hey ya i really woul like to get into paint ball im lokkin for a good accuracy power all around gun so far ive takin a likeing to these two guns please help me

Spyder Xtra http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ayphotohosting
Spyder Imagine http://cgi.ebay.com/Kingman-Spyder-I...QQcmdZViewItem
Note^both auctions are over im now lookin at tippman 98custom and a tippmann A5

[mLuH]

get the imagine, its a good deal

[tadlock]

well what would be better if i whant to get in the sport but not go all rambo meaning least amount of maintnce compared to normal which is easiest to find parts upgrade.. so on

also which is stronger and wont break on me

[Huntin Dawg]

i would take the xtra cuz it has the rockin trigger that is really fun to play with my friend has basicly that same set up

[Dogpatch]

As far as reliability, they're about the same. Just with the Imagine, you have to remember to charge your battery. Also it would be a good idea to get an electronic hopper if you got the Imagine. Anyway, maintenance and care would be identical for those two. They're both good starter markers, but I suggest the Imagine. Even if you don't use full auto, you can still shoot faster with an electronic marker.

Arrgh so far its 2 votes for imagine and 2 for xtra and the time left on th ebids are runnin out

xtra is just semi automatic, and needs no batteries.

so basically which ever one is cheaper. im too lazy to click the thinks.

but be advised, you cant use automatic @ fields. is it that important to you (if your going to buy the imagine b/c of automatic).

[off topic] i like your sig [/off topic]

I see you didn't click the links. The Xtra has a rocking trigger frame.


Either way, Imagine.

Meh, I didn't look either. I'd go with the Xtra. I like the looks of it better and that's pretty much the only difference in these two anyway.

[tadlock]

so final vote xtra with the rocker is what yall recomending for me to play with at arenas

[1337]

I'd go with a Tippmann 98 Custom. Great guns, never let you down. Spyders tend to break down quite often.

[tadlock]

arrgh now that xtra bid has gone up 2 $142 with 35mins$80 with an hour left i need an answer what gun should i get??????

[Malarlar]

Imagine.

[r3dt@rget]

Dude get the Xtra with Rocking Trigger frame and then sell me the trigger frame for $10! just kidding get the xtra because it has the rocking trigger making it very fast

[tadlock]

dude to late that gun just sold for 167 so its down to that other gun the imagine but im talkin with a friend and hes says spyders suck go for a tippman

[Malarlar]

Spyders dont suck...Hes just saying that because he probably has a tippman. Tippmans are also nice starting guns. Will you be playing speedball or woodsball?

[Dogpatch]

Spyders are just fine. The only reason they break down is irresponsible people do not clean and lube them after they play. If you maintain them correctly, they are very reliable. I mean they're so simple, and easy to work on if you do have to. And parts are abundant.

Edit: BTW, I prefer Piranhas, but they operate exactly the same as Spyders. You can find an SRT or something for like $50 and be good to go for awhile. Then later on if you want something better, no problem. But if you take care of that Piranha, you'll still have it as a backup.

[BrokenMonkey]

Spyders are fine, my xtra lasted me reliably for my first year, they are actually pretty reliable guns.

[tadlock]

ok im gonna mostly be playing woodsball and ive got $187 and im lookin at tippman A5's

[Dogpatch]

Well that makes a little more sense. If you're gonna be playing alot of woods/scenario type stuff, then Tippys are what ya want.

[lets-c-u-dance]

xtra good, imagine better
