hi i m new to this forum. i m planing buying a new marker my choice are SPYDER PILOT ACS or SMART PART ION..

[martix_agent]

spyder VS2.
the ion is better than the pilot, but the vs2 rocks both their worlds.

[gofball129]

i want a marker that is between $100-$150..
electric
different fire mode
fast
accurate
work great on CO2

The Spyder VS1 is your best bet. The Spyder VS2 and ion are not meant to run CO2 threw them.

[snipermonkey2]

why do you want co2? Comp air tanks are so cheap now and filling them costs less.

[gofball129]

umm ok fine i ll go with comp air
many people say that spyder pilot acs is a good gun what do u guys think??

[snipermonkey2]

Spyders are great starter markers. I almost got one but I fall in love with pump markers, so I never bought one. For what its worth I would say stay away from a electric one. I have heard the sad stories some many times of cheaper electric markers dying fast. Are you going to be woodsball or speedball or both?

the cheaper ones do but not spyders. and yes the vs1 is your best choice if you're sticking with CO2.

I have a few more questions for you though:

when you'll be playing will you have available air refills nearby? if not, stick with using co2 and buy a few 20 oz tanks.

What sort of markers will the people you'll be playing with use? if they're mechanical markers, get a mechanical marker yourself. It's no fun to have a faster marker than all the other people for more than a little while.

ummm i play both woodball and speedbll. most people i play with have electric marker and yes theres a refill station inside the paintball park..

It pretty much what they say on the SP site. A great first marker. I'm thinking hard about the Vibe or SP1 as my first non-pump marker too.

Let us know what you do and yes steel air tanks are under $60 these days which is cheaper than 2x 20oz Co2 bottles.

Good luck and have fun!
