This is an amazing marker. It blows away both the A5 and 98 Custom although it is very similar. Other reviews have said that it is a gas hog and it heavy, it is not heavy for a woodsball gun and it is not any worse on gas then any tippmann model. Remote line is suggested because without it the tank and stock seem to get in the way of your arm. Also, the HPA is much more efficient then the CO2. I would definitely reccomend this marker.. especially to anyone who is looking for a good woodsball gun
Conclusion:
Buy this product if you are into woodsball.. it is cheaper then trying to upgrade and is just an all around great gun
