The Tippmann 98 Custom is one of the best selling paintball markers, very popular with rental sites and many entry level players will have used this marker. It has become so popular due to its hardy casing and ability to resist bumps and scrapes. The marker is a very basic entry level marker, featuring a simple blow back bolt and the ability to be used on CO2 and HPA. The marker is most common in either scenario players or rental sites. Durability is a major feature although i also is one of the most dependable markers you can buy.

The marker is one of the most customizable markers on the market with hundreds of upgrade options from barrels to bolts. The marker is semi automatic meaning that one pull of the trigger is one shot, and two pulls is two shots. this means that users can fire as little or as much as they like much more than if they where to use an electronic marker.

The marker is built in two halves meaning it is easy to strip and rebuild perfect for beginners and the less experienced not to mention pro’s, the pure stability of this marker is astonishing. the way that it can be thrown, beaten and battered and still fire in a straight line is impressive. I think that the main feature of this marker is its durability, although it is a recommendation to upgrade the barrel and add a drop forward it is a perfect marker for anyone who wishes to start paintball.

The marker does its best to prevent chops and the latest model does this well, although older well used markers seem to chop and break a lot of paint and this is something any new player should watch for. The feed rate of 8 bps is suitable for all scenario and woodsball meaning you can either go slow and steady or unload on the enemy.

This marker is a fantastic all round marker and perfect for all entry, mid and pro level players, the marker is one of the best you can buy and certainly the most reliable.
