Well, if you're looking to get into milsim, go with the X7. Otherwise, I would reccomend getting the CPE. You'll be able to do a lot more with the CPE and you can take the hopper you use with it to another gun should you decide to upgrade. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.)

It'll keep up with the Egrip, but you may want to think about replacing some of the internal components should you decide to buy one. I would reccomend a Halo or Reloader B, because should you decide to buy a better gun, you'll already have a hopper than keep up with it. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.)

yes that is true but i dont like the fact about the electric hoppers if iam playing woodsball or stuff like that so the cyclone would be good? does the X-7 have a e-grip yet? |

does the X-7 have a e-grip yet? Not yet. It is coming out in late spring according to the website. I was talking to one of the guys at a Cousins proshop and he said there is a slight delay while they work out a kink in the trigger set up. basically the X7 has a thumb switch safety, nice and simple. The X7 will change it so that there is a third notch between the two, so it will be safety, 3 round burst, and what ever pre-set you want. Sounds nice to me. |

X7 all the way. cause u can get e-grip on it & u can trick it out in more ways. And i bet u can trick it out for a good price.  ------------- Owned to the Dome!! ------------------- we are the GWAGALAGA-socom-COGS!!!!!! |

The X-7 has not only a great look to it, but it is quite a bit lighter as well without having too much more bulk. If I ever pick up a second gun then I'd go with an X-7, but for now I have my good old reliable 98C. Another thing about the X-7 that I noticed, most of the parts seem to be just for looks and a little pricey. Of course if your happy with the normal look of the gun then that isn't a big deal. ------------- 98 Custom Cyclone Double E-Trigger Polished Internals Freak kit X-chamber CP Drop w/On/Off |

the performance right out of the box is wonderful pretty decent shot with stock barrel went through a hopper for no chops with the new cyclone and extremely lighter than you would expect form looking at  |
