All Tippman products are very simple, reliable and perform well in any condition. IMO - stay away from electrokneumatic markers. They may perform better but cost goes uphill and reliability goes downhill.
I think Dick’s still carries the Tippman 68 special around $140. That should do the trick.
I like my Spyder. I’ve used Tippman’s before and they are a bit better. Although the ones I’ve used were pump action and my Spyder is semi auto. Two different classes really. You go through less balls with pump action too.
all depends on which electro you get. I know angels are probably the most reliable gun out there… they also cost over 1000 how much do you want to spend and how into the game are you? tippman is definitely a good choice for a real good price. back when i played constantly my favorite weapon was the autococker, but they are pretty complicated compared to something like a tippmann and also cost a good bit more.
i don’t have any… brad may know someone, if not you can get them for very good prices on ebay with everything you would need to play, like mask, hopper…
autocockers, automags, angels, etc. are on the higher end of the spectrum, all of which you dont need if you’re just playing in the woods with a few friends
ps- JeffWells and electro in the same sentance…nothing good can come of that :cough:emanage:cough:
If you’re interested I’ll sell my spyder. It’s about 6 years old so it may need new seals but it was only used maybe 10 times. When I bought it, it was a limited edition. It’s all black. I have a 12oz bottle with the handle adapter thing. If you are remotely interested I’ll get pics and a model number and see how it fires (assuming my bottle still has air)
where are you gonna play i would like to play more often… maybe we could set up a pittspeed meet… that would be cool … brokeasskorream has the tippman a5 fully auto and stuff
I haven’t used a recent Spyder so I can’t compare but my gun was always good for me. When I played it suited me perfect. I have no complaints with it at all.
Of course I started playing with a Brass Eagle Talon… haha… the only way thats fun is if EVERYONE has that gun… then it’s fair. But who wants fair… everyone just wants to win.
