There are no snipers in paintball. Face that now or you will be flamed

I would first look into some spyder or piranha markers. You can get a nice spyder for as low as 55 bucks. Also, you may want to consider getting a marker that has full auto capabilities, that can be a fun feature.

But yes, check out those markers, you can get them anywhere from 50-200 bucks depending on what features you want.

any others casue i thought that the tippmann was a good idea

but i want to explore options

[beaverbuddy]

read a lot of reviews. What kinda thing are you looking for in your marker?

[meetmrnewb]

umm yea i guess i'll read reviews

but i am lookiung for a good field stripable gun(people have told me thats important)

and i want it to feel like a tippmann cause i like how it shot

[Calebd2]

If you want to be able to field strip your gun... a Tippman is defiantly not for you. Tippmans take a good amount of time to take apart.

A fast field strippable marker? A spyder. I can take apart my spyder, oil, and put it back together in 43 seconds

im thinking about buying a spyder and a tippmann and using spyder as backup gun

here would be everything i would get like that

Tippmann 98 custom
(Comes with Scott stalker, 9 oz tank, butt plate. 200 rnd feeder, barrel plug and squeegie)
(165$ not counting tax and shipping)

and a spyder xtra

79.99

so total of
244.98

i forgot to mention i just sold a card for 230$ so i have 230 to buy with(i thought i was gonna get 170)

and thanks to the beauty of selling other cards for 20 more i have 250

so 250.00
- 244.98
=====
5.02

is that a good idea???

so a basic spyder xtra
and a tippmann package containing
(Scott stalker, 9 oz tank, butt plate. 200 rnd feeder, barrel plug and squeegie)

is that good or should i only have one gun for a while?

[iTz NyaGo]

go with only 1 gun.

[meetmrnewb]

i cand eal w/ the not field strip cause i would like a tippmann 98 custom
