Uhh..Aug 22, 2010 this is a okay STARTER gun, very customizsble but its a $70-85 marker, it curves a little, ball break all the time, if i was u id get a spyder or proto
Poor design unchangedJun 07, 2010 This is the third tippmann 98 that I have purchased over the years where the barrel does not fit straight into the reciever. They need to put a barrel nut into the design like the A-5 has for the barrel to properly seat into the reciever. Most tippmann 98's shoot to left because of this. Save some extra money and buy an A-5 you will be glad you did.
Its great Just what my son neededApr 27, 2010 I am greatful for the promp response of me reciving of this paintball marker. My son and I were going paintballing in a couple of weekends and he really wanted his own gun but I didn't want to buy a new and I have enjoyed Tippman's for a while and the gun came just as promised. Thanks again.

Worst tippmenn gun everMar 03, 2010 the a5 or x7 is a much better choice if you are buying a tippmenn or Tippmann X7 Electro PHENOM Paintball Marker Gun InStock marker. Tippmann A-5 A5 Paintball Marker Gunthe 98 custom requires to many upgrades to make it even work like an a5 and if you get a a5 or x7 with an e-grip they are the best woods-ball marker you can get if you do some upgrades that are relatively cheap.

Reliable Dad marker!Nov 27, 2009 Great marker for the price. My son has the Tippmann A5; it's a really nice marker. But I only play every once and a while. So I didn't want to spend the money for An A5. This platinum-custom 98 was just the ticket. Fast, reliable just awesome. I added the cyclone feed to it and it's just as fast as the A5. I really like my custom 98 and small kids fear me.
