Hey everyone looking for your guys' proffesional opinion on this. So I got back into paintball about 6 months ago after taking about 2 years off. I bought myself a Spyder VS2 off a friend of mine and it works great for speedball or on indoor courses and the like. But I have been doing more Woodsball in a buddy of mine's back yard and the VS2 was just not meant for that. It jams with the smallest amount of dirt and seizes up completely in any sort of wet conditions so I really need a durable gun that will keep firing strait and true no matter what I put it through. I immediately knew I needed a Tippmann. I had a 98 Custom back when I used to play in my early teens and it got me through alot and kept on shooting. I also am a fan of the milsim but since I am saving to pay my way through college money is a little tight. I immediatley took a liking to the Alpha Black. It's cheap and looks great. But the first thing I thought of was taht I never saw a high quality milsim weapon for $150 - $200, so i became suspicious. Is it good or will it be no better than my VS2 in those conditions. I would really appreciate an opinion on this. Thanks.

The Alpha Black is a great deal. Specially since in the heart of the Alpha Black you will find Model 98 guts. So that reliable Tippmann performance with a great MILSIM Tactical feel and look. -------------
