'98: Extremely customizable, more bolt-ons for it for performance than either of the others. Plus, you have the option of e-bolting it and turning it into a true electro-pneumatic. Add in the fact that it's a standard hopper feed-neck so you can take a hopper with you if you upgrade to a higher-end marker and you've got my main talking points. Not to mention the fact that it's proven with almost 10 years of use. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

98 custom lawl.... Yeah, they are the best in the sense that after the a-5 came out they adapted everything that was good about it to the 98 Custom ACT, and made it their best gun again ------------- 98 Custom -J&J Ceramic -Double Finger Trigger -Dye Sticky Grips Current Project Autocoker -Fairly crapped right not -Slowly turning it into a modded Evolution Cocker |

oh, you know, nevermind the fact that the vast majority of the "improvements" for the A-5 of which you speak are actually old shelved technology that was adapted to fit the blow-back bleed potential of the CVX valve. All the A-5 really is, are '98 internals is a cheaper, more easily produced shell with the Factory F/A feed system run off of the same pneumatic ram system the '98 RT was designed off of. What other amazing wonders of technology do you wish to attribute to a marker that is really old tech shoved into a mil-simmer's wet dream? ------------- <Removed overly wide sig.

Well I would say the 98Custom ACT Because its light, versatile,TOUGH, easily customizeable, and also A relief to your wallet... It doesnt cost much... ususally comes in a package with a mask, cO2 tank, a hopper, and squeegies. This pack will leave you with some money to buy a 20oz Co2 tank and a case of paint so you can go pballin right out of the pack! -------------

98 custom, unless you like paying more money for a cooler looking A-5, or enjoy the inability to switch loaders if the cyclone breaks. ------------- 2005 Freestyle Naughty Dawg Freestyle Angel LCD SP-8 Tippmann 98 Custom |

98 Custom... very reliable, upgradeable and cheaper than the other two. |
