| I don't know, I know it's not anythign significant but it just kind of hit me. What the heck does A-5, X-7, C-3, and even 98 all stand for or mean? It's gotta be more than just some letters and numbers that sound cool. |

| ill take a stab. numbers are for the years they were manufactured, except for the c3 which ill assume is because of the chemical compounds of propane |

the a-5 was released before 05,
i think the 5 was in reference to the MP-5. |

Well, the A-5/X-7 are just to sound cool, I believe.
Although the 98 may very well be 1998, or the 98th prototype.
It was originally a Model98 btw.

| lol, it's weird no ones actually knows what they mean, I know I sure don't. Yea 98 was my guess for the Model 98, but I thought it mighta came out before 98, although I'm not too sure of back then. The years idea was a good idea, but even so, what do the letters mean? o.O |

I would say A-5 is because the cyclone has 5 paddles that kind of look like A's if you look at them correctly. Was the x7 released in2007? Company started in 1986? |
