Is the Spyder MR1 a good long lasting paintball marker to buy

Question

Does this marker break and end up needing repair alot, and is it a strong gun

Answer 1

Not at all, any spyder is very unreliable, go with a tippmann, there very reliable and very upgradeable and never ever break. a tippmann 98 custom is great and so is the a-5 if you like to shoot a bit faster.

Answer 2

ive never had a spyder but tippmanns are the most reliable markers ever made...my 98 lasted me for 4 years with no problems at all... You could bury a tippmann in a desert for 10 year and dig it up a fire it with no problems... ive dropped mine in a pool and it actually fired completly submerged... Mainly if you want a gun that will last get any tippmann model  

Answer 3

Don't know about the MR1 but I had a friend who had a spyder, didn't last him too long. The Co2 line busted only after going paintballing like 4 times. I bought a Tippmann refurbished 98 Custom. That gun is super reliable. You could go with the A5 or w/e if you have money, but I upgraded my Tippmann with a response trigger, cyclone feed, and threw a 20 inch freak barrell on it. Unstoppable. All together about $300 some odd dollars with all the upgrades and the gun. shoots 15 balls per second!
