Tippman 98'- not as good, mabe just cus its mech
A5- Cyclone feed is hard to been but other then that its just as good.
Marker Setup:
Spyder Pilot-stock
VL Revolution hopper
PE 20oz CO2
Overlord sidearm
Recommended Upgrades:
barrel-duh
repsonce trigger
electro hopper- revy is fast enough, halo is uneessisary but hey it looks cool
*q loader
remote
Strengths:
Fast (for a tippnman copy)
light (again reletive)
nice sight
spyder threaded (usefull)
Weaknesses:
Meh, i didnt use it enough, it didnt seem to have any obvius weaknesses
Review:
so i swiched gunes with this kid at a local field for a day and heres what i though
Fast- compared to a 98' this thing is realy quite fast, it kinda kept up with me, i only jammed it once. (i can walk my duble trigger spyder at like 17 when i throw a halo on it, the acs is nice) But when i got up to like 14bps is jammed, no prob i filed stripped and cleaned it in game. accuracy was nice, even with a spyder stock barrel (lol) . It had nice groupings. Nice on gas, better then any spyder ive ever used, very efficent. It was not overly buly, if i owned the gun i might have slapped a qloader on it, might. Also a remote would be nice to make it farley concealable.
Conclusion:
if u want a cheap scenario gun go with this, its better then the 98' and the VJ tac, if you dont care about looks as much, then a spyder may be moore suitable, especialy if you like speed ball. Its a great gun, i enjoyed playing with it, way more then i liked my Pilot beofre i got the ACS.

you cant hit 17 on a spyder, one the esp trigger and the blowback design really dosent allow for that and two, spyder boards (stock) are capped at 13bps.
With the proper modifications, even Tippmanns have been able to (after a bit of jerry-rigging, I imagine) hit 22 bps. Considering he borrowed the gun, it might also have an aftermarket board.
Maybe but not without alot of custom modding and in no way involving walking a trigger, most pros canot walk 16-17 bps pure semi wich is why ramping is so popular so there is no way you can hit 17 on a spyder with an ESP frame, its just electromechainical, just a noid tripping the sear. most spyders are capped at 13 bps anyway.
You should not have isputed this review, he clearly reviewed it as he saw fit and you seem to be an a-5 lover or something, you have not even shot the gun and your bashing it, THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS REVIEW'S ACCURACY TO BE DISPUTED. THE REVIEWER DID EVERYTHING CORRRECT PLEASE DISREGARD ABOVE POST. PLEASE DO NOT DISPUTE THINGS IF YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT YOURE TALKING ABOUT.
Its cool, my view used to be warped too, then i got an e2 wich told me hosw fast i was shooting and i thought i was doing like 20 bps but it was only like 12, lol. That was so long ago. its ok though we were all once a bit confused.
