hey, i was wondering if the a5 was as reliable as the 98c? i had a 98 c for awhile and then moved to a cocker and now a adrenalin impulse, but all of my friends who have 98 c wont play me with my adrenalin, ( go figure, lol) i was wondering on the reliablty factor how good it is ? and i would be thankful if you guys wouldnt post none of the 'just get it', or 'its good,' i will be using a JJ barrel with it, and where could i find the lowest price for one?

read the reviews section.
i don't have one, but i'm pretty sure that reliability issues have been fixed. namely, the cyclone.

the review section isnt worth very much to me, i mean people always tend to get the gun, shoot it right out of the box, if its good give it a 10, if theres something wrong give it a 1, and so on,

HEY,
In my opinion, they are great guns. Ive been shot by one a few times.lol Its really good with the flatline barrel, but the J&J is good too. Good luck and happy hunting.

well, i think they're fine guns, though i like 98c's better. after all, its a tippy. there are some reasonable reviews, look through a few pages.
edit: use froogle for the best price. www.froogle.com.
my money is on countypaintball.com for the best price.

you should just put that in your sig and save yourself the hassle of typing it every time you post. :neener:
The A5 and 98 are the same except for the Cyclone feed system. They have the same internals and pneumatics. The problem you face now is whether YOU feel the cyclone is worth the price difference between the A5 and the 98. IF you already have a good hopper, dont spend the extra $$ to get the A5, just put your hopper on a 98.
The A5 is a great marker though, just to answer your question. Its worth it.

Read the stickies! Please!
I can't tell you how many "how good is the A5?????????????" threads there are and half of them are stickied. At least the most important ones are. And yes the reviews are a little biased but if the majority of them say the same thing then there may be a pattern, doncha think?
