And don't say a mag because I need it to cost me around 150-200 for everything (air, hopper, gun)

So any suggestions?

Buy a Tippy. Nice, Reliable, what most people start on. If you can find a mag for that low, well then, good for you.
Buy a tippy new for pretty cheap at

Some people complain about this site, but I have ordered from them 2 times and never had a problem.

i say tippmann because their quality is the closest to AGD (with a big margin between the two)

if you can find a nice used mag, go for that. but if you cant find one go for a M98. Tippmanns are built like tanks, and can take alot of abuse so they will last you a long time.

get a cheap used mag.....I dont think you can find MANY pb paks with tank, mask, and gun.

get a pump :p... there is no way you can afford a mag if you use N2... that's like 200 just for a tank!

yup yup you can get the whole package for 165 on most sites new(gun mask air hopper) and you can put an RT kit in it too, those things are gun to shoot!

my friend never cleans his M98 and has left it out in the rain before, he even threw it at a tree and it still works fine!

I'll sell ya my piranha, my mask, my 9 oz, my 4+1, my hopper, and elbow for 150. The piranha is a black G3, has upgraded internals and a 2 peice razzor 14" barrel.

pirahna or m98. Pirahna's are spyders with better quality. M98 is just too funky to hold for me. MAY wanna look at those black dragons. Very cheap for an electro, but I have no clue about the quality. I'd buy quality before performance with lower end guns though, cause you wanna play not fix stuff.

M98 or Piranha for sure. The M98 is built like a rock, too long for my tastes tho. The Piranha is a way better Spyder(quality, innovations) and was my first gun and it served me well.
Or if you beg Tunaman and kiss his butt and save up your money he could hook you up like FooTemps. It would be better if you saved another $100 or so and just buy a mag(I wish I did and not waste my money on a stingray, rebel, piranha, cocker). Run it on co2 as long as you put a anti siphon tube until you have money saved up for nitro.


Yatta!

ide say spider...ide take a spider over a tippman n e day. tipman's will give you reliability but i would choose the slightly better performance of the spider IMO. When i used to shoot a m98 it seemed to shoot worse and worse everytime i played. i tried taking the thing apart once to clean it and its quite a pain in the @$$. mag owners seem to lean towards m98's. they are similar in that they are very reliable. but ur best bet is a cheap mag...remember even when used they r mostly in good condition unlike a lot of guns :D

black dragon compacts are nice, work on co2 and have an elcectro trigger and are only $100 new...
