I used to have a 98 Custom, but my brother up and took it away.

Him and his friend have started playing fairly regular at the local field, and I want to try my hand at it again.

Now I've always wanted an A-5, simply for the coolness factor. But I'm not going into this is any serious way.

I was wondering if the price difference between the 98 and the A-5 was really worth it.

I never really had any bad issues with my 98, even with the Flatline and really shoddy paint we had to use, I used to run around and cause mayhem in the woods. So I don't doubt the 98's abilities.

I'd like to get something nice and mean looking and the A-5 is a little more real world than the 98, but all I'm really gonna do is drop a couble of bucks for a Nightstick and thats all. I'd like the ultimate sim ball gun, but I'm not going to bust a gut to get one any more.That was so like 10 years ago.

SO basically is the performance difference between the 98 and the A5 worth the price difference?

The only real difference is that the A5 comes standard with a VA and cyclone. With the 98c, you wont need a VA unless you plan on using an expansion chamber. The cyclone would be a nice upgrade to look into if you do decide on a 98c.

I think that for your purposes, a 98c would suit you well.

Just stick with the 98 for what your doing. Maybe VL revelution hopper so you don't have any ball jams and you should be set.

98 Custom > A-5

And whats this ACT ? I had a couple of ball breaks in the thousands of rounds I shot out of my 98.

I do realise I could have had a "good one", but what does this "new" anti chop technology actually do? And is it worth it?
