A5 is definite the gun to go. I would recommend the custom if you dont want to spend over 175. My friend has teh custom 98, its very reliable.

I got my stuff from paintballgears.com I recommend nitro/compress air. carbon tank if you can afford it or steel 3000 psi (preset is important !!!)

there are a lot of terms in paintball but like pricewatch.com there is a paintballwatch.com. Are you going to be playing a lot ?

pretty good mask are the JT proteus - looks great but around 69. But for 35 bucks u can get teh JT Nvader.. goto paintballgears.com and check it out..

heres my paintball stufff

The A5 is nice, but make sure with any tipman you get that you get the flatline barrel, I've used it, and played with others that use it and it makes a huge difference.

Not sure which one is better, but, I own a Model 98.
I can tell you that it's a reliable, sturdy marker with acceptable accuracy and a good rate of fire right out of the box.
Hope that helps a little.

:( I still have my Autococker and AutoMag. Autococker had a lot of money sunk into it and I have seen the gun in almost 1 1/2 years, been in the gun case.

Damn, I miss the sport.
