes a large and easy target from my opponents when I crawl or manuver (I not exactly trigger happy anyway). You might think the tube idea is crazy but look at what we all used to use in the 1980s, the tube doesnt jam because I have it set at a constant 15 degree angle. I embedded sling adapters into the back of the stock and using the first screw hole of the flatline shroud. The suppressor in the pic is MOCK. It is hollow on the inside and is purely for show. The rocket cock prevents dirt and debris from getting in my gun while manuvering. Overall I've had my 98 for as long as I can remember and I will never part with it. I've put blood and sweat into my gun and it serves me well.  Tippmann guns are all I use. (the paintjob is also my work, its rough but it works. Paintjobs are nothing special anyway...)

Overview: 98C, Flatline, Rocket-cock II, smartparts sticky grips, custom stock, male adapter to remoteline off of powertube, custom MOCK suppressor, custom stock off of grip, custom sighting, custom paintjob, custom tube direct-feed system, sling

Pretty sweet.

PS. Sig too big.

Nice gun though.

very nice

a 98 that i kinda like

and id say make your sig smaller before the mods get to it

  First off, your English doesn't make SENSE.  Notice the "S" in place of the "C". 

  I like the paint job. It looks great.  I like the flatline, but not the MOCK surpressor, the double trigger, or the stock.  I especially hate the tube, but that is just my opinion.

Well first off, I bought the double trigger when I first got my gun so I just decided to keep it on there for the hell of it. Secondly I agree that THERE ARE NO SNIPERS IN PAINTBALL. My gun is fairly accurate but I'm not going any further then that.

And the mock suppressor I made because I have entirely too much time on my hands...heh

Hm...

Well if I said I've had it as long as I can remember would that make more senSe.

I may have overexagerated...

Point taken.

Anyone have any thoughts to add about my marker?

Actually, I used to live in Wyoming.

I just picked a design that I liked. I thought the stripes were effective in breaking up the shape of my gun and they look good.

Well yes,

mock suppressors and scopes.

I changed out my double trigger for my brothers single.

I did the full-auto mod on his stock 98 and with a HALO hopper I think he can get it to work.

I'll post a movie of it if I get it to work right.

Nice. It is practical, but I agree with TolgaK that with limited paint, I would want a straight bore barrel with superior accuracy, maybe something along the Dye or Freak line... but thats just me.

8/10

  I think that you absolutly need a hopper on there.  Get a Q-Loader if that's your thing, but you need more than 20 balls.  Another great upgrade would be a Response Trigger.  If firepower doesn't interest you, then try to upgrade to HPA.  If you're not shooting much, then a $70 47ci 300psi tank will be more than enough to power your gun.  I shoot a cheap tank like that with my RT and it is plenty.  One more thing you might want is a Palmer Stabilizer for effeciency.

You would be very supprised at how well you can play with only 20 rounds.  The standard M16 clip only holds 30 rounds of 5.56mm.  I should probably point out that I carry two spare clips loaded if I need them.  With a lot of guys focusing on making thier markers shoot faster, I've taken the approach to try and make my gun as accurate and ergonomic as possible.  Sure, I could put a hopper on there, but you've never seen me play a game of woodsball.  Try it some time and you'll see its not that hard.  On top of that I can play paintball all day with one case of paint.  When you have less paint you will focus more on manuvering and using cover to outwit rather then outgun your opponents.

  I DO play paintball all day with about a case of paint.  People are always saying "Real guns don't hold lots of shells!"  Well guess what?  These aren't real guns.  Even if you were to compare a paintball gun to an actual gun, it would be more like a sub machine gun than anything else.  Sub machine guns hold more than 20 shells.  No matter how much all the mil sim guys want their guns to look real, they'll never shoot like real guns. 

  I've played games with my RT not even shooting half a hopper(thats under 80 for you slow guys) and taking out the entire 3 man team I was playing against.  That's including using my RT for coverfire so my team could advance at the start.

  Sure, anyone can grab a fast gun and outgun someone every now and then, but when you take a player that grabed decent hits playing with a semi against autos, then give him a gun that will shoot 15+ BPS, and he'll mow down the competition.

  Overall, firepower (especially cheap firepower like a RT) is just a great thing to have.  When you are a team player (and I strongly suspect these "I don't need many paintballs cause I can move like crazy" people aren't team players) you sometimes need to sacrifice your paintballs to supress your opponent for your buddy next to you.  You just can't afford to do that with 20 or less paintballs.

  I agree, there's tons of people out there just hiding behind their guns and wasting every bit of paint they can just to be annoying to the other players, but if you want to play with the best in your area, you have to have firepower, which requires a decent hopper.

  I don't know, maybe you play that "hardcore" woodsball in the thick forest where you have no team and you crawl around on your gut for hours.  If that's the case, then you can do whatever and still be effective, but for anything else, that just won't cut it.  If you think so, then you are badly mistaken.

Well I think the real issue here is the fact that if you and I were on the same team I would want you to lay down suppresive superior firepower while I raid the bunker.

You and I would just be playing different roles. You have yours and I have mine.

Trust me, I have nothing against guys with heavy firepower, its just not MY style.  I just wanted to share the way I like to play paintball.  I am thankfull every time I have a guy with a mongoose or an angel who will lay it down think on a bunker in order to allow me to flank it.

There isnt just one kind of player on the field, and I dont expect anyone to do it exactly the way I do it or vise versa.

By the way, I do enjoy showing off my pump skills every once in a while with my old tiger shark.  Its good to mix it up.

  This statement just proves that you know little about most styles of paintball.  You can't just have one guy laying down ALL of the cover fire.  Players have to help each other out no matter what their position.   Even frontmen are required to spray a little paint every now and then.  Having only 20 rounds is just limiting yourself.

  Another couple of reasons why I lack respect for your opinion is the statements you have made in other threads.  For one, you don't know how to tune your response trigger.  This wouldn't be so bad if you didn't go around talking about the full auto mod you are putting on your gun.  If you know anything about how your gun works, you would know that you just can't get those full auto mods to work.

Yup thats wat i luv doing w00t!!!  But i dont annoy people i shoot em up. ...cuz im good like that.

Look, you dont have to agree with the way I play. Really, I dont care.

Besides, the fact that I just bought my A-5 last month and I am still figuring it all out is none of your concern. I've been playing paintball since I was a kid.  Pumps and tippys are all I've ever used.

I play pick-up games, scenerio, and woodsball.  I have no team and I dont need one. I have a good group of guys I go out and play with at our local field almost every weekend and I go to bigger games every once in a while.

I have developed and adapted my own style of play that I like to use. You, very obviously, have your own way you like to do things.  So, enough about yourself already.  If I played a game of paintball with you you would be fine.  I am a team player and I always collaberate with whoever is put with me on my team.  Your probably trying to paint the picture that I am guy that is stuck up and likes to go off on his own all the time but its not true.  I just a guy like you who likes to play paintball and I'm just sharing the way I do things.

Follow?

  I'm just gonna leave it like that, because you seem to have fun doing whatever it is that you do.  That's what paintball's all about anyway.  You have your style, so go have a great time with it.  I'll go about my business with mine.

Thank you.

Anything anyone else would like to add?

We werent arguing it.

I dont care either way.  Its a dumb arguement.

Thanks for the comment.

I am currently considering cutting off the foregrip and running a CO2 bottle vertically using some spare ASA parts I dug up.  I really like the setup on my A-5 using the stock vertical threads so I'm thinking about it.

Please dont add the the idiotic sniper comments plz.

It looks great man, i love the ups

but forgive me for pissing on the fire, but why do people camo their guns with desert colers, iv never heard of paintball being played in the desert before. i just dont get why people do this in a wooded playing area.

but dont get me wrong, i love what you did to it haha, its good that u support the combined arms style of play also, woodsball needs more of these types of players.

• Get the vertical adapter, hang a good x-chamber off of it, then attach a small (4-6 oz) co2 bottle
  
• This would provide improved ergonomics by keeping the tank from being an impediment when you had to fire from close to the ground
• A six oz tank would be less likely to overpressurize and blow out the disc in warmer weather play than a 4 oz
• Or, you could visit one of the sites that cater to stock class/pump players and find one of the stocks that has an intergral ASA for mounting the tank under the stock
• You could probably use it as a guide for modifying your stock

Thnx Mack

I apreciate you noticed.  I am glad a player of your standing speaking for me.

why do you have a 13 round tube hopper thingy, on an WGP AutoCocker?
