As long as you don't loose the parts, install something backwards (that little rubber detent, for example) or otherwise mess it up, 98s are great guns. A5s are great guns.
Both are more firepower than you should need for woodsball.
While I agree that topping $400 for an A5 is a little bit overpriced, I'm of the opinion that it's best to get exactly what you want the first time because it'll save you buying expensive "upgrades" in the long run. If you buddy wants an A5, let him get an A5.
Personally, it sounds like there's a lot more issues here than marker selection on his part.
If you want to be a real friend, don't badger the guy about how uncool his marker selection is and instead try to teach him how to take care of his gear. I know there's some people you just can't help. (I had a 'friend' that kept his gear in a saltwater tacklebox and the aluminum and steel galvanicaly corroded and the body turned to powder. People like that ya can't help.) But this guy sounds salvageable. And don't get on him just because he plays woodsball and doesn't want to play in "serious" games like speedball.
Let him play the game he wants with the gear he wants. The A5 is a fine choice as long as he takes care of it.
