I'm looking into getting a gun for speedball. Right now I'm shooting a Tippmann 98c R/T, mainly geared for woods. Money will be a huge factor, as I am really pressed. my friend just got a synacate misfit off ebay for $100, and says it works really well for him. ------------- Tippmann 98 custom RT Apache 14" J&J ceramic Black/green hybrid grip Broadsword vest Remote line Proto Switch EL |

Electro you Tippmann, of buy a Kingman Product your choice. Any other speedball markers are not avilable to you because you cannot afford HPA.

| yeah the 06 electra will be coming out with vision, but has an illegal rocking trigger. so I think the rest of their high end guns will come out with eyes |

Get a spyder and your SCREWED. From personal experience the Fenix, Rodeo and Imagine are not good for speedball. Or anything else. Electro your Tippmann. I would suggest an ion but since you dont have HPA thats not a good idea. ------------- Setup: Marke:98 custom pro Custop Products Flame drop Barrel:12" SP Progressive Hopper: Vieloader evolution II 98%of paintballers act gangsta if you are the 2%that are normal put this in your sig |

Dont get a spider!! if you dont want to electro your tippy then look into 32 degrees. The got the new icon z out now. There not the best guns but better than spyders. Still the best choice is too electro your tippy. Actualy the best choice is to get hpa and an ion or a wrath ------------- Setup: Marke:98 custom pro Custop Products Flame drop Barrel:12" SP Progressive Hopper: Vieloader evolution II 98%of paintballers act gangsta if you are the 2%that are normal put this in your sig |

Right now I'm going to stay with my Tippmann, but when I get some more cash I think I am either going to get an Ion or a Wrath. ------------- Tippmann 98 custom RT Apache 14" J&J ceramic Black/green hybrid grip Broadsword vest Remote line Proto Switch EL |

I have used this gun, but I immediately switched back to my 98 custom, because this gun had some major problems. The biggest problem is that it is from wal-mart. The only guns that are worthwhile from Walmart are Tippmanns. If you want a good cheap electronic then you are looking for the wrong kind of gun. Cheap and electronic and good can not all three be in the same sentence. ------------- "It is only what you take with you." -Yoda |

I'd just save untill you can get something decent like an Ion or a Promaster. ------------- Please for the love of god don't get a flatline. |

I would recomment looking into the new Kingman Spyder Imagine. It is a very good gun (for the price) though it has an anooying led display. If you dont plan on it giving you away in nighttime games, I would go for it. They are a very reliable starting lower-end gun. My pal has one and it has amazed me with its performance for its price. ------------- J-Man |
