Don't forget about Tippmann's great customer service!

Exactly!  I sent in my old rusted out Pro/Am (long story) and they cleaned her up (better than I could), installed Pro/Lite internals and got her back up and running!  All they charged me for was parts and shipping.  They had to do some machining to get the new internals to fit which took time.  Got her back in 5 days.  That was some fast work for that kind of turn-around time.

tippmann has a better diseign than a spyder, most spyders have the elbow right in theline of sight and they are really shiny so the stick at woodsball. They are the same accuracy if you got a new barrel, but the spyders are not as easly upgradeable as tippmanns and tippmanns are built more durable.

Yeah, you can do a LOT more to a Spyder than people think. Probably more than a Tippmann...

I will give Tippmann more durability though.

The true advantage to a tippmann marker lies in the construction of the CVX valve versus the spyders using a classic Sherridan valve set-up. Liquid CO2 doesn't cause nearly as many problems with tippmann markers due to the fact that the valve has been engineered for optimal performance regardless of the weather conditions. Kingman, on the other hand, is using technology that is over 20 years old and cup-seals that are fairly hard and affected easily by the cold. Both are very upgradable since the advent of sear-tripping e-frames. Tippmann has the RT system which allows you to upgrade fire-power without needing to go electronic.

All in all, both are fine markers for the price, but when it comes to innovation, durability, and reliability in less-than-perfect conditions, tippmanns win out.

didnt know that last bit by tallen but hey sounds like a hell of a reason why tippy would come out on top over spiders. not to mention the customer service being second to none
