Yep. Also seen alot of them in the Repair shop too. They only have a life spam of maybe 50-100 games before they stop working. -------------

| I have one, they aren't bad. Just take care of them and they won't break down that often and if they do its an easy fix. But it's still a Spyder what can you expect? |

For the money a 98C would've suited you better. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

Eh, I would've suggested the 98c. As long as you keep up with the spyder you wont be waiting on it in the repair shop. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

Go with the 98 custom, you will save more money for upgrades, and way less at a Repair Shop. ------------- http://www.specialopspaintball.com/brigade/member_view.asp?id=16288">

I would rather pay 300 for the Ebolt than any on a Spyder. ------------- http://www.specialopspaintball.com/brigade/member_view.asp?id=16288">

Imagines are very finiky. As Panda said they'll last sometime but don't expect them to last forever (like a Tippmann). Also besides being finiky they also tend to be pretty unreliable. I had seen the bolt on the Imagine pretty much compleatly freeze and the gun was useless. The only good Spyder to me is the E-99. -------------

Imagines are the worst guns I have ever had experience with. Have fun with your piece of crap gun.

Uh huh. I know from watching my friend work on his Imagine at least five times in a 7 hour period. The last time we went and played, he played one game (in which he surrendered because the gun stopped working, no less) in a five or six hour period because of that stupid gun. He loves it. Not. As for my "semi auto non speedball 98c," I urge you to check out my beast. http://www.tippmann.com/players/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=128561&KW=fly - http://www.tippmann.com/players/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp ?TID=128561&KW=fly

I used to have one, it worked good for a couple games then it broke balls non-stop and after a month it was in the repair shop.

I think that the imagine, while it is more prone to breaking, is the better speedball marker. Just maintain it very well and by the time its almost useless you will probably be planning on getting a better gun anyways.
