yah u would be better off with a Tippmann. They are really reliable. They dont have to be maintaned as much as other paintball markers. And there are a unlimited amount of upgrades for the 98 and A5. I know if you do decide to buy a Tippmann ur going to ask, which to buy a 98 or A5, well i owned a 98 for almost a year, and i really liked it but i would rather of had an A5. The 98 and A5 have the same amount of upgrades and you wont have to buy a hopper for the A5 cause it comes with the cyclone. I think the A5 is more comfortable, and it looks better than the 98. It also has no moving external parts, unlike the 98. So if you can afford an A5 i would say go for it and you wont be sorry. And if you do end up getting the Diablo Sabotage ur going to be sorry cause either ur going to buy a new marker in a couple of weeks, or your going to end up fixing something. ------------- *Team Compulsive* Sponsors *Won-Ago-Biking* *Curleys Waterfront* |

II If you are on a real tight budget, I would get that. I warn you, however. it is terribly innacurate, and has a very long trigger pull. But for a workable first marker, I'd go with that if you can't afford a tippmann. |

if you play at a field u could rent a gun just to see if you actually like the sport. But if u no u like it and are on a really tight budget u should look at a Piranha R6 ------------- *Team Compulsive* Sponsors *Won-Ago-Biking* *Curleys Waterfront* |

if you really do like paintball, wait a while and get an A-5 or 98c, it WILL be worth it, and christmas isn't to far, you could just rent guns till then and get a tippy ------------- http://profile.xfire.com/kentuckyfriedgangsta">

ok the victor - poo, it horrible i guy i kno has one, yes hes a noob but w/e, its soo bad, and e-99 avant or a tippman 98c i would say, the spyder is faster but the tippmann is more reliable ------------- |

Well the A Tippmann will be slower but more relaible, The E-99 is very fast and a good gun BUT it might not end up being as relaible as the Tippmann. ------------- (I'm a nob with no clue about almost anything...) |

There are tons of places that you can find a decent marker in Ontario. Wal-Mart has markers, and so does Canadian Tire, but they're crap, and they'll break on you in a week. ------------- A-5 Sniper F-X Stock Flatline Matte Olive Drab/Black Tiger Stripe Paintjob Remote V-Force Profiler |

Yeah,. I would reccomend a Victor II as well,. but be warned,. it has a fifty two pound trigger pull,. You will NEVER hit anywhere close to where you are aiming, it's slow as death itself, 1/2 bps, and it chopps paint like a ginsu knife,.. . Oh yeah,. it leaks like a sieve,. they all do,. Better yet go with the 98c,.

| haha...my friend who owns a tippmann a5 says i should buy guns that's 200$ and lower for beginner so now i think i sohuld stick with that spydr imagine(yes..i knowi change my mind too much) and the dm4 is wayy to pricey for me -.- so yeah i think i'll go with the spyder new imagine04... won't take long for me to get the gun...i just hope that febuary is pssing by really fast then i'll get eough money for a spyder and maybe some upgrades for the bolt,trigger,barrel and maybe a drop |
