Default Paintball

Im gonna buy a paintball gun fairly soon, willing to spend $150-$200. What's a good gun to get. It's for field play, not tournaments, nothing too fancy

I would get a nice pump action if you want to improve your skills.

If not, then any Tippmann semi will do. Very durable.

I have a Spyder and used to play tournament with it. Not a bad gun overall and within your price range.

Mods for it are all over the place and fairly inexpensive.

Hahaha you know nothing about the sport I take it because pump is the toughest and most skilled class out there.

Obviously you also didn't read my post past the name of the marker.....I played competition with Spyder guns for 3 years and we placed well....in fact our entire team used them to prove a point to the Autococker fags on the field.

Big money guns don't mean you can play worth a shit...just means you can use more paint than the next guy and paint by numbers is for pu$$ys.
