Is a spyder MR1 a good paintball gun?

Both have perks. Stereotypically players have always favored the Tippmans more then the Spyders. Because of their renowned durability and customization. the MR1 is a decent gun, though not the quality of a Tippman.

ever since 04 however Tippmanns quality has dropped (Ben Tippmann left the company and the board made changes to make more profit) the new markers are just as durable as the rest of the entry level market. In today's market the value has dropped out of tippmann since you can have a entry level spyder with as much if not more performance than a tippmann for less money
