ive been playing for a while, and have owned just about every type of gun out there.
Spyders: Good entry level guns pretty reliable just oil the shit and its good to go. Its not fast shooting, but hey at a rec lvl you dont need to shoot 15+ bps. There is a plus for getting high lvl guns....speaking from experience, at the higher lvls of tourney ball (if u want to play in tournaments) higher BPS helps dominates fields alot, controll lanes, bunkers and accuracy with volume helps. Ull also see higher lvl guns operate with lower pressure, and having less kick (They also look cooler). I have owned every gun out there and if i had a choice in entry lv guns id choose a Spyder or a cheap auto cocker....high lvl guns id go with DM4 or an Intimidator.

Also on a side note, 3 round burst doesnt really shoot fast, i can shoot faster than bursts with semi (and all pros and tourney people use semi auto) u can aim me at quikiblink182 for any questions or go to www.pbnation.com

PS anyone going to the tourney at Master Blasters sunday? if so look for team frenzy ill be there
