    i saw a guy a few months back with an a-5 and the electronic trigger just laying waste to people. i was quite impressed. how they do stock i dont know, but with that e trigger they do pretty good.

      Yeah, ok. If you want a custom gun, you buy a 'Cocker. End of story.

      As for shooting as fast as you pull... yeah, so will everything else. My PGP will shoot as fast as I pump/pull... it's about the ease of pulling... duh. Way easier to put out 17-18 bps on my 'Cocker than on any Tippmann.

      A-5 E-Grips have the WORST trigger feel in the world. Not to mention when you're at any decent ROF on an A-5 it's gonna kick like a Remington. Don't give me that garbage about "omg if it kicks too much for you then you're a wuss" because if you've ever shot a decent gun with little->no kick, you know damn well it's easier to put ball on ball with that than with some kicking blowback.

      And SPolo, the cocker v mag is far from over. I can tell you straight away that my 'Cocker, as well as many others, will go faster than any E-Mag, even with the latest 3.2 software, as well as wayy more efficient, I can get just over a case with a 68.45 on my 'Cocker. Plus I can pinch paint, quite similiar to an LX and I have an ACE.

        I think by length, they mean the distance betwixt the trigger frame and the foregrip.

        Tippmans are made to be starter guns. It doesn't matter who you are, but a Tippman won't keep you in the game as consistenly as something that doesn't jolt like a cannon or shoot like ***.

          After years of using mags, I recently got to use one of the rentals at the field I work at. I'm impressed. I really think the 98 is just great fun.

          As has been said before, it's about the player.

            no not with a new valve...i have an a-5 that i tinker with, and i got a red vavle, and power tube...though the power tube was replaced, the valve i kept.

            the valve made alot less recoil

            then i threw a low pressure kit on there...and a nice barrel...did a couple trigger jobs...got new recievers, and took the black paint off oof it...my now dusted black a-5 is great...the trigger job was simple...want to argue with my a-5, i have tested so many things on it...oh yeah, did i mention i regged it up with a custom R/T, it can now out feed the cyclone...





            may not be my main marker, but it sure as hell spray it new 240 hopper pretty fast, so fast i have to lower my input pressure from my tank and turn up my velocity by rear and regular...hmmm so as soon as my warp is hooked up on my a-5 and it will feed faster than my marker goes...or if i decide to go and get it centerfeeded and throw a halo on there...hmmm

            hmmm so your saying just because your cocker goes as fast and faster, that means you can get that much paint off in that time...my freind you are mistaken, a highly accustomed elctro cocker (im assuming because ytou have ace) user versus a person thats new to an E-Mag...hmm he doesnt have the right feel to it yet, while youve used the cocker how long...its really the player not the marker on bps...and if its between two high end elctronic semiautomatic markers...

            and you cocker pinches...so so does my bushy with the test otb bolt on there...same with my imp, well it doesnt pinch it more comforms and resets...hmmm and its more effecient than a lvx that needs tuning, or a cocker you have to time...who actually wants to tune a marker..

            as for ace...im getting ace on my e-mag, i have an aced cocker...i have many markers with ace...

            hmm so really man, dont come on here like that...there are a million and one things i can say...

            as for making fun of tippmans made for customization...look again at my a-5...btw, i didnt buy a lpk...i made it...as well as a custom chrome trigger

              Its not that 98's are too long, its that the foregrip is to far forward. I played air ball with my dads, so hard to stay tight. You cant hold it with one hand b/c the kick will throw your shots off even more. My dad has one and he doesnt care. Im surprised by how short the stock pull is.

                  Wow, I thought people on AO were a little more open-minded. I owned a 98c for four years and I loved it. It competed just fine against any other gun on the field. Granted, I had about $850 in it but whatever. It ran lower than an orracle with the lp kit and shot pretty fast with the ebolt in it. I did some custom tweaking too and had other upgrades like a stabilizer, aradus barrel, nitro duck tank and other stuff. It was probably more upgraded than a Tippmann Effect 98. It shot awesome. The only reason I sold it was I wanted something more refined and non-electronic but still fast. And it wasn't too big either. I'm a frontman and with a pb d/f on it I was able to stay pretty damn tight. I'll miss the old tippy but I'm sure I'll love my new XRT custom mag. It pains me to see people being ignorant like this. You almost sound like the people who bash mags for being outdated and not able to compete...

                        maybe were not all rich little kids who ask dad for the new best gun...theres quite a price difference between a 98custom and an angle there buddy

                              I have owned a tippmann A-5, and all i can say, it wasn't the dream marker for me. Tippmanns are built great, and the new field stripping thing is great, but the only thing i hate is the stock barrel! that was the worst thing ever. It never chopped, but it always broke in the barrel. Another thing is that when the shot actually went through, it curved at the last second like in metal gear solid 2, there was a person that had this thing that made bullets like curve at the last second so she would never get hit. I know that i could have gotten a better barrel, but that thing made me crazy and it sounded like a cannon, it WAS a cannon! well, now i got my mag, and i love it more and im glad i sold my A-5 now. I could reach like 9 bps on my tippmann, but i could never shoot like that in a game, but on my mag, i can shoot that same thing just pulling the trigger.
                              I wanna X-mag, but im too poor.

                                Tell ya what....I had a vert feed e-tippmann 98 with LPR, id use it. My friend has an E-bolt, and the other has an LPC, and tell ya what those two combined are sickening. My team has played Tippmann Effect and I could hear those guns rolling like my Timmy. With the Low Pressure kit there is very little kick. I will admit the guns are large, and ugly, but with a vert feed I would use one of those guns. And as for BC, yeah they make money, and yes they help sell the guns, but at practice if they use some other gun they play just as well with the Spyders, no doubt.
                                2 da k da 2 Timmah.

                                Oh..it shoots da 620:1 .No problemo.
