I am looking to get a marker that has ACT, I like the A5 egrip because of the Cyclone feeder, and the new 98 Custom Pro egrip. I know that the 98c has ACT built in but I would have to add the Cyclone feeder, but I really like the A5. So do the A5/X7 have ACT built in?

i have the 98 custom pro e-grip with act. youll be fine without the act, dont use garbage paint. i recommend the cyclone. im using a torque loader, and it chews thru batteries pretttty quick.

get the a-5, and if you don't like it, give it to me :)

the a-5 and the x7 do not have ACT, but the cyclone virtually elliminates the need for ACT. i have also hear that there have been problems with the 98 ACT at high rates of fire. it seems to me that you want to use high rates of fire because you've mentioned two guns with egrips. with the 98 you would have to upgrade to a cyclone or another loader.

Go with a 98, and get a good electric hopper instead of a cyclone IMO. I made the mistake of getting a cyclone, and now I have absolutely no use for it since I've moved onto a better marker. If you get a good electric hopper you can take that to the next gun you get.
