ok, ive owned a paintball gun once, but it sucked (brass eagle avenger). i was debating on rather to get a package or a good marker. Marker- 32 degrees Icon-Z, or a Spyder Xtra? Package- Vexor paintball gun with paintballs hopper ,88 gram Co2, mask, and unclogger or a Brass Eagle Viewloader VL Triad Paintball Marker Kit that comes with a 9 ounce, mask, electric hopper, squeegee, and barrel plug so tell me whats better out of the marker and packages, then tell me if i should get either the marker or package. P.S. theses are all around the same cost. Thnx for your help, plzz reply ------------- Only noobs know how to waste all of his Co2 and Paintballs in 1 hour!! :) |

| Hello and welcome to the forum. I would go with the Spyder. It's a good entry level gun that can be upgraded to whatever you need later. Parts and upgrades are readily available. The other reason is that you will have to piece together the rest of your equip. It will cost you a little more but you will then have good equip. that will stay with you awhile, i.e. Kit masks tend to fog and are uncomfortable. You can go out and try on the masks and get a good one. Get a 20oz. bottle($15-20) right off the bat instead of getting it later. A hopper that you want i.e. VL Revy 12v.($50) or just a gravity feed ($5.00) This will allow you to upgrade as needed. If this is too expensive they do make a Syder xtra kit also. Paintball can be expensive so I always use the try before you buy rule to help lessen expensive mistakes. Have a good one. |

Yea, i'd recommend the Tippmann over the Spyder any day of the week, they are much more reliable. -------------

Out of those the best is the Xtra. But not because you are on the Tippmann forum but it's because it's true. Get a 98 custom. I have an Xtra and it constantly jams for no reason. If you've had a gun before no matter what the 98c is an excellent choice.

| Check around at your local paintball shop if you have one, or the internet otherwise. You can pick up a Tippmann 98 Custom package deal pretty reasonably. |

Go with either of the single markers. Both guns described in the packages are bad and you will be disapointed this them again. Out of the two markers, I would pick the spyder. It is a great gun for new players and a great first gun. Just don't be to rough on it.
If you can pick a different gun then the ones you mentioned, get a Tippmann. Get the 98c, it is way better then any of the guns you have listed. The 98c comes in a powerpack with everything you need, hopper, mask, tank, ect. It is not that expensive either, only $180. ------------- http://img204.imageshack.us/my.php?image=260991706090alb8rs.jpg">
