E-99s are good beginner guns out of the box, especially if you are beginning, plus you can get a T-Board and increase the rate of fire, plus the trigger i saw a guy step hard and it fire so it has a sensetive trigger ------------- Tippmann A5 Freak barell kit Egrip trigger Comp-air LPR System X 68/4500 nitro tank |

THEY ARE BOTH GOOD GUNS BUT IF IT WERE ME I WOULD GET THE E99 AVANT BECAUSE I KNOW TWO PEOPLE WIT DRAGUNS ONE A FIRE AND ONE A T.E.S AND BOTH ARE FAIRLY NEW AND BOTH HAVE THERE OWN PROBLEMS THE FIRE ALWAYS JAMS AND THE T.E.S HAS BEEN COMPLEATLY REBUILT BECAUSE OF PROBLEMS LIKE JAMING BUT IF YOU GET A FAST SHOOTING GUN YOU BETTER HAVE MORE MONEY TO GET AN E HOPPER. ------------- CLICK THE LINK BELOW http://model98.org">

The E-99 is alot better. Dragons are junk. They're cheap low end Timmy wannabee's. Thier solnoids are known for randomly taking a dump at any random time. The E-99 is fast, pretty light and pretty small. Its also more reliable and has a better solnoid. -------------

i read on kingmans website that the e-99 only gets like 14 bps and the dragun gets 20 bps. i saw a guy on here that had a dragun and he was shooting pretty dang fast. if i got a dragun i would have to get a halo or an egg, look at this, this is the vid i found of a dragun http://www.pbvids.com/upload/StevenWalk.wmv - http://www.pbvids.com/upload/StevenWalk.wmv

Well If you care that much about speed over reliability get the Dragon. Just remeber this when the Dragon solnoid poops out you'll be getting 0 BPS. -------------

speedwise also, remember what I said earlier you can get a T-board later on down the road (or now if you want) and it will make any electro spyder ROF 35bps ------------- Tippmann A5 Freak barell kit Egrip trigger Comp-air LPR System X 68/4500 nitro tank |

an e-99 will never shoot 30+ bps so why bother. If you can get 20 then you're MADE. even 15bps will spray down your opponents pretty bad. frankly since you're new to the sport i'd like to see you start on a semi auto. I just find players learn faster on then. Electro's tend to make people forget how to aim. -------------

sometimes i agree with u paintballer,but not this time.ive used both the t.e.s and the E-99.the e-99 is way better,the t.e.s is just plain breakable.even though the E-99 is a spyder,its one of the best.its way more rugged and reliable.slower is a good thing in this situation.cause it makes the player aim allittle more(even though u dont gota aim much)its better than the t.e.s.please get the E-99!!! ------------- Alot of people these days play speed-ball and have superspeed gun.If you are one of the few pump players left,put this as ur sig. -Phantom 45* grip t-stock 20 round center feed 12 gram changer |

both guns are really crap so why bother. wanna know a cheap ass gun that can shoot really good and accurate (for it's price) JT Xcellerator 6.0.. cheap, unheard of.. but it's the first gun I ever owned and it never let me down. It chopped twice in barrel but that was my fault.

| Neither one of them, get a 98 custom, more customizable, but if you could only pick between those two, then i would definately pick the E-99 Avant, they are some bad mothers! I was gonna get one of those for my first gun but i didn't, so i guess i don't really know how good they are b/c all of my friends own tippmanns. |
