98's shoot faster than a mag?

[Meph]

Sorry, but something that breaks down 5 times before a Tippmann even flinches towards having any need or repair.... that is not better. So like you said, shut up. Flaming noobs have no need to comment. Ever.


For the pbgear.com prices. You're missing 2 things. Difference is more than 75 cents bub. You need to buy a barrel for that Automag! You need to buy a bottomline assembly for it! AND you need a hopper.

It's much more than 75 cents. So money wise for what you get, A-5 is a better deal.

HOWEVER if the person just doesn't like the A-5, it's better for them to save up another 100 dollars to get what they need for the mag. If they like the mag better despite price, then so be it!

True I was just comparing the stock price and showing the similarities between the two markers

That funny... I've been here for a while and that's the first time I've hear anyone call them that.

You know, thats funny... I'm just now considering what my next gun will be (I like building collections) - I currently have an X-valved ULE mag and a Smart Mag minimag. I have shortened the list based on quality to the list below for my next gun

X-Mag (probably not, too expensive)

E-mag - strong possibility

Diadem - I once said these were hype... maybe not

Viking - I really like the "feeling" of the owners of this marker - this may not sound important but this is THE REASON I own two mags.

Tippman A-5 - guys, the cyclone feed system (does NOT feed 20BPS guys, Tippman advertises 800 per minute) is just an awesome idea. The flatline barrel (whether it works or not) is innovative, and if anyone makes fun of it it works great as a club too. One of three companies surviving in the paintball industry since the beginning.

You will note that this list is as much about the company behind the product as the product itself, the people who own them - or at least those around here I have seen who own them is the limiting factor on it. Thats not fair to a lot of owners - I know that and Im sorry - but a lot of Tippman owners are too into the militaristic side of woodsball and I had two this weekend just come unglued when there "grand plans" in a big game worked poorly. Not fair, I own a mag (ok two) because of the owners group (as a whole) and the company - I do not buy Smarts Parts because of the company... do I beleive that the mag is a vastly superior product to any other.. no I don't - the mag is a great gun, but it is the owners group / company that make it what it is today.

[QuestionMark?]

In my opinion i think mags are better than tippy's in my opinion. I have played with M98s and i think they are one of the best markers out there for their price range, but we have to look at them stock. The trigger was like pushing a old rusty button (dont ask where that one came from), however the M98 does kick serious A$$ on the field. However several M98 owners brag a little to much about their guns, a few that i know constantly braged and dissed my Automag RT/Pro, i find their comments to be funny. However i shot my mag when i played with it so much faster and better than the M98, not to say that the M98 is bad, the M98 is a great gun, i just think my mag outproformed it. I think this is a matter of personal preferance in my opinion but I play better with my Mag any day over days i use a Tippmann.

Please dont Flame Me for My Opinion!

I don't know who was the genius behind that advertisement, but it's greatly modest. I can tell you it's max. Currently, the Cyclone is capable of 17.6cps.

[Lohman446]

It can feed 12 or it can feed 500 BPS, LOL to me it does not matter cause I can't shoot it. <---- edit - this is not meant to be inflamatory, I do not know more than what I have been told, and gladly concede the feed rate due to lack of knowledge, besides to me it does not matter

The A-5 is an awesome gun, just face it it really really is. Get rid of the RT trigger (don't get the option) and its function is just awesome. So it's kinda ugly (at least for speedball). I mean, I do not like the looks. But, as for the Tippman, I have tremendous respect for the gun, for the company - innovations shared with the rest of the industry. I have respect for those players that have broken the "Tippman" mold and are not too into this. I respect those that are so much more into this that they have the patience to wear camo and wait... I just do not feel that I fit that mold, and a Tippman, well, just is not my style (form over function is idiotic I know I have never claimed to be really intelligent) . Now if I could get rid of the look of one, that cyclone (no battery) feed system is awesome. As for mags being this great indestructible gun - maybe, but I do a lot of maintenance (self induced often enough) on my mag with x-valve and LX. I seldom see anyone do any maintenance to a Tippman.

[superdesk2007]

I've had nothing wrong with my Tippmann, I played through an ice storm with it, still works fine. Tippmans are to long and heavy in my opinion.

[dinger]

no, i will not shut up. all my "opinions" are based upon factual information that has occured around here.

or in laymens terms *ahem* the m98's around here have failed to their so-called "standard" of being such a reliable gun. my gun hasn't broke down once, nothing has gone wrong with it. the m98's... those have just been having problem after problem. ASA's, bottom lines, and even something wrong with the bolt. i'd rather hope those are just manufacturing problems and not due to the fact that the gun is supposed to be that "reliable."

and also, im not a flaming noob. its just that i heavily stand upon my opinion, and i will not change from it. but when i try to make a point, i will say whatever i feel. if you dont like it, tough crap buddy. if you dont like what i say, then just scrol riiight past it.

rt 98 faster than mag?

I am a die hard mag owner but i must agree. a non electro rt 98 custom/a-5 will out shoot a non electro mag any day.

I have seen them shoot 16 bps easy over the chrono.

don't know about the electro models though.

just my .01 worth. ( can't afford .02 ).

Does anyone know the cps on a m98 with ebolt?

I know at least 10 people with 98's and they have NEVER broken down once. Dont know what kind of gun ur using.

[~WarpedRT#2~]

Look, everyone on here is going to say mags are better. Some more than others, and I do mean certain moderators. Mags are ok guns, not the best, but not the worst. Tippmanns are ok too. I'ts personal preference. It only matter what you can shoot faster. Stop being partial, and look around outside the Airgun vault. There is another world.

And leave his Piranha alone. I trust PMI more than any other company.

[spyxtra]

u must be a moron if u think that a POS tippmann can out shoot a mag. teh only way a tippmann would ever shoot that fast would be if u put a RT on it which are ilegal so u couldnt have an advantage in tourny.
