Spyder VS3 or Tippman A-5
I'm lookin at the reviews and the ups/downs on both these guns and their lookin pretty equal. But my dad is totally buttreapin the Tippman but im sittin there like, ok both you and my cousin have the gun i really dont want to have the same gun as you.
Point:
Is the A-5 that much of a better choice?

it all comes down to one thing are you going to use the gun for woods ball or speedball if it is for woodsball get the tippmann they are pretty much made for woodsball and the vs3 for speedball. i have a vs3 they are pretty sick i use it for both.

get a vs2 the vs3 rocking trigger is a useless gimmick thats not worth the money. plus a vs2 is better than an a5 IMO

perkins, you really dont' help much when you say that. of course he's looking at price. if he was not, he'd be wanting the new -8 markers that cost $1200

look at a vs1 instead. he vs2 had problems using CO2, whihc is what most, if not all, woodsballers use for air.

are you serious?
the A-5 is about as useful as giving a monkey a screwdriver and telling him to fix the shower with it. If you go with tippman, get a 98, not an A-5.

If I was you, I'd also look into the Vibe/SP1
Great guns, BUT, it is made my SmartParts for you haters out there.
Besides that, you should look into the SP1 or the Vibe |
