Spyder's reign is over and probably has been for a few years. ION is
Tippmanns and pretty much everyones main competition. I think the
Tippmann is a great first time players marker. I went from a Brass
eagle to an A-5 and have 2 now. They are both well over a year old and
work great. Only gripe is yhat I seem to be going through cyclones. Not
sure why either I only have 3 non tippmann parts on mine so I dont
think that's the problem. -------------

tippmanns are deffiently the best for a beginner. They are very easy to take care of , very simple to work and not alot of parts so less things can go wrong. They dont require alot of matence they just are the best for beginners. -------------

I definitely agree that Tippmann is much better than the Spyders... but a question with the new Custom Pros, I have a stock for an old 98 Custom and I was wondering if the stock will fit on a Custom Pro |

You're on the Tippmann forum, on Tippmann's site. What do you really think that you're going to get for an answer. Most people here have or want Tippmann's. If you go to a Spider forum, you'll probably get the opposite information there.
But, then I bought my 98C, because it was better then the Spiders I saw and tried. |

I got a spyder tlx and it isnt the best gun. I have have loads of ball preakage and half the time im sitting around fixing it. THe best gun is defianltly tippmann. So many more upgrades and as i heard it works very well with hardly no breakage. Spyder autoes are good but i would still rather get a tippman and just add an e grip. ------------- Nick West |

Okay i guess its not rele a middle skool team but the skool lets a certain team practice in the woods and in the field behind our skool. Each one of our team members pays the skool district money every month(were renting the field). its about 2 miles behind our skool and theres a little path. the skool offers the field 2 whoever will pay the most 4 rent. we als have setup bunkers back there. but the only way we can do that is if 1 of our parents companies or somethin like that pays for it as a devolopment area. we give the money 2 our parents |

it really depends on the tippmann and spyder and what type of paintball ur playing. tippmann are much more durable and work all the time. spyders r crapply put together and break a lot, but theyre somteimes better for speedball. a stock electric spyder is probably better for speedball than a stock 98 or a-5, just cause it can shoot faster. id still say tippmann over spyder cause tippmanns are quality guns. -------------
