| I have a 98 but i have been wanting to upgrade. I had a flatline for it but it was a paint, and i have read that the a5 flatline is not a paint. So my question is if i should either upgrade my 98 or just go ahead and buy a new gun. |

Upgrade the 98. You dont need a Flatty. Put an E-Bolt, new barrel, electronic hopper and some other ups on it and you're set. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

stick with the 98 and if u like the cyclone feed system on the A5 u can get that for the 98 and u can find more barrels for the 98 and alot of more ups to the gun then a a5 so stick with the 98 ------------- http://www.specialopspaintball.com/brigade/member_view.asp?id=49631">

upgrade your 98. It's cheaper to do that. You could get a J and J
ceramic barrel or something, that barrel is not a paint.

Go with the 98 i shoot 18bps with a cyclone feed out of my 98's flat line and rarely bust a ball. Plus you can get a flat line and cyclone for like 160 bucks , and add a r/t and still be cheaper than getting a stock a-5. http://http://www.mindistortion.net/iwantyoursoul/?i_am=KC CHRISTOPHER - http://http://www.mindistortion.net/iwantyoursoul/?i_am=KC CHRISTOPHER ------------- Custom 98 R/T Fatline Cyclone feed w/ R-5 hopper Pen spring Full stock Custom paint Red dot Forward tank cronoed at 18 balls per/second |
