I would go with the A5. I know the look of the X7 is appealing, but you can do a lot more with the A5. You can still choose to upgrade it to look like a milsim if you should choose to do so. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

A5 is old news. pick yourself up a nice 98c w/ E-grip and ACT bolt.

| For me I havent had any problems with my A-5. Ive been more than happy with it. I think the main difference between the A-5 and the 98 are their length. The A-5 is a little more compact while the 98 is a little longer. For me, I couldnt use the 98. I always felt uncomfortable with it. With my A-5 I couldnt be happier. I would recommend trying them both out if you can. When your at the local field theres more than enough 98's and A-5's laying around. See if one of the people there will let you test them out. |

it is made of lighter material but i'm not sure if it's actually lighter due to the extra millsim parts ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

The X7 is not more accurate in any way, it should be somewhat lighter and people say it is more balanced. Other than that, it feeds a tad faster out of the box, but the A5 can feed just as fast with not much money -------------

The X7 has too big a body, i mean to big of a target...I prefer 98C's. ------------- 98C Flatline Barrel Adjust Stock w/ velosity adjust Remote Coil w/ Quick Disconnect, Custom Camo Paint 98C, drop forward, R/T, crappy cheap barrel, Halo hopper and Double trigger in near future |

i disagree i think the 98c, custom pros are better for speedball then the A-5 |
