User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars good for starters
Alright for starters its the 98, so if you are just starting out, or comming back from a long break, i would say go for it, its the newest version of one of the most reliable paintball guns on the market, so you cant go too wrong with it. however there are a couple of things that you should be aware of before you get this.(if you actually take the time to read all this it will be helpful, i promise)
Marker: when i bought this marker i also bought a movie stock/flatline barrell and a red dot scope. it was all nice and good apart from the fact that you can not screw the barrell in all the way, it leaves you with a nasty gap, that makes your balls go everything but straight. fix this by loosening the 2 front bolts close to the barrell then it will screw the rest of the way in, but be warned u will have to do this every time you want to remove the barrell to clean.
Mask: the other guy is right, the mask shone is pretty much nothing like the one it comes with. the mask is liquid silver and has great optics, and is pretty easy to clean, however, it scratches very easily so be careful with it.
Podpack: the pod pack is actually pretty nice, though excessive. it does sag when fully loaded which becomes rather heavy, i pretty much have 3 suggestions to fix this. 1. dont ever put a spare tank in the tank hold, because that is where most of your weight comes from. 2. only use 4 of the 6 pods because honestly u shouldnt need 6 pods in one game anyway, that is just a waste of paint and money, unless ur packing for a team of 3. 3. finially the last and best option, is buy a pair of suspender straps, it already has hook ups for them, then u will barely notice the weight even if the pack is totially full.
tank/hopper: the hopper is a grav feed, which just sucks all around, as far as gravity feeds go, its fine, the tank however is a 20 once spyder tank, which is nice, though heavy and will sometimes loosten ur air feed, which is easily tightened back up again.
thats pretty much all i have to say about it, its a great gun and i havent really had any mechanicle problems with it at all, it rarely chops balls, and takes little matenance to keep it up and running like new.
5 Stars Great set.
the set itself is great. good buy and comes with everything you need.some people were saying that they got a different, better mask. i did not, mine is exactly like the one in the picture and its pretty much complete garbage but i expected that so i ordered a much nicer one when i ordered this set. i did however get a nicer hopper.still gravity fed of course but has a longer sleeker design so its not as awkward and less likely to have paint break on it. finally the gun itself is great. the hopper mount fits tight unlike the old 98 and the built in rail and strap hook are nice too. i feel like the gun is a little heavier than the old ones but thats ok, its not a big difference. my one complaint is that it took much longer to come than originally listed.
