Buying a First Gun
I am looking into buying a gun but i am unsure of what type of gun to buy. I have seen posts for the A-5 praising it and i have seen posts tearing it apart. Lately i have been looking at the Dangerous Powers G3. I have only seen good reviews for it but it is a little pricey
should i get the cheaper gun and upgrade or the more expensive and keep it stock?
I play mostly rec ball and a little speedball and would like a gun that will be easy to maintain because i am new as well as a durable gun
thx

I'd suggest a Spyder. I have a G3, and personally speaking, there are MUCH better guns for less money (PMR & Mini). Spyder VS-1 if you need co2 or VS-2 if you get HPA will be easy to take care of, fast, and reliable. Very good markers for the price. Wait to spend the money on a more expensive gun until you've decided that it's something you wanna spend that kind of money on for sure.

Yeah I couldn't agree with tlmiller more, a Spyder is a perfect choice for a beginner. They will take a beating and they will work great for both speedball and woodsball and for the recreational baller they are very simple and very easy to clean and maintain. I can clean mine in about 2-3 minutes no problem. So yeah you can go wrong with a Spyder as a first gun.

The only problem with spyders is the recocking issues. I've had it happen to me, and a friend of mine with a stacked tube has had the same problem. If you don't know what you're doing, it can get very frustrating.

It's really personal preference and how much you're willing to drop into it 
And if you're having recocking issues, you can always mod. |

The only time I've ever seen Spyders have recocking issues is when they're low on air, or using co2 in the cold. User HPA and make sure to not let it get really low, and shouldn't be a problem.
Between a mini and PMR, I'd take a Mini.
