Why 98 A.C.T. and not A-5 too?

I recently heard about the anti-chop system that is under devolpment by tippmann and man was I pumped untill I found out that it will not be sold as an upgrade to existing tippmanns but come stock on the new 98 customs. That is horribile! If I was going to have to buy another 98 custom to enjoy this new tec. I might as well save up and get a highend marker. I have a A-5 and a 98 custom already and have enjoyed up grading them but I don't feel the need to buy another 98 just to see how good the anti chop works? I think the marketing people are making a mistake by not selling the A.C.T. system as an upgrade that could be put into any 98 or A-5. Also I wonder if the 98 that comes with A.C.T. will even need it. I mean will it come with the new E-grip that has the was board already installed? Is it going to be shooting at a high enough rate to need anti-chop? So many questions I wish a tippmann rep. would respond to this thread.

If enough people ask for an upgrade kit then it will come. Tippmann, like any good company, responds to the demands of its customers so just rally a bunch of people that agree with you and have them make their opinion heard.

agreed

It would be nice to have an upgrade kit.

A5 has Cyclone. Don't need ACT

My ProE has a Cyclone. I don't plan on getting a new body w/ ACT. No need.

yadda yadda yadda, lets all moan about an upgrade kit or something like it... he made me do it, potatoe salad, the gov'ment, HAZAA!

it would be a complete waste to have it in an a5....the cyclone prevents chops (atleast up to 18bps or so)

it needs the act bolt becuz it has the was board and at high rates of fire on ramping for example it would probably blend every last bit of paint in the loader just think

yeah. the A.P.E board lets it go up to something like 25bps. now, i've heard
of people putting a valve on the cyclone's piston to make it keep up(it went
like 20 bps or something). You wouldn't need ACT with that, either. but in
my opinion, boards like the APE and WAS shoot too fast. you shouldn't need
more than 17bps.
