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. ---

That should do the trick. 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. ---

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) ---

> [@JeffWels](#): > > spyders 6 years ago were built way better then spyders are now. 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. ---
