well, considering one's a semi and ones a pump, thats like comparing tractors to cars. ------------- 98% of ion owners think ions are better than any high end gun. If you would like to bonus ball these idiots put this in your sig. Proud owner of 3 guns and counting. |

Exactly, these really aren't comparable. Why don't you do the A-5 and the 98? That would make more sense. ------------- http://www.sloganizer.net/en/">

| The C-3 for gas efficiency, the A-5 beats it in every other category unless it's a pump-only game.. |

You should compair the 98C to the A-5. Only thing in common with the C3 and A-5 is that they shoot paintballs and of course made by Tippmann. -------------

You don't compare the two . . . you just don't.
They are completely different types of guns its like comparing an f-250 to a european electric car. They run off of different gas sources and have different actions. |

| Man you can't compare the 98 and a-5 because everyone knows the a-5 is way better. |

at this time, I would go for the A5. The A5 has more accessories and upgrades that is readily available than the C3. But, it would be nice to be able to shoot up to 50,000 balls before changing the tank.

it depends what you want. For innovation, C3 is obvious, but for pure quality and IMO the best all-around stock system (I mean, a-5 with r/t stock can reliably fire 15 bps with no batteries and very reliably) then do the A-5 ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |
