Gun vs. Gun: Part 2.25

[DarkMag722]

Personally I would sell the Rebel and the Spyder so I could make more money. But if I was going to throw away only 1 i would get rid of the Rebel cause it is horrible. Sorry thats the truth. Rebels are Bad Good Luck with your descion.

What do you mean by "close minded"? I'm actually in the process of doing almost exactly what you're talking about. I bought an automag classic and am selling some of my lower end guns to pay for mag upgrades...isn't that pretty much EXACTLY what you're suggesting?

Now, I can't sell all of them. When I bought the automag I had 9 guns. I've sold one...I have two more up for sale...I'll be selling another one soon...THEN...I'll probably sell either the Rebel or Spyder. That will leave me 5 guns...a high end mech (automag), an "electric" (Prodigy), a mid/low range mech (Spyder or Rebel), and two pumps. Until I get the mag working good and figured out, I can use the Prodigy as my #1 gun and the other mech as a back-up. If I go to a field that won't allow the electric trigger without making me play advanced class...and I'm with friends that don't want to play advanced...I can use the other mech. And the pumps come in handy for backyard games where we usually end up using pumps because the area is just too small for semis/electros.

Oh I thought you were just trying to thin out your collection.

First off you need to settle into 1 main marker, where you have a anytime/anywhere marker. The feild where you can't play "advanced" is crap. If you want to its your choice, and I'm sure if you make up some bs they will let you in. I'm gonna suggest this will be your mag.

For your mag, what do you have on it so far? And what gear (tanks? hoppers?) do you have so far?

I'd keep the pumps, cause well pumps rule, and if you can, just sell all the blowback crap and use those when you want to go ball when your mag is down. This way you save on paint, and supposedly playing pump helps improve your game. You only really need 1 pump too.

I think your main problem is you are trying to have a specific marker for every single situation. Thats ultimately your choice, but you're going to be missing out on higher perfroming markers.

So I'd say, sell everything, except the mag and the pump, and upgrade the mag. Also, I suggest playing pump at the feilds, supposedly its a blast.

Thanks Guys

The people have spoken...the Rebel will go bye bye if I end up getting a buyer.

I did a comparison last weekend...starting out with the Spyder....then going to the Rebel. The Spyder got me 4 kills in 4 games (2 on 2 and 2 on 3 because it was early in the day). I pulled out the Rebel...NOT ONE KILL...and it JAMMED 3-4 times!! For some reason, it would fire a couple times than jam. What made it most annoying is it's rear-cocking and my hands were so sweaty in the 85 degree weather that I had to use both hands while wedging the gun between my knees.

So, I'll clean it...bring it to the local shop to have them go over it...then sell it. Some people would just sell it dirty and tell people there's nothing wrong with it...but I usually try to sell my extra guns to friends first and even if I didn't I don't think that's right...there's nothing worse than getting excited about getting a decent deal on a used gun online then finding out the gun doesn't work right and all the internals are coated with paint and some dirt.

So...reluctantly...I think I might say goodbye to the Rebel. It just doesn't have the quality or upgradability that the Spyder has. I like the design, I like the way it feels, but I have like 10 guns in my garage and it's just rediculous to keep "collecting" junk guns when I need the money for mag upgrades.

Thanks for your help all!

just for all yall spyder haters out there...

the spyder classics are great guns, especially when upgraded. They have fatter strYkers and can thus fire at lower pressures if modded than rebels or newer spyders/spyder clones meaning fewer chops and quieter operation.

the last of the decent spyders were the shutters and TL+'s, after they got into egrips (excluding the em-1 of course) is when they REALLY started to not giva ****.

100$ into a spyder classic and some SIMPLE home mods will go MUCH further than 200$ into an automag classic.

what upgrades have u done? ottersccustoms.com

Sell EVERYTHING including the mag, and then see what you're left with.

If you have HPA already, try looking for a used Angel LCD or matrix. You can find good deals on those and they'll shoot fairly fast.

100$ into a spyder classic will go MUCH further than 200$ into an automag classic.

I'd advise against putting ANY money into a low end gun other than a hopper, good HPA tank, and maybe a large bore 1 piece barrel. You won't get ANY money for the "mad ups" you have on a low end gun, as the resale is crap, and you'll eventually regret it.

yeah, like how i could sell one of my more modestly upgraded spyders/clones for around 150-200, having put around 400$ into it.

or, sell my $1200 angel for 400$.

huge diff, i really see ur point now.

especially since one of my largest upgrades (others being an electronic g/f and installing eyes) would have been my interchangeable reg. which would take at most 40 bucks (depending on the reg) off the selling price.

yeah, people should just buy high end guns in the first place, but if you are going to defend upgrading a mag, but not a spyder... well then...

You paly at hell survivors don't you!

Yes

You paly at hell survivors don't you!

I have. But I think everyone in lower Michigan has at one time or another. I don't go as much anymore since they went to field paint only.
