Hi I just recently bought a 98c and want to know whats the best upgrade options for my style of play. I usually am a Diehard Flanker who either eliminates an entire team or doesnt get a shot off. I dont know what could help my style in the way of upgrades so im asking you guys. I usually shot for 20 feet away and have Plenty of time to line up my first shot but need to be able to rapidly switch and take out multiple targets. I guess i have 3 questions outa this. 1)What specifically would help my style of play (I.E Accuracy,Quietness, ect.) 2) What Parts Can I get to improve this. 3) Is this style of play a normal accepted style and any tips to playing it. |

A small, lightweight gun would help alot. Try either buying a electronic system, or a double trigger, along with an accurate barrel and possibly a cyclone/hopper if you go electronic. Remember, stay light. -------------

I would reccomend a 12-14" JJ Ceramic for your barrel. 12" is nice because it allows you to run lower to the ground and you can tuck the gun in whith greater ease. 14" is nice because it gives you more room to work around the bunker you're playing, like a tree or rock. Since you're a hit-or-miss player, and you plan on hitting more than missing, I would reccomed picking up a RT. This way, you can still send off one round at a time if you want, or you can lay down a lot of fire. With this, you'll need a faster hopper. Cyclone if you're staying with the Tippmann, electronic if you plan to upgrade to a higher end gun. After that, it's up to you. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.)

1. good barrel (anything jj, evil, maybe a teardrop) 2. R/T and electro hopper 3. x-chamber or palmers male stab. I would suggest a remote as well. ------------- blame it on the irish.... |

| drop forward vs remote, the remote makes your back stick out and your cant use the tank as a stock if it isnt on the gun, and you cant change hands wiht a remote line as well. ya your style of play is normal, if your used to getting them while your prepared and they arnt your playing on their weakness'. as soon as someone who is more experience at that style of play goes against you you will be stuck. practice snapping and if you know you can take someone even when yourr at the disatvantage, youve got a solid strategy. also small fields might be a problem, |

wait, not just a dash or acuracy, why does everyone suggest electrics and speed to new players?!?!?! practice accuracy and hone your skill with your marker. give a player some electric gun thats ramping 25bps with no barrel on and put another 1 in with a barrel kit and good aim and we will see who wins |

The 12" j&j is the best upgrade i ever made to my tippmann. I think it will help with your style of play and your all around accuracy. i hope this helps. ------------- Black Swamp Gators |
