Given the fact that you're 13..you're still young yet..go for the 68classic. Excellent gun, good price. Put a good barrel on there and a drop combined with N2 and you're a force to be reckoned with. After that save your money to buy the Emag if you want..then keep your 68 as a backup..that's what I'm doing..I'll have my Emag here in about a week and a half.

Does anyone else think that young guns with super guns is sort of destroying the sport for less fortunate players? I mean, it's making the tournament scene harder to break into. It's been established that it's the player not the gun, but if you have 5 newbs with E-mags laying the field down, how is the kid with the Spyder going to take any ground?

SUN im not a n00b i play tourneys so dont always think younger ppl are neccessarily noob's

I'm not calling you a "noob". I'm just saying that young guns with super guns is going to destroy the tournament scene. Some kid with a Spyder won't understand that he is a better player, he'll only understand that his opponent has a gun that cost about 20X his, and the ROF reflects this.

i disagree with that...to an extent... I don't know why so many people are bothered by ounger or newbies with superguns, if they want em then i consider it a smart choice for them b/c you save a TON of money by buying a top-of-the-line gun that you are gonna keep initially rather thna working your way up...when u work up you lose tons of money from selling all your past guns, and you also can become better by developing with one gun and becoming very comfortable with it, when i was 12 ig ot my model 98, about 14 got my mag, then at age 15 got my impy. I wish i had just save dalotta moneya nd went out and brought a nicer gun (then again i prolly wouldnt have known how INTO the sport i would become) so this decision can go either way, but i personally thin kit save smoney, mags are infamour for HORRIBLE resale value and you shuold take note of the fact that noone knows anything about an e-mags resal value well becaus ei guess all the owners are to happy with em to sell em. But i think you should go foe the e-mag...if your wanting one now, once your 68. mag gets old a few months old....you will regret not skipping that initial step of getting the better gun first. trust me it will help you later. and also. It seems to me that you know that you are going to be very "into" paintball so DEFINETELY get the E-MAG!!!

If i were you i would get the emag just so you don't have to spend more money in the long run if you want to eventually get one.

Hey, if he wants to work his way up, get the E-Mag, and find a used stock AIR valve and pop it in the E-Mag body, run it on Mechanical mode, and he will have a 68 automag to work up with in an E-Mags body. as far as I know a stock AIR valve will work in an E-Mag body, perhaps im mistaken though.

Pure agression and outplaying the other team.

I have an emag and I still get shot(that may not be saying much for me ) 10 bps or 5 doesn't make that much of a difference when the other team has your head down, they can bunker you with 1 bps. Besides, I have an emag with a warp and a flatline 68 and it is soo much heavier than my standard mag(my standard mag doesn't have a warp, so take it with a grain of salt). If they can carry around a fully loaded out warped emag, then they are awful strong 12 year olds.
This isn't a flame, just a statement so as not to discourage anyone from going against an emag/angel with their gun whatever it be. For if you are better than the other person you will most likely win.
