I have a few questions......

Hello everyone out there in internet p8ntball land,
I am a total newbie from Pennsylvania, and I play out back off my house, in the extra 2 acres of land we have. I never have money, and when I do it is normally a small amount. This being the case, I found a point zero model 83 (the little black plastic marker) on the internet(eBay) for $20. To me this seemed like a wonderful deal so I bought one(he was selling 10 of them). I was wondering what I should do, save and buy a spyder, or, save and upgrade what I have, but , remember, I only play with a group of friends, not on a team or anything. To throw another wrench into the whole situation, my family and I are probably moving to Florida. So, in conclussion, are Point Zeros ok? and also, does anyone have a Spyder Compact (or similar) for sale, CHEAP b/c I have absolutely no cash to speak of(about $15).


HAPPY NEW YEAR


Jake

At the level you're playing i'd say a point zero will work fine . I'm pretty sure they arnt very upgradeable so i suggest you just stick with your pointzero for a while till you get more into the sport or have more money . the field i play at has point zero's as rental guns and for the price there pretty good . it wont compete with an auococker but should do you just fine . on the plus side there nice and simple and seem to be really reliable .

yup......

I agree with you, so far after about 4 months of having it I have not had to do one thing to it(besides oil/clean it after every use) so yea i would say it is pretty reliable. Me and a friend were having a shootout and he was shooting marbelizer on a spyder and i was shoooting viewloader and I broke less than he did with my point zero. The other thing i like about a point zero is that I can get them for $20 a piece, so I am not afraid to to a few homemade modifications(added homemade stock, ported barrel, painted barrel etc.).

Just like rockin said. Stick with the model 83 til you get into the game more. By the way, are you the same kid that ran that thread about how to spiral port your barrel and then ended up crackin on angels?
