Which paintball gun??

[shark]

I am looking for my second paintball gun. I have only played a few times with my old twenty dollar paintball gun. I want to get back into the paintball world and spend around $150 what would you recommend. I would like something that is reliable and easy to use but a gun that has good range and accuracy. Thanks for your help

Piranha or Spyder

Check into possibly a Piranha or Spyder markers. They have models in your price range that are fully upgradeable.

how bout a aci sinister all the parts are interchangleble with a spyder shutter but way way cheaper like 100 bucks cheaper and they shoot great

and no jt guns suck doesnt matter 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 they have problems trust mi i work at ACI in otaririo CA and we sold them for a while and mo then half of them were sent back

I would go with a m98 custom with an after market barrel, you can get it for about $150....www.thepaintballstore.com has some good packages

then why does the jt excellerator 3.0 have a 9.5 rating out of ten??? I can buy a new jt excellerator gun for $110 and a case and its all brand new. I think I might prefer to spend closer to $100 than $150.

I take it you're referring to the pbreview ratings? I'd take them with a pinch of salt - most people either rate something as a 10 or a 1 depending on wildly subjective opinions - some even rate a product without even having tried it!

I've never used a JT, so if you've tried one out and are happy with it, then go for it - but Tippmans have a good reputation as a solid and dependable gun, so if you have any hard evidence that JT's are less reliable (or anecdotal evidence from someone you trust) it might be better to spend a little more $ on better construction and hardier materials

well i want to buy the gun locally and we only have two stores that sale them walmart and big 5 sporting goods. and if it breaks it is a lot easier to take it back and I also need the gun in a couple of days, I dont want to take a chance on the shipping
