Is a Vert Feeder a better option than the side feeder on the Tippmann 98 Custom

Yes.
Centerfeed has a theoretical feed rate of 17bps (relying solely on gravity). The 45* feedneck on the 98 has a theoretical feed rate of 14bps (again, gravity only).
So yes, centerfeed feeds faster.

^^^I know that a vert feedneck will feed faster than a 45* feedneck, I'm just curious where these numbers came from?^^^
(seems kinda fast for gravity fed)

Rufus Dawg makes a pretty good vert kit for the 98, one of my friends has it.

No offense but thats complete poop unless you meant something else. Cause I think a gun can shoot faster than 17bps, and a gravity feed hopper does 3BPS so what are you talking about. But I would think theres a difference between CF and LF but it is so tiny. And most CF guns can outshoot a Tippmann.

That's the therotical limit, it's not absolute. A force fed hopper can
feed the paint faster than 17 bps, because it's forced, it's not using
gravity such as a revvy. And he's not saying a gravity fed will feed 17
bps, he's saying that's the absolutle fastest gravity can drop a ball
down the neck into the chamber.

The numbers were done by Doc Nickel.
We're mesuring the feed rate of feednecks, not hoppers. So a centerfeed FEEDNECK can feed 17bps, and a 45* FEEDNECK can feed 14bps, theoretically.

That makes alot more sense, I could not understand what maroon was talking about. I use a Halo TSA so I dont worry about feeding problems... as of yet
