LOL, not to get off topic but I know exactly what you mean. People are like I could twin turbo my 300zx and it would smoke a corvette. It's like yeah sure it could, why don't you throw a twin turbo on the vette and see what happens.

My A-5 is definitly tourney grade. With a 10" ultralite, e-grip, intruder x-chamber (it sure is long now, huh?) and the ungodly cyclone feed, it kicks butt. I'd say the cyclone is better than a HALO B. The thing feeds a little above 20bps and has no batteries.

As for the 98, with an e-bolt it can out shoot ALOT of guns. I will take an e-bolt 98 over a lot of popular electros. The thing is sexy.

the problem with the cyclone feed, that I have seen. it doesn't handle brittle paint very well. because when you shoot it advances the next ball. but unlike the halo that is a nice slow push, the A-5 kinda wacks the paint really hard from the very quick action that the ram causes. if hte paint gets pinched a little, it gets crushed in the A-5, the halo will just stop.

oh, and Shartley, what are doing up and typing at 5:30 in the morn?

I was sick. I will not get into it, but sometimes you can't "do your business" and then go back to bed because it comes in cycles... I will leave it at that.

So... I had to fill up the time while my body "settled". THUS AO!!! WooHoo!

(Added: I never DID get back to bed though. grrrr I normally get up and start work about 6 anyways and was up at 4. Then I had to bring my car to the glass company to replace the windshield and both door windows. And I JUST got back. What a nightmare!!!! And a wasted day.)

I think i could shoot a stock tippmann faster than a stock classic mag anyday. Sorry but stock mags are SLOW

[xen_100]

just takes a little practice....... I could do abuot 10 BPS on a stock AGD mag single trigger frame. M98s jump around like a 5 y/o that has been eating sugar. very hard to keep them on target.

Good because that was too much information already!! I agree with Shartley and won't bother follwing the link to fight it out with them. I have a 98 which is a good marker and is really good to loan to friends that want to try out paintball when they come to the field with me. I hate, however, taking that thing apart. My brother has the A-5 with response trigger and that really is a pretty darn cool marker (that feed system is great). It all comes down, however, to feel. Mag maintenance is so simple and I like the feel of the way it shoots.

"How many tourny players do you see with tippys?... None"


thats the dumbest comment i've ever seen! ever heard of tippman effect?

An espyder is faster than a mag too but which one would you rather have?

[GT]

AIR valve > Tippmann CVX(or whatever it is called)

that should be reason enough.

Who's team tippmann effect? And who you callin dumb?

[Crimson_Turkey]

Tippmann effect is the Tippmann sponsored team. They placed 9th at skyball. Pretty damn good team.

nope. I ment a stock m98custom shoots faster than a stock 68 automag.

not to get flamed, but i wonder why everyone has a mag if they can shoot just as fast or even faster with a $100 m98. not that i don't have a mag, or think i should get a m98...i'm just wondering what's the point in sinking $xxx dollars in upgrading your mag when you can shoot faster stock on a m98. the biggest thing the mag has going for it, i think, would be the LX, and that isn't stock. again, i love my mag. just wanted to know everyone's opinion.
