Which paintball gun is better?

Question

Tippman 98 or 08 Piranha GTI with eyes and rampage board? Explain. Top rating to best answer. Thanks!

Answer 1

Well the tippmann will never break, you can throw it off a 3 story building, go pick it up and shoot it without problems, and it is very upgradeable, you can do some custom modding and add eyes, or just get the act version and you will never chop. I've seen 98 custom so heavily modded with around $600 dollars into them that can outshoot most high end guns like dm's and angels, although thats extreme, its just an example of what you can do to it.

The piranha is a cheap spyder clone that will break easily, if you want a STB (stacked tube blowback) just spring for a used spyder (although i wouldnt recommend that either)

So i would buy the tippmann 98 custom. If you want a more speedball type gun without modding or upgrading then i suggest buying a PMR (proto matrix rail) for about 275, its well worth the money, awsome stock and even better upgraded, the only downside is you need to run it off low pressure air (i think its something like 200 psi stock! really good!) which can be costly to setup (small tanks are over 70 bucks alone).

Answer 2

Tippmann 98C will be better for woodsball.

The 08 Piranha GTI is not nearly as reliable or upgradable as the 98C and the safety switch on them is flimsy (not safe).  Due to its design, the 08 Piranha GTI will be a bit better for speedball.

The Tippmann 98C is the AK47 of paintball guns being virtually indestructible, highly upgradable, and reliable.

I've had my 98C for just over 7 years now and put about 500,000 shots though it and only just recently replaced a $5 sear and $5 hammer spring.  Has always worked perfectly.  

The 08 Piranha GTI won't last nearly as long.

Answer 3

The 08 Piranha GTI is so much better than the other one.

my brother has one & he says it is the best paintball gun in History.

It isn't as bulky as the Tippman either.

:D
