Which gun is better

Heyya!

Asking this question is sorta dumb because you are on a Tippmann Forum and the A-5 is a Tippmann marker.

I'd say personal preferance. Both are fast, both will probably be reliable, but the Spyder is more of a...speedball gun I suppose, though both can work well in the woods or arena.

Good luck!

Heyya

In all actuality, the milled, single-piece recievers of the Spyder are stronger than the clam-shell cast recievers of the A-5 or 98 Custom.

And many Spyders cost less than a 98 Custom, and very few are plastic.

It's better to say, "I do not like them." ;)

Good luck!

                         go with the spyder and install ur own eyes.

Nice looking gun but 30 bps and it doesnt have eyes

A5

Heyya!

Spyders can readily be adapted to use ACE or a custom bolt that prevents chopping. A hopper that can keep up with your trigger speed will also suffice, considering you probably won't be shooting over 20bps (bps claims usually= bps minus the p).

Anyway, buggy, I've owned three 98 Customs, a Procarbine, and two A-5s. I've owned three Spyders, a One, Victor, and E-99.

Guess what? The 98 Customs are a pain to work on, to install a VA, etc. The Carbine runs great. The A-5s ran...alright. The Cyclone kept getting out of line on one and the tombstone leaked on the other so the latter was quickly sold. The only problem with the Spyders was on the One, it tended to have bolt stick.

Anyways, good luck!

me and my neighbor were actually looking at the electra today and found that it is very reliable  on kingman.com it is like 330 or something but on Actionvillage.com it is like 290

i thought it was weird how they would put out 30bps when you would never ever need that.  the most i would need is around 12 or 11 not 30. 

 Also i think the electra is a better buy because it is higher quality. example no plastic power tubes and unpolished milling and a crap ball detent. dont get me wrong....I still love tippy's but in this case go with an electra.

*edit* dont get rt because most fields dont even allow it
