Spyder E99 - of the two choices... of course on e-bay thats what a classic mag sells for...

Seriously though, one of my younger teammates uses an E99 (with PHAT barrel kit) - loves the thing. His dad offered him the use of his Angel at the last tournament, I offered him the use of my X-valved, intelliframed, ULE mag, and another friend offered him the use of his Black Magic Autococker, I'm sure the field owner would have let him use his E-mag (no one knocks mags at the field ) ... come tournament he's out there with his E99 - really likes the weight, performance, whatever of it - shoots about 1,000+ balls a week, nearly every week, and has been using it for two or three months now with no problems.

just give it time

I quit knocking people about maintenance problems after I had to fiddle with my mag's level 10 for two weeks to get it right. I get it tuned perfect, working great, and then the owner's kids on his e-mag starts leaking (brand new) - I downsized him to the 0 carrier to stop the leak, but it is still not as tight as I think it should be (though I know the rule about using the biggest carrier that does not leak). I have a bad feeling this means its time to get a new o-ring and start the tuning all over next week...

e-99, because of
A) everything that Lohman said
B) many more possible upgrades with the kingman (if you want to go that route)
C) much easier to get replacement parts, seeing as spyders and spyder clones (and their respective parts) are all over the paintball scene.

e99 hands down, i used to work at a field and u wouldnt believe the problems the jt 5.0 and 6.0s had. u name it and we had to try and fix it. and thats half the problem, theres hardly any aftermarket parts for them or even replacement parts. id go e99 with out a doubt

[elpimpo]

jts have like no aftermarket upgrades

[bryceeden]

E-99, I love e-spyders they can hold their own against just about everything. Several of the guys on my theam(including me) had JT's as backups and they NEVER work right.

I hate my E-99.

But that's only because my friend borrowed it and shot me 15 times in the safe zone. If not for that incident I would love it.

Seriously though, the E-99 is a great marker for the price. I used mine for 6 monthes before I ever really had a problem with breaking balls in it. I would reccomend the Spyder

ELPIMPO: You recommended the dragun, which I typically recomend in threads like these as well...However, its no better than the spyder which you seemingly bash
