Spyder/excellerator

[BNI]

Hey there

I have currently got an old spyder classic, upgraded a bit, but nothing to special, i want to get a new gun and start there again but i am torn between the spyder e99 or the jt excellerator. I am realying on you guys to help me. Also if there is another marker in that price range that is better could you also recommend that.
Thanks

Get the e-99.

I had a JT 5.0 and it caused mr nothing but trouble, worthless pieces of sh*t. when they work, they are good. The e-99 is probably a bit better performance wise and is just so much more reliable.

As an alternative, you could save up and buy a second hand autococker or an impulse, both of which are hugely superior to an e99 or excellerator.

Just my 2p, but...

I'd save up for a low-end tournament gun. It sounds like you've done your share of open-bolt blow backs; I think it's time to move on. Granted, you can get a decent fate of fire out of some of the cheap electros, but at the end of the day, it's not going to compete with a 'gun built to higher standards. I'd say get a used autococker, mag, impulse, or something like that. You'll be able to tell the difference.

Wouldn't touch a JT 5.0 with a barge pole. They are rubbich!

and any thoughts on the silver bullet? i ultimitly wanna go for a tourny marker but they are so expensive here is South Africa. Would u trust buying off e-bay?

i wouldn't buy a paintball gun off ebay, just take a look at the classifieds section here, i'm sure that if you pay someone they'll ship a marker out to you! you can pic up a reasonable nice mag for about £100, or one with a level 10 bolt and retro valve for about £150

thanks, and any thoughts on the silver bullet by national??? i haven't read any reviews on it, so i don't know how it compares.
thanks

Buy an Automag RT or RT Pro...very fast markers, might have a level10 bolt so it wont chop!
Accurate, reliable...I have a sound file of mine doing 18 BPS if you need proof!
Ask anyone very good marker, its not electro but doesnt ned to be!
Go to classsifieds, "High end automag parts" he has an RT for sale.

If i had the choice between the 2 i would choose the E99. I had one as my main marker until i bought an ir3 a month or so ago. Its a good marker for the price and it can compete with the higher end markers, but obviously not as well.

But if i was you i would save up just that little bit more money and buy a decent second hand tornament marker like some of the ones already suggested
