I've played a few games with someones once. It's really acurate. That's why it's one of the best woodsball guns. In woodsball that first shot counts and the accuracy of thsi gun is awesome. It won't be as good as a high quality pump but for a semi it's awesome.

If you have a lot of extra money, you can get the flatline barrel which makes it more accurate even and I think faster too. It gives the ball a backspin or something like that.

Whoever told you it wasn't accurate should try this gun instead of just guessing.

Go look at the reviews on this site on the left.

hey i have a tippmann and ya the stock barell isnt the best but i got a 14in sniper barell for 45 bucks and it made a 100% difference i can hit a two inch tree from 45-50 yards!! its awsome!!

I think u should got with the tippy it the most reliable and upgradeable gun u can get

[Mutated Goose]

Tippies are accurate enough to hit a person carrying another marker in a game called paintball.

DON'T MAKE DIS ANOTHER FLATLINE SUCKS THREAD
I DON'T WANT PPL WASTING MONEY ON IT
IT'S NOT THAT ACCURATE @ CLOSE OR ANYTHING DISTANCE
IT'S CREATES BACKSPIN WHICH WILL RAISE THE PAINTBALL
SO IT'S NOT THAT ACCURATE
U HAVE TO SPRAY AND PRAY TO HIT THEM
AND 4 SNIPING
BY THE TIME IT COMES CLOSE ENOUGH 2 THE TARGET IT WILL SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO DODGE IT

THey can hit a barn if ur lucky, seriously i have used tons of differant barrels and noe of them helped. NEVER get a flatline. they c98 is gun gun ot screw around with ur friends

[tripnotemple]

A tippmann is just as accurate as any other open bolt blowback marker on the market. Stock it's not too accurate, but it's extremely dependable. A few choice upgrades like a barrel and a reg will help accuracy tremendously.

Oh and by the way, the flatline is a great barrel if you know how to adjust your gun correctly and install the barrel right. :rolleyes:

[xavier678]

okay, the stock barrel is fairly accrate, i still use it when i play speedball somtimes. I have a 14 J&J ceramic but it is spyder thread and i no longer have a barrel adapter so i am for now, stuck with a stock until i get more money. Anyway, The stock barrel isnt terrible but if you look through it and reflect light, you will see how unshiny it is, kinda course. This makes it kind of inefficent and extremely difficult to shoot through a broken ball. Overall, not terrible but an aftermarket barrel will help much.

tripnote, the reason it is dependable is because it is not finnished like a "better" barrel, scratches make less difference.

As for your question, ttccmm123, if you like the feel of the Tippy 98c, get it. From my experience my Tippy is accurate enough for my tastes. Even with the stock barrel I can shoot pretty accurately, although I don't have as much distance. (DO NOT argue with me on this...ANYONE, I have tested this and my J&J gives me more distance. Thank you)

I have a 14" J&J Ceramic and I get 12 inch groupings at 30-40 feet firing as fast as I can (which will be stated again..multiple times). Firing slower I get even better. But, like I said, if you like the feel, go with it.

Go to this link...Review on the Tippmann Custom Model 98 (http://www.pbreview.com/421/1/0/)

Now, onto argue with a couple people...

Have you ever shot a tippy? By your post, I would say no. The stock barrel is actually pretty freaking accurate for me. I don't know what you were doing wrong (even if you have shot one..) but it works flawlessly for me. With my J&J ceramic I get 12 inch groupings at 30-40 feet firing as fast as I can. Notice I said firing as fast as I can. Please, learn what you are talking about before you diss on something.

Alright buddy, you need to learn something here. DON'T GET PISSED AT THE NEWBIES. You were a newbie once, I'm sure you thought the SAME thing. Give them a break, with time newbies will replace us guys that know what we are doing (which it sure doesn't look like you're one of us). Thank you.

Ok you say not to make it another flatline sucks thread. Guess what you did? FLAMED the flatline. Either stop posting here or seriously learn what you're talking about.

The flatline CAN be accurate, it has to be installed PERFECTLY, but it CAN be very accurate. Please do not argue with me because I have seen a flatline in action that was VERY accurate, even at longer distances.

You are seriously getting on my nerves with your posting like you know something when, well..you don't. So like I said, go learn a few things then come back.

GG THANKS BYE.

****Mods, if this isn't appropriate, please tell me and I will edit it****

I'll take care of the warning around here. And one IS going to be handed out.

correction...
tippy=most reliable
cocker=most upgradeable

[holyhandgrenade]

i agree with haze's thought that a cocker is way more upgradeable than a 98 or 98c

as for accuracy, with the stock barrel, awful if you get a good aftermarket barrel the accuracy will greatly improve, i would recomend against a flatline, they cost way too much for the price i would suggest either a jnj ceramic, or a smart parts teardrop ( i have one on my 98) i have heard very good things about the ceramic and i know the teardrop works well
( both barrels cost around half what a flatline does)
almost forgot, lapco makes awsome barrels, very cheap for the performance

personally i thought the accuracy of the 98 was lacking and was holding me back so i got a cocker and could not be happier, for alot of people a 98 is fine tho

i would recomend a 98 or 98c ( go with the 98c) highly to you, they are very reasonably priced, a great gun for people just getting into the sport, and the best part is, is cannot break one, they will always work

[LadderingABC_Yu]

if u're gonna stick w/ the tippy say 4ever
u're gonna b spending a lot on money on upgrades
b/c u have to buy adapters
like 4 an xp cham u have to buy vertical adapters
and i think tippmann should make it a standard for their 98c to come w/ double trigger
then they should come up w/ a hinge trigger so tippy can be used in speedball

[Crime Dog]

Funny, but I always held my own in speedball with the Tippmann Custom 98 that I owned... And I didn't have a hinge trigger. Heck...I didn't even have a RT or E-Bolt or motorized hopper.

Hm. My Blazer doesn't have a hinge trigger (that I know of) either... A gun can only be useful in speedball if it has a hinge trigger? Heh. Heheheheheheheh. Ooooooooooh K. If you say so!

*shakes his head in disbelief*

[GrayFox]

ive played many of speedball games with my 98 and it has absolutley nothing that even resembles a hinge trigger and i have done fine so it really dosent need to be there

[-=ReD-hAzE=-]

i don't really think LadderingABC_Yu knows what he's talking about... you need a hinge for speedball..? :laugh:

if you say so man...

[Turambar]

Ah, I can smell the newbism in the air. Again I agree with CD. Why? Because he is right. Plain and simple.

I hold my own while playing speedball with my Tippy. Have never actually played on a concept field with my revy either. Tell you something?

Laddering - the ONLY adapter you need to buy for a Tippy is the vert adapter. Also, if Tippmann made it a standard they would be losing money. Plus I know people that don't like the double trigger - so again they would have lost money on those people not buying a Tippy because they don't like the double trigger. Notice no markers come stock with a double trigger? Because it's an upgrade :)


Oh and by the way guys..let's not start the more upgradable arguement again :)

'03 cockers are coming with a hinge...
my flash came with a double trigger...
lots of them come with double triggers...

but its still something they want to make you pay $$$ to get a new one...

Hmmm, seems you are right. Well let me resstate that. Most don't come stock with a double trigger.

[Crime Dog]

Alright, so do we all agree that the question of this thread (being "how accurate is the 98?) has been answered? All in favor say "Aye". If I get one "Aye", the thread is closed (in order to keep it from going further off topic like it already has. Partially my fault. My apologies.)

[GrayFox]

AYE,triggers have nothing to do with accuracy, and what are youall talking about?? TRIGGERS

the answer to the origional question is simple if you but an after market barrell it will be more accurate

[Crime Dog]

I'll second the aye, and therefore the motion is carried, and this thread is closed since the question was answered.
