A-5 or 98 custom

Both are equally good markers . I prefer the 98C over the A5 simply because of the A5's hopper , with the A5 , you got no choice , with the 98C , you have as many options as any other player out there .

The A5's hopper has many more moving parts than any other hopper out there, , tippmann tried it a while back with another model , and it didnt fly then either , they improved the Cyclone some, but it still aint top notch in my book for reliability yet, More moving parts = less reliability , , do a search for hopper problems , and you will see my point .

Enough cutting down the Cyclone, if you want a good reliable hopper for the 98C , try the ReLoader . or the Revvy with X board , both made by Brass eagle , but good products anyway (do a search , dont take my word for it ) both arre rated up to 12 BPS and can fill that promise . Avoid the Ricochet Apache loader , good looks , but poor performance .

If you decide on a 98 , you will most likely want to upgrade the barrel first , I have heard the Lapco Bigshot , and the J&J ceramic are decent barrels (Never owned either) , reasonably priced , and good performance . I had Great luck with a .688 JT excellerator (2 Pc) barrel and the shortest extension they make . That would be (presumably ) a Paint to barrel Match issue (Search again to educate yourself) . try webdogradio.us , and Model 98.net to get more detailed info.

Hope this helps .
