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 ------------- http://img25.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img25&image=mysnowboard9md.jpg">

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. -------------

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 lighting up newbies all day long= Priceless |

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
