Pilot > 98c = Sonix.

Now if your are short in money, you have to know that the Pilot is electronic, so you'll need an electro hopper to keep with the marker, and that can cost alot.

If you want save money and still have fun, I would suggest a 98c or a Sonix. Both are great, the sonix is slighly smaller and easier to maintain (IMHO), but the 98c is build like a tank, and never let you down.

Oh and stay away from package. It helps a bit to save money, but masks include are usually crap. I would suggest you to check at the vforce vantage, it's a low cost mask that performs like a high-end. You won't be disappointed.

Hope this help.

Thanks. So maybe get sonix package at under $100 but use extra money on good mask??

Just looked at custom set-up.
Spyder Sonix: $89.95
20 oz CO2 tank: $25.29
Spyder V-type Mask: $29.79
Basic Hopper: $4.95
Tippman 16" Squeegee: $8.77
Spare Parts: $9.95

Total: 168.70 w/o tax or shipping
This seems good for me. Need second opinion

Let the spyder V-type mask down, and get a Vforce Vantage Pro. They cost the same, but they are ALOT better. Actually, they are highend quality, in a low price mask. I had one 4 years, and it never let me down.

Other than Emags, all electros require batteries and cannot fire without them.

By Ion XE yes it is pretty good.
I still think a used pmr is the better choice, you can find some on ebay for 140~169

Thanks for the response, but I know all that. I was just wondering if there is a difference when buying the property.

I love my Spyder MR1

I got my Spyder a little more then a year ago and i love it. Great for me when I first began the sport and now that I am getting better I can upgrade the parts. I started out with a paintball package and the maske and other gear worked great for a year or so. I have now upgraded but i recommend a paintball package when you first start playing.

Spyder Victors rate down near the bottom of the paintball marker ladder. They are fine for the occasional player but if you are planning to hit the field frequently you are going to quickly get frustrated with its lack of performance. But everyone has to start somewhere and if the best you can scrape up is a Victor it beats watching everyone else play from the parking lot.
