The A-5 has a great built in loader. The 98 is better if you want to use a
response trigger, or a flatline.

Team tippmann plays with the A5.
The A5 is a heavy gun, but well suited for woods/scenario game.
Extremely reliable!
If you intend to do alot of speedball, you are looking at he wrong type
of marker entirely. Better would be an electronic marker like the
e-99, or kingman spyder.

The tippy 98's flatline is not that great, somewhat difficult to align,
and the shroud seems to have a flimsy feel to it.
The A5's flatline was built for the A5. Solid installation to say the
least.

Upgrade tree for the A5.
A5,
flatline barrell
Palmer stabilzer (the verticle one)
HP kit, and a 3000psi nitro tank. (integrates the stabilizer)
egrip.

One nice thing about the tippy98, is that there are tons of mods, but
none of them do anything to the performance, they just look cool.

FYI. www.pbreview.com has excellent forums for every paintball product
imaginable.

I just think A-5 is cooler. It's not hard to put an e-trigger on it.
And also it's just better in general

I disagree. a NORMAL DECENT barrel is the first upgrade. stock one is just
on there because they had to put something on, and NOT a flatline or you
will never know how it is SUPPOSED to shoot.

skip straight to the HPA tank if there is a place to fill them and you can
afford a tank. there is no need for a palmer on the A5 unless you are using
CO2. the gun is pretty consistant if you take care of it. you can screw on
that HPA tank with no mods.

there is no HP kit. I think you mean LP kit, and is will not make a
noticable difference in performance. waste of money.

an egrip will top out the A5 as far as performance. faster rate of fire, or
buy one with a response trigger if you are not going to use it in a tourney
of any sort as the R/T is illegal in them. R/T is cheaper and will get you a
higher rate of fire if desired.

Tippmann custom 98- good NORMAL barrel

electronic hopper. (remember- the A-5 has an excellent mechanical feed
hopper built right on...so no need to plonk $50.00 for the hopper)

HPA tank for same reasons above for A-5.

R/T or e-bolt if desired.

NOW everything else is a waste of money. (ebolt probably is a waste
too...Tippmann is still selling them for 295.00!!!!!)

R/T if you want faster rates of fire on the cheap.
