Not sure about the spyder

I'm trying to get back into paintball. I'm thinking about buying a Kingman Victor or Victor2, because they're cheap. I used to play about 7 or 8 years ago and I had a Tippmann Pro-Lite. I wanted to buy another Tippmann, because they're reliable (model 98), but compared to the Victor, its expensive. Is the Victor a good gun? Will I have to spend a lot of time tweaking a tempermental gun? Remember, the last gun I had was a pro-lite so it was kind of a tank, how is it compared to a Tippmann, what will I be sacrificing or gaining?

my spyder (compact) is pretty reliable. You should def. buy a new spring kit because spyders are weak. I think most spyders work the same way so you could save money and buy the victor intead of the victorll

I had a victor II its like $10 more than a victor. The victor has no foregrip and holding the hose can be weird.

Anyways There are alot of home mods you can do. also get a new barrel. Maybe a tear drop. Or a CP One Piece if you dont want to spend much.

Acutally the Victor is more than the Victor 2 and the Victor 2 has a gas thru forgrip.

I would definately o spyder instead of tippy, spyders are alot faster if you get the imagine,electra, or electra dx, plus it(xtra,electra,electra dx) has an expansion chamber and there arent quite as many upgrades you can do but the performance seems better.And you wont be looked upon as such a noobie.(No offense i just mean that alot more newbies have tippmans than spyders and tippmans are considered more newbish guns than spyders).If you want you could get the imgaine package for around 160 or 170 or somethin like that, its faster than a tippman or any other mechanical gun.
