i am probably gonna go with the evlution2. its not too expensive and it looks pretty cool. under the description it asks if i want to get the battery with it.  is it a back up battery or do i need to get it?

It takes 9 volt batteries so by selecting yes, you would get the battery with it instead of having to get one seperate.

Evlutions, or eggs as they are called, suck, from what I hear. I've heard they are delicate, and break easy if you're not careful. So if you do get it, expect some repairs in your future.

Eggs are just as strong as their namesake.

Save up for a Halo.

I had an "Egg" with my RT and it chopped like crazy, I would not reccomend it, I'd reccomend some kind of agitated hopper instead, like the Empire agitated hopper, or even a "revvy".

I've had an Egg on my NME for almost two years and haven't had any major problems with it.  The only minor problem I have had with it, is it over agitating.  Which is usually fixed by simply firing one ball and then it stops.

The cyclone is honestly your best bet, i mean, you have a tippmann, take advantage of the technology that won't work on any other guns.

Other than that, the egg2 should serve you well, but the ricochet apache will be stronger and look much better.  Eggs are essentially the budget speed hopper, so don't expect it to stay in one piece for long.

Similar story for me.

Battery door broke (always does!) shell cracked, lid snapped on one side, finally the lid broke completely off.
