Product Description

The TIPPMANN 98 Custom¿ Response with A.C.T. (Anti-Chop technology) is a fully customizable semi-automatic paintball marker. The receiver is manufactured with die cast aluminum. Tippmann's new Anti-Chop Technology is a complete new system consisting of a rear bolt, front bolt and linkage arm with movements that are dictated by the location of a paintball in the chamber prior to firing. If a paintball is fed correctly, the system's front bolt and rear bolt travel together - connected by the linkage arm - to fire the ball. However, if a ball is lodged inside the chamber incorrectly, the front bolt will stop moving forward as soon as it makes the slightest contact with the lodged ball. The rear bolt continues moving forward, but is momentarily disconnected from the linkage arm until it hits the marker's air valve. Upon reaching the air valve, the rear bolt is quickly forced back as it reconnects to the linkage arm, which pulls the front bolt back into firing position. While the two bolts are traveling back together, the lodged ball falls into position and the marker then cycles itself to discharge the ball at normal velocity. Competitive systems are typically just spring-loaded bolts, which require you to re-cock after each ball jam. Shot velocity is maintained with Tippmann's new system because its cycle speed never changes, unlike with spring-loaded Anti-Chop bolts that stall slightly when encountering a lodged ball. In addition, "blowback," a sudden release of trapped air into the hopper that often breaks paintballs and creates a big mess, is also eliminated because Tippmann's Anti-Chop Technology maintains consistent airflow in the marker whether there is a blockage or not. The patented response trigger system is an air-assisted firing system that delivers up to15 balls per second. Marker made in USA

Amazon.com Product Description
There are ordinary paintball markers, and then there are paintball markers that act as extensions of your personality. The Tippmann 98 Custom Response fits squarely in the latter category. The fully customizable semiautomatic marker--which comes with Tippmann's Response trigger system--is compatible with Tippmann's accessory arsenal, including the Flatline barrel system, the sniper barrels, the double trigger kit, the collapsible stock, and the rear-cocking system, among many others. Want to create a paintball marker that represents your style, your game, and your creativity? Look no further. The Response trigger is a particular favorite, as it employs Tippmann's patented technology to deliver air-assisted firing of up to 15 balls per second (BPS).

The Tippmann 98 Custom Response is made of die-cast aluminum with an extra-sturdy finish. More significantly, the marker boasts Tippmann's Anti-Chop Technology (A.C.T.), a system consisting of a rear bolt, front bolt, and linkage arm with movements dictated by the location of a paintball in the chamber prior to firing. If a paintball is fed correctly, the system's front bolt and rear bolt travel together--connected by the linkage arm--to fire the ball. However, if a ball is lodged inside the chamber incorrectly, the system moves the bolts independently until the lodged ball falls into position. Once the ball is back in place, the marker cycles itself to discharge the ball at normal velocity. Not only does the A.C.T. system prevent stalls and "blowback" (a sudden release of trapped air into the hopper), but it also maintains shot velocity, as the cycle speed never changes. It's a must for the serious paintball enthusiast.

Additional features include a quick-release feeder elbow, a removable front grip (for adding an expansion chamber and vertical kits), and a 200-round hopper. The Tippmann 98 Custom Response is fully compatible with CO2, compressed air, or nitrogen and comes with a marker maintenance pack with a barrel sleeve, oil, wrenches, cleaning cable, and spare tank O-ring.
