Very true, a "trophy" is in the eye of the beholder.

My BE plastic pump was the "stuff" when I bought it 6 years ago (at least to me)

i remember when my friend got a Shutter, it was the most amazing thing ever, especially compared to the rentals we were used to using.

most people who buys spyders and the like probably don't know too much about the sport, and if they bought the marker in the store it probably WAS the best marker at the store (we're talking walmart here people) and they probably have no idea better guns exist.

Now I know some of you will obviously disagree with me but, in my honest opinion, I think Spyders are some of the best guns on the field, for the money anyway.

And when you "show them up" is it because you have a more expensive gun, or because you're a better player?

O.o...and yes...although I would take a tippmann over a spyder...spyders are some pretty nice stuff for what they are. But it stinks when you allready know about all the cool guns out there, but you just cant afford them. So you get a tippy

I couldn't agree more. The overall value Spyders and other stacked-tube blowbacks provide brings more people into the sport, benefitting all of us (players, fields, merchants, and manufacturers).

As for the attitudes of some of the owners, are you acting any differently by complaining about them? Instead, be someone they look up to. I'm sure they already know how to whine; teach them something productive, like sportsmanship.

Noobs and Spyders . . . . .

Last time I went and played paintball there was a kid there, perhaps he was 13-14 and he had a real nice Spyder. The kid had played for a few years and he had some good skills. He was playing hyperball and speed ball and he did just as good as the Hype Kids that had there uber $$$ markers. He got as many hits as the other's and had just as much fun..
When I started I bought a Spyder and used it until I got a Blazer and I GAVE my Spyder to a friend son. He played with that thing for a while and then bought a newer marker.
I think that any marker that gets peeps out on the field is a good marker. And we all know that it isn't the marker that makes a player it the person behind the marker.

It doesn't make any difference to me if someone has a Talon or a Timmy with spinners
Just as long as they get out there and sling paint.

everyone started somewhere, and if you said that you were never cocky when bragging to your friends when you started (im sure some kids still do) then your just lieing to yourself.


those who play counterstrike know theres a difference between a "noob" and a "newbie"


those "new" people could be considered newbies, as they are new to the sport, and theres nothing at all wrong with that



newbie- new person
noob- idiot

I remember when my e-99 avant was the best thing I had ever bought. I loved it so much, until I realized it chopped 1/5 balls and was louder than a shotgun....then when I got my 68 mag, it opened up an entire new world, and I was no longer so self centered about my gun, or skill. Some sort of paradigm shift (sp).

not fair!

[SteelSoul]

We should have a photoshop edit contest

PIMP MY MARKER


let the chopping start LOL

[Chris_automag_07]

dont get me wrong...my first gun was a mech. piranha, and ill admit that i thought it was pretty cool but i knew that the people that i was playing with had more experience and i knew what would happen if i would have bragged on my piranha....

why do "experienced" people care about why newbs and young kids think about their gear?

[Chronobreak]

il agree with everything said

but imagine these same newbs that would eb shooting e-spyders shooting dm4-5's

my spyder compact was more than fine for a first gun.
btw spyder build quality has gone to crap,, get a pirhana instead
