The Tippmann 98 Custom, also called the 98C, 98 Custom, and simply the 98, is an open-bolt inline blowback marker designed especially for the sport of paintball. It is manufactured by the pneumatics company Tippmann.

Description

The 98C is known for its ease of use, durability, and reliability, making it an appealing choice for newcomers to the sport. Many woodsballers say that it is the best entry level marker because it is so cheap, customizable, and durable. It is a excellent choice for any player. The 98C uses an iron-sight system commonly found on firearms. By depressing the front sight, the player can unhinge the feedneck, allowing for easy access to the firing chamber, thus allowing for fast in-game cleaning.

The 98 Custom can also be modified for speedball, using an e-bolt, which replaces the rear bolt with a air-powered ram, or, more commonly, an E-trigger which uses circuitry to trigger a solenoid which in turn trips the sear in set firing modes (the E-trigger is sometimes restricted on fields). When firing at high rates of fire (10+ BPS), a power loader is highly desirable for reliable feeding.

Another feature of the 98c is that by removing the six bolts on the left side of the mark you can dismantle the gun into two halves. This allows users a very easy method of cleaning and maintaining the internals of the gun.

The marker is now being offered with Tippmann's anti-chop system, ACT (Anti-Chop Technology) . To prevent balls from chopping, or bursting before it leaves the gun, the rod connection and the bolt floats slightly above the hammer in a long notch so if the bolt hits resistance, the bolt stops moving while the hammer continues cycling. This system has answered a common problem of ball chopping from original 98 customs.

The Tippmann 98 Custom also has a large number of upgrades and accessories, ranging from more accurate barrels to consistent regulators. The Flatline Barrel System adds extended range (~100ft give or take) to the 98c by creating a backspin on the paintball. The Cyclone Feed System, found stock on the A-5 and X-7, uses excess gas from firing to cycle a spinning agitator to feed a paintball into the chamber after each shot.

Custom Pro

The Tippmann 98 Custom Pro is an upgraded version with the same basic look as a Tippmann 98 Custom but comes with a 11 inch barrel, double finger trigger, drop forward, and A.C.T. (Anti-Chop Technology) standard on new models (also standard on all NEW 98C's).
