I would have to rate this marker a 9.5

Pros: ROF (rate of fire), Durable, Accurate with new barrel, Looks great, Low profile, Reliable.

Cons: price, slight air hog, loud.

Reccomended Upgrades: New barrel (flatline) and if you are running Co2 you need to get an expansion chamber preferably the sub-zero 6 stage but i would also recommend getting HPA if may be expensive but it is worth it in the long run.

I love my A-5! Its a great all around marker and with a new barrel. It can be the best marker around. I would suggest getting a Flatline or All American 2002 barrel.

Conclusion: One of the best markers around.

I would have to give this marker a 9.0

Pros: Looks, Customizable, Fairly lightweight, Accurate, Durable, Price...

Cons: Hard to field strip, Small parts, Stock Barrel, Not compact.

Reccomended Upgrades: New barrel (j&j ceramic)

Over all, this was a great marker for an extrordinary price. It almost never breaks balls and it is so accurate. I have one of these as a back up to my A-5 and sometimes i will use the 98c just for the fun of it but with the right upgrades it can be made almost just as good as the A-5

Conclusion: If you cant afford a A-5, get this, it is almost just as good.

I would have to give this marker a 8.5

Pros: Accurate, Distance, Consistant.

Cons: Liquid co2 can form easily, Hard to find, Loud

For the price its ok, but it's not the best marker. If you are a newbie and want a good gun for a low price, get this. But you will want a better marker in the long run.

I would have to give this gun a 8.0

Pros: Light, Cheap, Not an air hog, Easy to maintain

Cons: Bolts loosen easily, Stock barrel sucks, color is too bright, Loud

Reccomended Upgrades: Barrel, Expansion Chamber.

This thing is very inexpensive and an ok marker. If you are a newbie this is the gun for you. My friend got one and he probly got a whole **** load out of one Co2 tank it was amazing, but he kind of fell when he was in the woods lol it was funny and he snapped the trigger gaurd he didnt break it off but it is cracked in oone spot it kind of is annoying but it is just one price to pay for this amazing marker.

conclusion: If you dont want to buy a 200.00 marker and just want to get something cheap that shoots great go for this gun it is completely worth it.

This gun gets a 8.5

Pros: Extremely Durable, Fairly Accurate with so-so barrel, VERY GAS EFFECIENT, Has the M-16 look and feel...

Cons: Chops Balls while firing like a madman (heh), Not a very good gun for speedball, Hopper really sticks out, and it's actually pretty heavy without any upgrades...

Reccomended Upgrades: 12" barrel (choose wisely) and a Ricochet AK Hopper

Conlusion: Very great gun overall, I would love to get this baby, but I am well, drained of cash....
