Hey guys, I'm debating between a 98 Custom and an A5. I've had two 98 Customs in the past year. But I'm sort of interested in picking up an A5. My only question is this: does the cyclone feed system stick out pretty far? There aren't any in my area that I can look at to see for myself so I was wondering if there's something else it can be compared too. It looks big to me and therefore a decent target for someone else. I'd like to be proved wrong. If the cyclone isn't too big I think I might save for an A5. Thanks guys.

I shot an A-5 a couple of times and it sticks out about 1.5 inches or smaller, it's not that big someone correct me if I'm wrong.

That link didn't work...it took me to an error page. Thanks though Kampfer. :)

Edit: Does the A5 have it's own threads for barrel? Or should I look for something like a 98 or Prolite threaded barrel?

Maybe the site is down.
But trust me, cyclone isn't bigger than other hoppers.

the a5 uses normal tippmann threads, not those hideous 98 threads.

The 98 threads rock man. If by chance I have a ball break I don't wanna take forever just to screw off the barrel.
