Tippmann 98 Custom Platinum Paintball Marker

The Tippmann 98 Custom is one of the best markers around for the price. Top quality, always ready to go with very little maintenance needed. Easy to repair and replace O-rings and oil for a tune up. Can't beat it.

This product is one of the most customizable markers on the market today. It's also one of the most reliable which is why so many fields use them as rentals. Originally, I had the drop in electronic kit but soon realized that it was more than I needed, even on a professional level. So I dropped it out and went back to basics. Besides, any experienced player knows that with good trigger manipulation you can make up for it, and it only takes a single shot to end your opponents day. Full Auto is great for defensive players who need to lay suppressive and grazing fire but for an offensive player it's not really needed. Another nice feature is the removable elbow which allows for quicker cleaning for ball breakages. The balance is pretty good, a little front heavy but the expansion chamber or fore-grip makes up for it. I recommend that you upgrade your stock barrel. The longer the barrel, the more friction occurs between the barrel and the paintball. And consequently more air pressure is needed to force the paintball out of paintball barrels. I use a 12" 32 Degrees Ice Cold Medium Bore Barrel which is just that, Ice Cold!!! With your velocity set at 285 fps and the use of quality (Diablo Blaze) medium bore paintballs this barrel shows no mercy. Don't waste your time trying to hide because with this barrel you should dominate the field.

The Tippmann 98 Custom paintball marker is one of the greatest paintball guns for beginners to experts! This is because of the simple and very reliable design of the marker. There are very few moving parts and no electrical or exotic mechanisms in this gun, which could fail or be costly over time. This is why you can purchase this paintball marker relatively cheap when compared to others. The best quality for this marker is how customizable it is! If you’re into big scenario games you could buy accessories to make the Tippmann 98 look like an M16, AK47, Sniper rifle. If you’re more into speed ball you could equip it with an electronic or double trigger or even a response trigger, which turns the Tippmann fully auto without the use of electronics! You can swap out the internals with precision parts for greater accuracy and efficiency! With all of the different ways to customize the Tippmann 98 you could be a beginner playing with a $150 Tippmann 98, or a an advanced player equipped with a decked out $600 Tippmann 98!

I purchased this paintball marker because I heard it was very reliable and excellent for starters. What I heard was true; this paintball gun is very sturdy and well built. It shoots accurately and powerfully. Its the ideal paintball gun for me and I really couldn't ask for more. This was one of the best buys I've ever done on eBay; the gun was brand new with all/extra accessories and I got it for half the price. If you are interested in paint balling and want to buy your first marker, I highly recommend getting this one!
