Either works. Both are great guns. Try searching as there are numerous threads answering this same question.

I've always preferred the 98 just because barrel cleaning is so much easier/faster with it.

The A5 is more customisable though isn't it? My A5 has a sound that stands out from the 98s on our field(not sure that is a good thing) |

Only if you count in aesthetic upgrades. The 98c has more performance upgrades though. -------------

I am partial to the A5 and have owned both. Alot of that is because I enjoy using the flatline from time to time and I prefer the connection method used with the A5 to the 98. I also love the cyclone feed but you can get that put on a 98. I am not sure of the effects that would have on the cleaning method you can use with the 98 normally. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

I am partial to the A5, taking into account that I have never owned a 98. A5 barrel is easy enough to clean, just unscrew and clean. Is the 98 really that much easier to clean? |

what he means in that matter is that 98s threads are so bulky, it only wraps around three times, so u just twist the barrel three times and its off, squeege, twist three tims and its back on. -------------
