I wont knock a Tippmann, they are a great gun. But it has a major limitation. Taking it apart is a pain, especially on the field. The Spyder MR1 I have found to have equal range, accuracy and reliability. Is VERY durable, no cheap plastic. You can strip it for cleaning in less than a minute. Looks sharper out of the box and cheaper to purchase. You cant go wrong with a tippmann but dont listen to all the hype. The MR1 is just as good if not better and in my opinion the better choice...especiall for someone just starting out.
