Hey guys, well after going out to my local field to play woodsball with my trilogy pro, even though i didn't think it would be a huge deal, the silver gave me away, you could see me from quite a distance. Also, I realized that I'm really into mil-sim, instead of cockers. I was thinking about returning the trilogy, and either buying a 98c or a5. I've heard that the 98c is extremely upgradeable, and has a few mil-sim options, while the a5 has tons of mil-sim (opsgears a5 builder is sweet) options. Which one would you guys prefer? (If this is considered a vs thread I'll delete it if possible) |

The A5 has more milsim option as you stated on Opsgear and it has a cyclone. I would recommend the A5 because if you really want to get into milsim the A5 will give you more options. -------------

If not that and you liked the feel of the cocker you could find a tactical cocker. I just bought one and love it so far. I also love the A5 I have owned for a few years now. The A5 does give more milsim options and it is a fast gun if you want it to be. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

If you're looking for mil-sim, you should also consider the X7.

Yep, the x7 will have good millsim once opsgear starts into it.

IMO, the 98 Custom makes the best milsim M4 I have ever seen, but that requires ALOT of work. I suggest you get an X7 for milsim though. If you dont like silver you can paint or ano your gun. -------------

I suggest the X-7 hands down. Out of the Box just add a CAR stock and you have a pretty Decent HK-416 Mod.
I do sugest that you do upgrade the peformance aspects as well. Such as the JCS metal ratchet set and the E grip upgrade. -------------

| Thanks for the replies, I think for now I'll just get the 98 custom, and see how I like the gun, then probably start going mil-sim a while after with an a-5. |

Only if a lot of work is put into it. The bolt on milsim mods for the 98 are generally crappy looking imo. ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

Don't tell him that. If he wants to do millsim, than let him. There is nothing wrong with it.
Don't bump old threads! |
