Ok I just upgraded to a 68/3000 nitro tank and I want to get a drop that will make my gun a lot shorter I have a 98 custom and i just wanted to know what kind I should get

[NavyPilot21]

- You should look into the Dead On Paintball Pro Style Drop Forward, perfect for holding NITRO.



_ I was looking into 98C barrels and I brought it down to two of the best, the 98 Flatline Barrel or the 98 Stiffi, The Flatline puts a backspin on the ball, but is heavy and noisy, and the stiffi is light and quiet but you cant clean it, what would you reccomend for woodsball, they both run the same price.

[Newman's Tippy]

umm 2 things u can deffinatly clean any barrel but w/e and i say neither n just settle on a J&J

[NavyPilot21]

Why not either of those, I looked at the J&J but the weakness is has it is ceramic

[Smitty]

And the problem with ceramic is?

[Torch]

It's an aluminum barrel, coated with ceramic. The pores in the ceramic are filled with teflon making for a very slick inside surface. If you're worried about it breaking because it isn't fully made of metal, don't.

[NavyPilot21]

THere is no o-ring meaning loose and the paint chips away

[Smitty]

Kats has an oring....yours must be missing. And hers has endured some harsh woodsball with no chips. Hey anyhoo are you a real navy pilot and are you in my area? (cuz so many are) If you are lets play.

[NavyPilot21]

Really? Because everyone on review sites said it had no oring- and if it dosent, can I add one.

[Stumpz]

What is the best upgrades i can get for $150??

[Torch]

For which tippmann? And what did it have on it stock?

New barrels are almost always a good upgrade.

[Newman's Tippy]

well assuming everything stock for a 98c get a J&J ceramic barrel(14"or 12") R/T and with any xtra money get a double trigger, after that assuming its a 98 custom get a new hopper

[Stumpz]

thanks

ok well i was on xpaintball and i found a new shocktech supah fly tippmann 98/A5 bolt is this a good buy?

If u go to the bottom of pase on the right side there is this little movie type thing to keep ur eyes peeled just click that its the second bolt

[n00bshooter]

meh so-so. it is a little bit lighter and allows a little more air flow, and runs a little smoother. So if you have $20 to throw around sure, but if your Tippmann's stock and you're tight on cash spend your money elsewhere like on a double trigger or a drop.

[Newman's Tippy]

so noob u sayin since i have a double trigg to get a drop instead of bolt

[ramfan5.9]

does a dropforward have any performance advantegdes


and hwo much do they cost

[paintthecatBLUE]

a bolt is not going to do you much good. despite any myths and advertisements, a new bolt will not increase accuracy, or actually do much of anything to your performance. delrin bolts never need to be oiled and they allow for a smoother operation, but unless you are using your tippy in serious tournament play, you don't need a new bolt... its just something rich people buy to squeeze every last drop of performance out of a gun that isnt all that great to begin with. get a new barrel, or the Ricochet R5 hopper (for the A5) or some electronic hopper if you have a 98c, maybe even buy a nitro tank.

edit: and a drop forwards doesnt really increase performance, but it can balance out the weight of the gun. it makes it more comfortable to hold your gun, and its actually a good idea to get one on a tippmann because tippmanns are very long guns. if you move the tank up with a drop forwards, you can then hold the whole gun closer to your body, and decrease your profile, and therefore decrease your chances of being hit.

^^^^
exactly why drops are good. and yeah; drop > bolt.
