No don't buy the 98 if you want to make it look like an m16.

The a5 is much better for milsim.

the 98 is much btter for a 16 if you mill things off it (such as the foregrip)

the a5 is easier

/\

quite easy to do but permenant i dont suggest you try it

a5 is never a bad choice though

depends on your budget also cause for the price of the a5 you could get a 98 and a stock .

oh my god youre my hero

yes you can put a flatline on it.

and only thing you need to buy is a new hopper to make full advantage of your fully auto (or cyclone with a bit of modification)

heres a couple pics to prove the flatline thing:

i'd suggest an apex though

its a really sweet gun. if you have any questions just pm me.

BT for looks? Nah, Ariakon they are AMAZING at making mil-sim markers, Why go with a US-5? Basically a rip-off of the A-5 or should I say "Clone" you have much better support if you buy a Tippmann.. hince you have Tippmanns Cust Support which far outweighs PMI'S
