For those of you getting into paintball and are simply looking in a few different forums for information, here's some help. I will list some information on some of the most basic brands of paintball guns.
Spiders: Where do I begin? Let's start with the low end spiders. (Pssst, the experenced players know where this is going already) Lower end spiders are very poor quality guns. Anyone who uses them ovieously doesn't have cash or balls enough to get a real gun like a Tippmann. Higher end spiders can have their own problems too. My cousin owns one and it either stinks or hates him. In the staging area it will work perfectly, but during the game *dink* *dink* *dink* *Ffareadfsaerrafealkdjf*(that odd farting noise you get when your out of CO2) Basically, the thing acts like it's out of CO2 when it's not.
Tippmanns: Not quite competition grade, but reliable. Can be customized easily
Will post more later.
