They are almost the same.  The A5 has a cyclone feed system, is closed bolt, and is easier to fieldstrip. Performance wise they are almost identical.

Give 1 reason why the 98 is better beside it being cheaper.People on the other threads( which are the same as this one) say the 98c is so much better, but they never give a reason. All i can figure is that you people who say the 98c is a better gun have no clue what you're talking about and have probably never shot one. The A-5 is the better gun, and dont even try to argue that the stock 98c is better than the stock A-5. Also, please no more of these threads, theres been like 10 of these exact same ones in the past month

the only reason the 98c is better is because it can use a halo or sumthin faster than a cyclone.  Otherwise they r basically the same.  And its easier for a 98c to chop since the cyclone prevents it a lil, but if u have a halo then i doubt ull chop with a 98c either.


Do not tempt the lord!

the 98.      ive had my 98 for about 2 years.compared to the a-5 stock,how can u say that there even close.it might sound newbeish,but the 98 is longer range,and to me feels more comfortable.easyer to keep clean and to control.

the reason is simple...cost...  the a5 is not worth 100 more....98c + Revvy is better than a a5....
with they cyclone, you can get shot easier...have you seen a pic of an a5 from the front? Have you seen how wide it is? its like 5 98c's next to each other...

ANOTHER EXAMPLE
BOB gets an a5 = 230
ROB gets a 98c+ revvy =  160
ROB SAVES 70 here

NEXT MONTH

BOB DECIDES TO GET A NEW GUN (ex..spyder Imagine) =120 + revvy =165
ROB GETS A NEW GUN (SPYDER IMAGINE) = 120, plus the revvy he had= 120
(try taking off the cyclone feed from the A5   )

ROB just saved 40 bux here

The 70 + this 40 = 110 saved by getting 98c
Plus less chance of getting shot = more playing time= getting better in a shorter amount of time...

lol sorry if the BOB and ROB sound ghey...lol

I hope this helps some of u decide between the 98c and A-5.....

your an idiot, i own an a-5 and the cyclone is less than the size of half a pop can, it's not easier to get shot because of that, plus the hopper is lower than one on a vert feed gun. The 98c stock at most can shoot 12. The A-5 can shoot 15. The A-5 is easier to maintain, shoots faster, just as long, and is in most if not all ways a better gun. Thats why it costs more. Every time someone says the A-5 sucks and the 98c is better is a complete newb, and have never shot an A-5 before or else they'd be praising it, not trashing it. So please dont talk **edited** if you dont know what your talking about.

jacob_100, you know nothing, stop posting.

I've owned both, the 98c is smaller and marginally lighter, the A-5  is easier to strip, and the cyclone is excellent. The cyclone is not "huge" it just appears that way because instead of a feedneck being 1 inch wide its "feedneck" is a bit more than 2 inches wide. I've never even been shot in the cyclone.

Personally, I prefer the 98c.

you've obviously never taken apart an A-5 or you'd know how easy is is to maintain. Everything is right in front of you just like it is in the 98. So you dont seem to know what your talking about.

your an idiot, why are you calling me an idiot ?!?! i own an a-5 and the cyclone is less than the size of half a pop can, it's not easier to get shot because of that,lol, ya it is, the more you are exposed, the chances of u getting shot is higher kid.  plus the hopper is lower than one on a vert feed gun.Did I say its not? NO. Thats my point, when ur behind a bunker and u go to ur right, with the A5, you are exposed more, so the chances of u getting shot is higher.!!@!# The 98c stock at most can shoot 12. Key word "stock"... thats why people upgrade their gun. The A-5 can shoot 15. I would love to see a vid of a stock A5 shooting 15 bps The A-5 is easier to maintain,Thats NOT true. If ur a moron and u dont know **edited** about a gun, you will have trouble with the A5 too. shoots faster, just as long,Just as long? I dont get it  Are you talking about the range? or the length of the gun? Cas I never said the 98c shoots further... and is in most if not all ways a better gun.Thats ur opinion dude... thats not a FACT. Thats why it costs more.And it shouldnt, thats my point. Every time someone says the A-5 sucks and the 98c is better is a complete newb,Againt, another OPINION, I WANT FACTS DUDE. and have never shot an A-5 before or else they'd be praising it,FALSE statement, i have shot the A5 and its not ne better thanthe 98c . not trashing it.I am NOT trashing it, I am giving FACTS to you. So please dont talk **edited** Im not talking **edited**. if you dont know what your talking about. Another false statement, I do know what Im talking about.

 you criticized(sp) him on how he sais the 98c is better then doesnt give a reason.
 you just said the a-5 was better, and didnt give a reason yourself.

im split between the two....

 a-5 comes with a descent loader.
     After alot of use, that loader can become inconsistent and needs repair
 a-5 is faster out of the box
     Not too much of a difference, though.
 a-5 has a heavier hammar to illiminate a run-away trigger
 a-5 has no moving external parts
     the 98c's pull pin hurts!, but you get used to it just like with cockers

 98c is lighter
 98c has a much better e-system
      costs alot, though
 98c can accept almost any loader, making the cyclone almost pointelss.
 98c is smaller
 you can customize a 98c alot easier and there are more parts to customize (not buying parts, by using dremmel, etc)
 98c is faster after upgrades
  a-5 is limited to 15bps cause thats the max the cyclone can feed.

their is no better marker between the two, whoever sais the a-5 or 98c is better is just ignorent and only sais the gun they own is best...

pardon my grammar, i have a bit too much of alchohol in me.

the 98s e-system is more expensive, but it turns the marker into a true electro pneumatic gun... ie, it uses a ram to return the bolt

with an a-5's egrip, electronics are used to opperate the trigger, not make the gun fire. you pull the trigger which hits a microswitch, then trips a sear. therefor, its still a sear tripper. so its not fully electronic.

 also, the bsi ebolt is capped around 30 bps, the a-5s egrip is capped around 15.

i own both and i say that the guns are very nice and that they are very equal except in the fact that the 98 custom can be upgraded alot faster and easier and the a-5 just dosent have those qualities yet the a-5 looks way more intimidating it is still not the better choice.....thats my opinon and i think most of you will agree.
