Which is better?

Which is better the 98C (out of the box) or the Kingman Spyder Rodeo(out of the box)?

Edited by silent_jimbo

yea in what ways

the rodeo has a mech trigg, there is an e-frame version, don't remember what it is called.

if you want a general tip (meaning not 100% accurate all the time but generally accepted):

Rodeo/Spyder in general = better for speedball. smaller length and more of a flashy style, as well as a stock dblfinger trigger will get you ready to speedball. Can be used in woods, but usually do not camouflage very well (unless you can make custom covers out of an old camouflage jacket...). Also very easy to take apart, just pull two pins and you are ready for everything to fall out the back.

98c/Tippmann in general =  better for woodsball or scenario play. Designed to last forever, can usually take hits better from diving into trees and stumps. More elongated design, more like a real rifle, can be modded like crazy to even look like a real rifle. Usually have trouble on smaller courses in staying tucked in due to larger size. In order to dissasemble (at least the 98c), you must remove screws and pull apart the two clamshells. Takes max of 2 mins, but you can't do it on the field.

I know that these are more like guidlines for what you want, hope they help!

ok thanx, al i play is woodsball anyway, so im goin with the tippy

Yeah man if ya play woods get the Tippmann.

Yea i suggest getting the 98c and getting some upgrades to equal to a price of a rodeo

The Tippmann is better quality.  The spyder shoots faster.

well if u get a spyder u will be replacing the whole gun after every game. get a tippmann 98c

Kevin Z wrote: Well, out of the box it is a tossup. We can debate all day which is better. However, A year from now the Tippmann will still be working, like the day you bought it. A year from now the Spyder will be worn out, replacing the O-rings will not fix it, the plastic in the handle will be brittle and break when you pick it up. In short, you will be looking for another marker.

that is so true i had a spyder and in one game it got shot in the handle and it brok the plastic and it started to spark. it happend at the right to thu bc i was wonting to get a new gun. hehe
