since the beginning of time. The Tippmann 98 Platinum has to be their
flagship gun as it can be seen in just about every store and paintball
field in the world. This paintball gun is the field owner's rental
paintball gun of choice, as it is one of the easiest guns on the market
to maintain and fix if anything does go wrong. The Tippmann 98 Custom
Platinum can hold up to a beating. These guns are meant to withstand
any condition - rain, sleet or snow. The Tippmann 98 Custom Platinum
also has a great feel in your grip with the front handle setup away
from the hosing. If you want a paintball gun that can stand up to any
condition, takes minimal maintenance, and still shoots like a mid level
gun, then the 98 Custom Platinum is the way to go. If you're entering
the paintball world for the first time and want a gun in the entry
level price range that's going to perform at par or better, than this
gun's for you.
Tippmann 98 Custom Act- Benefits/additions
The biggest addition with Tippmann's ACT system is the ability to break
little to no paint in any condition. ACT stands for anti chop
technology and essentially what it does is make it so the bolt is a lot
softer when it hits the paintball causing in less ball breakage.
Tippmann’s new 98 Custom Platinum Series is now easier to upgrade, modify and maintain.
New Features Include:
Split Receiver Design, which provides easier access to internal components for simplified installation of grip upgrades and modifications
Secure Front Sight Spring and Trigger Pins, which makes the marker easier to service and reassemble
Easy-to-Remove Power Tube Design with
self-sealing/locking gas line secures the valve in place and eliminates
two bolts from previous design making maintaining the marker quicker
and easier
Full Depth Pockets for ASA, which eliminates the need to loosen the ASA bolts when disassembling the marker
New Barrel Porting and a Matte Finish, which improves marker air efficiency and reduces reflective glare
Picatinny Rails, which makes adding a carry handle, scopes and other accessories a snap
