i don't reccomend the Trilogy series, you can't upgrade the triggers
or 3 ways, the trigger you can change out but you can't get the best upgrade for cockers and that's the E-blade and the only cockers worth a damn now a days is the Ebladed ones. |

the Fenix ACS or Pilot ACS if you go spyder i ownded a spyder for
about 3 years and they are great guns until the valve clunks out after a while serious it will happen, it happened to my gun and another kid's and we both bought our guns about the same time the valve just get's worn after so long easy fix of 20 bux though. Though that aside if you maintain the gun it will work great, personally though i own a piranha also and in terms of e-guns a Piranha EVO owns any spyder, i would take my Piranha bottom line e-force over any spyder that just are better i can't explain it. |

eh like the ebolt, but for that much money it's not really worth it
so i would say get a double trigger do a spring mod and make it walkable( it can be done) make your gun as light and as compact as possible that's about it. |

ok here's the thing, the internals on your 98c are fine and as a
experianced scenario balla you can play with about anything what it comes down to is your willingness to play hard and follow orders or make them. I would have a good barrel and HPA for a scenario game and than also get a some fire power like RT or something, really what are the reason you want a new gun and than some one could help you with that a little more |

as a backup or just in case gun. don't really know why maybe to play with something different instead of the samething all the time. ------------- what are they doin',why are they trying to publicly humiliate me like this...ooh shiney red ball! Peter Griffin |

| I would go with some PMI Pirhana. I hear they're good guns. Also look into some spiders or up the 98c. You could go for the R/T if it's legal at your field(check first). You can also up the barrel. that's about it for that though. Or you can get the E-Bolt(but it is discontinued) and get a 14" J+J Ceramic or some other cheap but accurate barrel. |

Some of the JT guns make good speedball markers if you take care of them and keep fresh batteries in them. ------------- http://www.specialopspaintball.com/brigade/member_view.asp?id=20006">

My advise?
Try and track down a decent USED electropneumatic, such as an E-Bolt, a Bushmaster, etc. Try and avoid SEAR TRIPPERS (A-5 E-Grip, Spyders, Pirahna, etc.) they wear sears out like MAD, which is why I have my A-5 on the block at some other forums. Response triggers are not legal in tourneys due to the runaway characteristic it displays. If it is still there, I know of a shop that had a 98 Custom E-Bolt for $199. PM me if interested. ------------- If I flee, kill me If I die, avenge me |

Look for signs of abuse (example:
spoiled player who was given the marker has played "lawn darts" with it
or slammed it down after getting nailed by a guy with a Stingray),
check internals for unusual wear and proper/improper lubrication (rub
marks, damaged o-rings), air leaks, mis-firing, velocity jumps.
The signs are there if you look for them. ------------- If I flee, kill me If I die, avenge me |

| if you get the Piranha SRT eForce or the KingKingman Spyder Pilot get the Viewloader 12v X-Board or the Ricochet 2k Loader. the richochet is cheap then the viewloader. if you get the spyder pilot i would get the camo one. its shinyer, the double trigger is a blade, and the barrel looks better. but the pilot and viewloader will be a little over $200 unless you get the richochet. the pilot is faster than the piranha but both are good. |

Don't get a Pirhana..Please.Your put more money into fixing them them.Spyders arn't reliable either.I mean if your looking at a Spyder...I would get a Diablo Moongoose Before those 2.I never had anything positive about those 2 Guns (Spyder,Pirhana). ------------- Classic Timmy CP Voluimzer Bob Long Assasins Barrel VL eVLution 2 Critical Trigger Dye Stickyz CCM Feedneck Smart Parts Ion (Black) |

Dude, Spyders last about 3 months before they completely die on you. Just get an electro Pirahna. They are nice if you run anti-siphoned c02 or HPA in them. ------------- 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 |
