who is into paintball? what is the best marker to get for a first marker? do you perfer woodsball or speedball?

I would have to go with speedballs.

i used to like it, great starter for woodsball is a tippmann 98 custom, just get a longer barrel and youre good to go for woodsball!

i started with a Spyder TLX, im more into woodsball but they are less common the speedball in CA

When i played it yrs. ago tippmann 98 & speedballs was the best. The team i had won a lot of cash$$

I havnt played in years but was thinking about getting back into it. I played mostly speed ball but i did play some woods. For woodsball i used a Tippman 98 Custom. That is the best gun ever made for starters/woodsball. You have to really screw up to get that gun to stop shooting and there are so many custom mods for it to make it a great gun. For speed balli used to have an Angel. Thats how long its been since ive played they havnt made Angels in a few years. They used to be the Bob Long Intimidators of paintball back when the Intimidators were really cheap.

i used the tippman 98 custom just like the majority of players

Woodsball baby

woodsball
is the spyder mr1 any good or would you get tippmann?

Tippmann hands down. Unless....you have a lot more money, time, and patience than I do to sit around and fix the Spyder. You cant beat the reliability and amount of upgrades for Tippmanns, even with guns over $1000.
