Tippmann 98 custom review

Price: $139.99
Weight: 2.9 lb.
Caliber: .68 in.
Stock barrel: 8.5 in.
Available colors: black, silver and camouflage
Warranty: 1 year
Feed rate: 8 bps

I purchased the 98 c a little over a year ago and have played several times with it. At $140 it can't be beat. While it might not be in the same league as an Angel or Autococker for a beginner, it is one of the best options. Not only is the most customizable marker on the market with a million and one barrels, grips, internals and sights, it is very sturdy and will hold up to what ever you do to it. Because of all the upgrades you can purchase, it can be an effective marker even for an experienced player. Although I currently use Co2 the marker will accept Co2, hpa (High Pressure Air) or nitrogen. The marker comes semi-auto standard. For $100 dollars you can buy the E-trigger to make it full-auto although, with a relatively slow feed rate of 8 bps you won't see it winning the NPPL. Overall it is worth the price tag. I would however, suggest you save another $40 and buy the A-5.(that is if you don't want to sell your car to buy an Angel)

The drop test

Have you ever wondered what quality the paint balls are that you buy? If your answer is yes, you can try the bounce test.

Do the same thing until you have tested a total of 10 balls. After you have tested all 10 balls, throw out the high and low numbers and average the remaining 8. Using the averaged number you can determine what quality of paint balls they are. 0-1 Bounces is considered very fragile. They will probably break in your barrel and pods unless they are packed tight. If you have 1-2 bounce paint, you need to change it or just junk them. 2-3 Bounces is considered fragile. It will break on the enemy but also in your marker. 4-6 Bounces is considered fresh, all around good paint . It will rarely break in the marker and will usually break on other people as long as you aren't sho

What is paintball

Image
Paintball is essentially a game of tag with paint balls. Depending on what type of game you are playing, the style of play can vary quite a bit. There are two main formats: woodsball speedball Woodsball: The game that started it all. Woodsball is basically what the name implies, a game of paintball played in the woods. For amature players, this is by far the most popular setting for paintball, because it doesn't require expensive bunkers. All you need is a big back yard with some type of cover. Trees and brush provide the main cover. Sometimes there are forts, trenches or other man made fortifications to alter game play. Because it is played in the woods it offers another sub category, scenario games. Scenario games: Since you are playing a game where you shoot people in the woods it makes sense that some people would like to pretend that they are in an actual military battle. By using realistic looking markers (paintball guns) and other items such as camoflage clothing, paint gren
