I take it that your leaning towards the X7 due to the milsim look? The X7 is a great looking gun, but overpriced if you ask me. If you can justify spending the money on an X7, then go with that (I like it too over the A5). If your starting out, I wouldn't get the X7. I would go for the Alpha Black, 98C, or the A5 (in that order) due to the prices. If your planning on shooting in semi-auto, then why not go for the Alpha Black or 98C? Even in full auto why not get the Egrip Alpha Black or 98C? The X7 will cost at least $200 more. Between those 2 though, I would go with the X7 in egrip. ------------- Deleted outwar crap |

I would recommend either the A5 or the Alpha. The A5 is nice b/c its got the cyclone already on it. The alpha is nice though b/c for under 200 you will be able to get the tactical with egrip and a cyclone when they are released. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

If you're looking for a good MILSIM, the X-7 would be a better bet over the A-5. Upgrading the A-5 can cost a shiny dime, especially when you start talking about cosmetic, bolt on upgrades. They're both incredibly reliable however, so you won't go wrong makind a decision from that line. However, notom66866 does a good job in suggesting the Alpha Black. Don't be turned off to the gravity fed hopper setup, the cyclone for that is set to be released in June. It is a very reliable marker, and in terms of cosmetics, what you pay for an M4 knockup out of the box is almost a joke compared to what you would have to pay to mod an A5 or even an X7. ------------- ? |

If you are going milsim I would recomend the Alpha over the X7 and here is why. X7 w/ egrip =399 + Stock (if you want one) add at least 99ish Total =500 Alpha w/ egrip = 180 Add in cyclone +70 Total = 250 And since you already have a 98c you can use the barrel you already have. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">
