Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
The 98 Custom paintball gun has a fairly easy trigger pull, handles CO2 well, and rarely chops. However, the barrel starts loosing accuracy after 85-100 feet. An aftermarket barrel is a worthwhile investment. For distance, or as a good sniper barrel, the

5 out of 5 stars The Tippmann 98 Custom   July 25, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

First of all; I am writing this review on my mother's amazon because my account won't let me, and secondly, this isn't one of these reviews where i scream into your ear until you undoubtedly would like to kill yourself.

I got into paintball about a year ago, and began with the use of a spyder compact. After becoming sufficently hooked to the sport of paintballing, I traveled to wal-mart, and dropped the 150+ dollars for a Tippmann 98 Custom. At the time, the price tag seemed rather large, and for a while the gun had little use other than burning holes in my pockets.

Anyways, later I tested this gun out, and found out exactly what it was, a very solid, and durable, well shooting gun. In woodball, this gun in my opinion has no equal, (other than breaking a few hundred dollars,) and for a casual player, (such as myself,) this gun is just perfect, and is rather cheap.

The gun itself comes with the standard little booklet and a small tube of oil, and is pretty straight-forward, and is very standard in its look. But if you are the kind of person that lives to carry around a sweet, but standard firing gun, "limitless" mods and "upgrades" are available to you. From making it look like an M16, to increasing stability and accuracy, there are "limitless" possibilities. (The parenthases around the limitless are there for the fact that nothing is limitless, and the front grip is unremoveable, save the use of a table saw, and the loss of 3-5 fingers.)

Overall, this is a solid well firing gun, and with a few improvements to the stock barrel, and the addition of a stock, (to make it look sweet really,) this gun becomes a very eligable candidate for best all around gun for its price.

Ps. I'm not quite sure this gun could take you to hell and back as a previous reviewer stated, but the gun would definetly come out in better shape than you would.




5 out of 5 stars Amazing Gun, and very customizable   June 26, 2008
All i can say is WOW!
This gun is amazing, I bought it as my first paintball gun I have now added even more guns to my collection. However this gun is still my favorite for woodsball or scenario games. The only thing i'd recommend is buying a new barrel for the gun, I have the J&J performance 14" ceramic. Its a great barrel for an AMAZING gun. Besides oiling (one drop in the ASA) it requires virtually no maintenance and never needs to be taken apart. Its also limitless in the amount that it can be customized, For instance I have added the Electronic Trigger (for full auto and other shooting modes) and a double trigger.

Great gun, worth the price, Only con is that it cant be used for speedball out of the box

I Bought this gun as my first gun, two and a half years later I still use it. My gun never chops and it has never broke or needed some sort of repair, its a very durable gun. No matter what your skill level this is a good gun for a small budget (even if your not on a tight budget its still pretty good). if you are looking for a gun that will last you a long time this is the one for you.

This is a tough 'gun. I have put it through its paces and it keeps on shooting. Great gun for a beginner and fully customizable (for those who like to play with their set-ups). My only complaint is the internal workings... I opened mine up to add a collapsable stock and everything sort of just blew up! It took me a good ammount of time to get things back they way they were supposed to be!
