The Spyder Imagine is a great marker, it has an electronic trigger frame, so it shoots faster even in semi-automatic mode. However, you might want to invest in an electronic hopper also (such as a revvy) to keep up with the fast feeding rate.

DO NOT GET AN ION. I hate to say it but you would prolly kill it. An imagine or a 98 custom would be a good choice.

98 customs are great beginners guns... they are pretty much indestructable. while spyders are faster (if you got the imagine, that is) it will still be durable, but not the durablilty of the 98.

yeah i suggest the imagine becuase of the firepower and its price but also it is very durable but not as hardcore as the tippy although the last game i played with my dads 98c and it was choppong a lot of my balls (lol), also it was having horrible accuracy but it didn't the game before when i played with it. I don't know what happened to it?

I started with an 98 Custom about a year and ahalf ago. Love the gun,still use it, and lone it to my friends who don't have their own guns yet. Good thing about it I can play in the rain and not worry about any electronics shorting out and cleaning/repairs are a sinch
The one thing that sucks about the stock 98c is the barrel. You should buy a new one and burn the stock one cause it will send paint every were but were you want it.
As for upgrade get a new barrel first off and then get an Response trigger if you want to get out of the 8 balls per second range
