Spyder Fenix or Tippman A-5 with RT

I like my Fenix more than my A-5, but most ppl here will tell you A-5 even tho they don't own both.......

For general/speedball use I might recommend the Fenix over the A-5, but if you are going hiking with your gun I would recommend an A-5 RT over just about anything else. My $0.02.

Yep

Well I prefer woods.  I have never really played speedball, but the idea of a game being over fast like that cause you are on a small field does not do it for me.

I know this is a Tippmann site, but I also know a lot of people on here have spoke against Tippmann too.  Seems like the A-5 is a really good gun for now, then I can make a gun fund then save up.

The Fenix is a quality gun, very speedball oriented, basically Spyder's flagship.  I think the main thing I personally would consider is if you ever plan on playing tournaments...if so, forget the A-5 w/RT because the RT is illegal in 99% of tournaments.

However, the reason I went with the A-5 is because of the fact that you can practically run over a Tippmann and it'll take it (yes, slight exagerration).  I know I have a tendency to get a little careless when running around, diving behind bunkers and such.  I snapped the reg. on my 'cocker which put me out for a couple months (not to mention money I didn't plan on spending!).  A little more expensive than the 98 Custom, but I really dig the cyclone feed.  That's just me though.

I'd say go with the A-5, with the A-5 you can get a lot of upgrades it comes with a hopper and cyclone feed system which is nice. with sypder its hard to get any parts. and if you play in the woods with an a-5 with a few upgrades you'll dominate
