: : Looks-wise, I think it is very pretty. It is also slim and light, easy to carry. That's the good thing about Spyders, I guess.

: : When it comes down to usage, however, I don't like Spyders much. I started out with a Spyder, upgraded it until I got the best performance out of it I could, did lots of custom work on it. Never again. I wish someone had told me to start off with an Autococker instead.

: Do you honestly think you could have started out with an autococker and be as good as you are today? I don't know how good you are, but you wouldn't have been where you are if you started out with a cocker. Everyone needs a cheap starter gun to introduce them into paintball. Unless you're one of those rich kids with your daddy's credit card and an angel.... god i hate them. Anyways, my point being is that you can't start out paintball with a $300+ gun. For instance, hellrazor started out with a rebel, and I started out with a compact 2000 (which i eventually broke), but we learned from those, and now are more knowledgable about paintball. It's like swimming, you don't learn by diving off a 10ft diving board into the deep end, you gotta get your toes wet first. TMTC. Later.

I agree. I started out with a plastic gun, a Stingray as a matter of fact, went up to the Raptor, which was just garbage, the went the Java 2 in 1, then the TL+, upgraded it fully, then bought an autococker. But even after all that, I still don't notricycle about the autococker except that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The way I see it is beginners shouldn't by low endtricycle, or even buy high end models, but should find the mid way point. Cause at first, I was gonna give up on paintball, cause the gun I had was just nothing buttricycle...stupid Stingray!!!! I never by a marker made by Brass Eagle again. Yuck!!!!!!!!!!! And that was three years ago.
