spyders aren't as un reliable as every one says.( this is a tippmann forum) If you love taking care of a gun, like oilling it after every game and other stuff, a spyder is not that bad.

but almost nothing care compare with a tippmann's reliableity. ( some people dont oil it for over a year.)

You have to take really good care of them if you want them to be reliable.

Ya they will be fine as long as you take care of them. I've used spiders that were taken care of and they worked fine (except for the ball breaks). I've also used spiders that weren't taken care of and they worked very poorly. I once had one uncock while i was going to bunker some1. I really wouldn't get a eletric spider though, there are just better guns out there for the money.

Spyders are not reliable.  They break constantly.  Tell your cousin to get a Tippmann.

GOOOOOOOO TIPPMANN

That's in' right! Your cousin is family, and you shouldn't let family do bad things. Form an intervention party, and confront your cousin with his "problem..." If you can talk him out of it, have him get an A-5.

spyders are relyable as long as u taks good care of them. the only thing i dont like about them is the stock grip. dont get an electric if hes going to be playing that much buy a rodeo. thats wat i would get

Some of you probably haven't even used them and just quickly say it's trash, they are fine, they get the job done, both Tippmanns and Spyders have their advantages and disadvantages.

Spyders require more TLC than a Tippmann but are easy to maintain.
