ok first DONT BUY THE SHUTTER, here are resons, they have a reg that goes b4 the x-chamber therfore it does nutin, it has "vents" that let dirt it it over priced, u could get a xtra for less and it has vert feed, i would go with either a spyder xtra 169 i believe or a piranha g3 vert feed same price i belive, and foe barrel id go for a lapco big shot 50 thats the most accurate barrel some say(compareable to a boom stick)

I have 2 friends with Tippman Model 98's ($125) and they LOVE them. Both have the Response Trigger ($90) and one has the Flatline barrel ($104) while the other as a different aftermarket barrel. Neither has had any problems with them.

I should have said that I would choose a Shutter out of the guns listed. If I got a blowback, I would get a TL+ or an xtra.

If u dont want to spend no more than 169 get a XTRA. If ur willing to pay 200 get a Bob Long Millenium. Both are great vert feed guns, but the Millenium comes more up graids. The XTRA also has many plastic parts. The millenium is all metal. U can get them or find specs at http://www.888paintball.com

get the ***PMI Pirhana G3 STS Powerfeed. all the pirhanas ive seen have very light pulls. much lighter than spyders and are very accurate with the stock barrel

i think you should go with the shutter and get a 14" j&j ceramic barrel that should be fairly accurate but will cost a bit more money
