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 the successor to the Model 98. The 98C is considered by many to be one of the most reliable markers ever created. It requires relatively little maintenance. The 98C is known for its ease of use, durability, and reliability, making it an appealing choice for newcomers to the sport. The simple design allows players to play the game, rather than constantly monitoring their equipment. Of course, as a player finds his/her niche on the field, aftermarket upgrades and modifications allow a 98C owner to completely customize their marker to their playing style. Like all Tippmann markers, the 98C sports an iron-sight system commonly found on firearms. The sights can prove useful depending on the conditions. 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. Overall, the 98C is an adaptable woodsball marker, excellent for newcomers and advanced players alike. The 98 Custom can also be modified for Speedball . 98 Customs have the ability to be upgraded with an electric bolt and Board , and take advantage of a Power Loader . Another feature of the 98 series of guns is their clam-shell design. By removing the six bolts on the left side of the marker you can dismantle the gun into two halves or shells. This allows users a very easy method of cleaning and maintaining the internals of the gun. The only part not revealed or easily cleaned is the valve, but this part is generally low maintenance. The marker is now being offered with Tippmann's Anti Chop Technology(ACT) system. To prevent balls from chopping, the rod connection the bolt and the hammer floats slightly above the hammer in a long notch so if the bolt hits resistance, the bolt stops moving while the hammer continues cycling. The user will hear the sound of dry-fire. This system has been very effective in preventing ball chopping, which was a common problem in original 98 customs.
