NOOO dont buy a viewloader! they suck, buy a good old tippmann 98 custom. its durrable, reliable, and n00b friendly. Its a great starter gun.

Well, i have about $350 CAD and I would like to buy a 98C cuz it was the first gun I ever used and I loved it, but I dont know where to get one in the Ottawa region, and my parents dont like ordering over the internet. Essentially, I play woodsball/CTF, and a little speedball. I tried speedball with the 98c and sucked (Maybe it was because it was my first time) but I dont exactly have tons of money. I would mind take a 98c and getting a double trigger, expansion chamber, and maybe a few other bits. THanks

You know my dad uses a Viewloader Genesis, and he plays with my friends, and he gets people with shockers, nerves and timmies out, and it was $35.  They arent bad guns, they are just less reliable.  My dad doesnt even take good care of it, he wipes it with water to clean it and thats it.

pUncuationzz is your firendzz 
1. Spyders are low end poopy guns.
2. Brass Eagles were awesome guns at one time. Im sure DeTrevni would be glad to show you his Rainmaker compared to your Spyder.

Translation: Buckwheat, there was no reason to resurrect this thread as the original poster has probably made up his mind by now.

look into the spyder VS2/VS3 good for Speedball or woodball. and since its a sear tripper you can use CO2 in it. they cost about $150-$250.
1 paintball gun package=$150
1 case of paint=$50
air & entry fee=$15

I have played with a few guns mainly my tippmann 98c and my autococker trilogy.  My friends however use spyders and i have tried theirs and personaly dont like them. I do think the Trilogy is a great gun though it rugged enough for woodsball and fast enough for a new guy a xball plus it user friendly.  i also think that a tippmann with a god hopper and response trigger is as good or mabey better but that can be pricey
