Is this an alrite starter kit?

mask- JT Spectra 260 Thermals
marker- Kingman Spyder Pilot ACS
CO2- Catalina 20 oz.
Hopper- Quantum 9 Volt Hopper
Paintballs- CORE Action 2000 rounds
Harness- Evil 4+3

is that an alrite starter kit?

[bobide]

dear god, do NOT get the quantum-it's worthless and does not really outpreform a gravity hopper: basically get a revvy or reloader II.

u forgot pods :P

[Collins88]

lose the quantum hopper but other than that its all good

[cv4stm]

ok, so wat if I get:

hopper- Halo Frontman LED
pods- Dye Lock Lid Pod 160rd

I am also probly gonna add a barrel, which of these is best:

1) Smart Parts All American 12" ($55)
2) Smart Parts All American Barrel ($54)
3) Smart Parts Freak Jr. ($80)
4) Smart Parts Teardrop Barrel 14" ($40)
5) Evil Driver ($70)


which of those 5 is the best??

i just bought a kingman spyder pilot acs the other day and today wast the first day i played with it and i love it it actually shoots faster than i thought and it shoots straight also!! i think you will be happy with this gun

[cv4stm]

^^ya, I really want this gun...anyway, can someone help me out on the barrel?


also, is this too much to spend for a beginner? Should I maybe go with an Imagine or is this good?

[cv4stm]

actually, that question means, is there really much difference between a pilot and a imagine that a beginner would notice (as along as I go with all the other stuff)??

ur opinion won't make or break wat I do but I would like your thoughts

[orange182county]

LAPCO are the greatest barrels ever........Incredibly Accurate

[cv4stm]

that wasn't one of the 5 I put up there...rite now I am probly leaning towards the Evil Driver barrel cause it looks so cool:

[cv4stm]

also, is the Halo Frontman LED an alrite hopper? is there anything else around that price range I should get instead?

[MR. Marsullus]

dont go for looks on a barrel, you should go for performance.

If you want a Teardrop, a Progressive is a better choice. its about $10 less just because it has different milling.

[xch1p]

dont use co2 it breaks your gun by freazing the o rings use compressed air

[orange182county]

I agree, compressed air is totally worth getting

[silentgun]

First of all, the gun you want and the spyder imagine are basically the same thing. They have the same eternals(except for the bolt) since it's an ACS bolt. The outsides just look different. If you want to spend the extra money, get the pilot, but personally, I would save the money to buy nitro. The Spyder Pilot ACS and the Spyder Imagine are basically the same guns. All spyders are all basically the same.

[bobide]

^this is mostly true. The pilot does however have a faster board w/ a 20bps cap instead of 14bps. Now, does this matter to u. Well w/ the stock microswitch in there u won't be going really fast. But put in a 50gram switch and BAM ur off baby! So if u have really quick fingers then get the pilot and put in a lighter switch.

That driver barrel is WAY to much, get the AA by sp. The freak jr. is probably the best barrel out of those (but i bet u could find a used spyder threaded freak (not the jr) for the same price)

I'd get a 12volt revvy or a reloader II over a halo led. B/c those specific oddosey hoppers use a tilt sensor to determine when to feed, and well....that just isn't the best way.

It's all up to YOU on how much is reasonable to spend, all that matters is u are happy and enjoy your gear. (i'd recommend shooting ur spyder w/ teh stock barrel for like 200rounds then put on the new barrel so u really see the difference)

He doesn't need HPA, co2 is not that bad on the gun, and if he maintaines it, things will be okay.

o-rings are very cheap and can be replaced easily for a begginer co2 is ok but in the long run he will want to get n2/hpa (same same)

You're nuts, those two barrels are SP's cheap productions meant to suck in cheapo paintball players. They'll break just as much paint as any other cheap barrel. The All Americans aren't meant for looks at all, they're meant for great performance at an affordable price, and boy do they deliver!

ok ok...here is wat I am probly gonna do now:

Marker- Spyder Imagine
Hopper- VL eVolution II
Barrel- unsure (either All-American or Evil Driver)
Harness- Evil 4+3 w/ Dye Pods
Air- 20 oz CO2 or 2 x 12 oz CO2 (will eventually get N2)
Paintballs- Core Action 2000 balls


is that alrite? what are som other upgrades I should do for fairly cheap? Should I get a new T-Board with eyes? How much would that be? Remember, I am a beginner so I won't notice every little thing

[bobide]

look man, ur getting just way to detailed on all of this. Worry about the basics. U don't need a pack or new barrel the first time u play. Hell, part of the joy is slowly upgrading and noticing how each upgrade effects the gun.

Myself, i HATE evolution IIs (we call them eggs), but that is a good setup u have there. If u want to get the egg, ur the one who will use it. I'd get the AA over the driver (it's overpriced at $70)

Don't bother w/ a t-board unless u LOVE ur spyder.

[cv4stm]

so what hopper should I get then? I also don't feel like spending $100 on a hopper so if there is anything around $60ish that is alrite, let me know
