Thinking of a new gun...

[Calebd2]

I'm thinking of getting rid of my spyder xtra and move up a bit. Whats the best gun i can get for around 300 bucks. I guess im going to stick with semi

[Shazbot]

em1's your only option if you want a non-blowback full auto... but why? why? why? full auto is complete crap. Just get a mag or cocker and learn the trigger and you'll be plenty fast.

Get an impulse, if you find a web site that has it expensive but still price matches (like 110% price match), look in magazines for one that has it cheap. then you can get it super cheap. then for a little more money, you can get a turbo board. but why, just get an I-frame when you got the money.

Automag, possibly a TKo Automag

If your looking for a gun in that price range your best off getting a WGP 2002 Autococker. They generally run for about $370. You should buy it at a local store and not off the Internet, because if you get an Autococker you may end up taking it to your local dealer alot until you figure out how to fix it yourself. You don't want a full auto if you ever plan on playing in tournaments - they aren't allowed. In a scenario game full auto would just be useless.

i dunno i guess i dont really needa full auto semis are cool to. post whatever. Needs to be accurate

[Calebd2]

OK what do you poeple think is better the ICD desert fox or the wgp 2002 Vertical Feed Autococker. Also how much do you think i could get for my spyder xtra

This is what it cost me new
Green Spyder xtra-160
Java ex-chamber-45
Terminator barrel-40
Venturi bolt- 15
Hopper/elbow-8
Totals to almost 270 bucks new. So i thought somewhere around 200 bucks, i dunno what do you people think

If your looking for acuracy go with the cocker. I've never heard of an ICD desertfox or whatever it's called. I had a few excperiances with off-brand guns like that and ussually they aren't very good.

[Murph1]

ICD is by no means an "Off-Brand." They make the Bushmaster, Defiant, BKO, Alley Cat Series. Their guns are high quality. Problem is you cant get a double trigger for the gun without hacksawing the guard. If you're into double triggers (Which I guess you are, you have a spyder.) I'd go with the automag.


BTW the Desert Fox is an EXACT copy of the Automag, except not made out of steel, so it's a little lighter.

[Phantasm000]

if you can find a nicely used autococker go for it, but make sure you bring it in to a shop and see if its good before you buy, but i got my cocker for 300 and I love it

[Calebd2]

Im kinda leaning towards the wgp Autococker. But man that is one heavy marker! 4 pounds is alot, not that im weak or anything but i just think thats pretty heavy.

[FrOnTMaN]

it sounds heavier then it really is. you hear 4 pounds and compare it to others and think its a tank. its really not though, and you get used to it very easy.

[PaintballSpike]

ICD = Indian Creek Design ... Duh. Sorry 'bout that one.
Anyway on the weight issue, the Autococker is a bit heavier then the spyder your used to playing with, but you'll get used to that really fast. I felt it was a little unbalanced when I put a 12v. Revy on it but I got a drop that put my CO2 right under the grip and that evened it out.

One more thing the cocker has a 2 stage trigger so that will take a little time to get used to. Once you get it you'll be able to shot as fast as some one with an electro. Plus your friends will want to try your gun and they won't be able to pull it right so you can show them up real good!

[Paintballdwarf]

If you want a cocker, be sure to play with one for a day. I tried one and I cant stand the balance, or the trigger pull, it just feels wrong, but you might like it.
