Is the spider Electra w/eyes better than the a5 for woodsball/ speedball (not milsim) looking to stay in woodball but maybe go for speedball too. I want something fast, light, no chopping balls. And i have to have a gun that will not freeze USING CO2 in the winter. my a5 did not freeze this past winter using co2. I kind of like the 30bps & rocking trigger ------------- 1 paintball gun package=$150 1 case of paint=$50 air & entry fee=$15 lighting up newbies all day long= Priceless |

C02 will freeze up any gun depending on several circumstances. With the raised rof of the Electra you will get freezeups unless you really keep off the trigger. HPA is your friend. 30 bps? From a electro-mechanical blowback? Hahaha. Wont happen. |

Shens on the 30 bps. As HS said, CO2 will freeze up your regardless. Look into HPA. The rocking trigger isnt tourney legal. In the end, it's up to you. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

30 bps well that is what the company says. Rocking trigger not tourney legal? not by any standards at all??? um... I have to ask my local Speedball field.. I dont think they would mind, but you know, its up to them, its their field ------------- 1 paintball gun package=$150 1 case of paint=$50 air & entry fee=$15 lighting up newbies all day long= Priceless |

'Cockers are pretty hardcore, and I'd suggest against it if you don't like complexity. An Ion is probably your best bet. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"
