for the price of a shutter your nearly at the price of an autococker or a spyder flash electro i recomend either of those above the shutter . If that is more then you wish to spend I would suggest getting a copy of what paintball gear as its full of great info . (personally i prefer piranha over spyder in the entry level department but thats just my opinion)
Hey New-guy,
I recommend you set yourself a maximum of how much you want to spend on it. Then we can probably give you a bit more specific help.

Well - I have a shutter (got second hand) and its a very nice marker. BUT, nd this is a very big but - it has a new reg. and a new barrel. THe shutter is basically the Spyder TL with a reg / expansion chamber. However, the reg and barrel are both crappy and you would soon want to upgrade them, thus wasting the extra money spent on the shutter.
So I would recommend that if you want to get a high end blowback, get a more stock one so you're not wasting money upgrading average parts (Ie you can upgrade crappy parts).
I also agree with jeevusmax. that you must set a price limit for yourself. I think you would be better off with a stock cocker if you can afford it as you will find yourself constantly wanting to upgrade stuff on a marker. So it would be better to be upgrading a cocker than a spyder as cockers are basically better (IMHO, don't start a bloomin' spyders are as good as cockers war here)
Thats just my opinion, but if you get a spyder, first upgrade should be a new barrel then a new reg, whereas for a cocker I would get a new barrel then maybe a new bolt.
Thankyou and goodnight,
Tom

Come on guys i have price limit on around $200. The regulator on the gun would be good 4 me. I have already thought about getting a barrel upgrade. Guys i dont have like $700 to spend on the gun. youve got to keep it small 4 now!
have a look at what u can get second hand... try a mag or something like that... u might be able to get one for $200.

Ummm first of all i recommended a shutter to him and for everyone that thinks that spyders suck...think again. My friend, who is also new-guy88 friend, has a spyder tl plus and it never has any problems. The only upgrades he got were a new bolt and a 16" armson stealth barrel which he hates because it lobs balls, but anyway on another thread someone said that spyders cant shoot over 260 fps. And ive got news for them my friend was at a local tourney today and was shooting 290 with no problem. Oh yeah and on the topic of a second hand marker.... I wouldnt buy a marker from someone unless i knew who used it personally. Thats just the way i am.
Hey Hey ...
The black dragon is only $200. Spyder internals, and it rips. Very good begginer 'gun ... Check it out in WPG if you can.

Yeah i thought about a black dragun. It seems to be a pretty good electronic marker for just $200.
