I've never heard anything bad about a tipman, I would probably choose it over the spyder. The quesiton is, for and xtra $100 to $150 bucks, why not have the best, most reliable, tournament grade marker out there? You never have to sell it, ever.
Almost everyone that buys a more expensive marker (angel, anything electronic) keeps their automag as a backup for when their more expensive gun fails, or to hand to friends to play with.
I've played with shockers, cockers, angels, automags, and shot a few rounds out of a tipman. For me, the angel is not as consistant as the mag or cocker (it's accuracy by volume). And For every 1 working properly cocker I've seen, I've seen 2 broken ones.
Back when I had a spyder half the day was spent fixing it, a quarter cursing it on field, and 1/4 having fun playing.
With the mag, its 100 percent fun. No problems, no hassles, and the paint goes right where you want it. (YOU MUST HAVE A REVOLUTION HOPPER ON ANY PAINTBALL GUN YOU WANT TO SHOOT FAST). If you don't you will break paint and cry your way off the field (or use the aforementioned squeegee to clean out all the paint in the barrel and off the bolt before you ever shoot another straight shot).
The good old days.
I am thinking of starting up another team for fun down here in Fort Lauderdale. Anyone have any favorite fields down here?
