i bought a kingman spyder sonix last fall. been real happy with it. i don't play a ton and it's held up. reasonable accurate. got a whole kit which includes mask, tank, hopper and barrel plug for like $100. you can get these at walmart too.

my buddy has this one and it's really nice too.



SPYDER MR1

i think anything kingman or tippman is going to suit you fine. and it seems that all of their guns that are atleast $80 or higher can take upgrades in case you get more serious later.

i can't remember but does that have the fully auto electric trigger?
the paintball gun reviews i've read say to avoid the cheap fully auto markers. guess a good starting point for those is around $250. or buy the cheaper one and upgrade when it breaks.

The barrel kit is 150 new, the bag was 100, the gun was 350 I think, the hoppers are cheapies but they work fine, gun was just tuned and works great you can throw some paint.
