I was caught by surprise when the Spyder's vote count jumped up and over Tippmann's in the poll. Both are great guns. I was hoping the poll would be accurate enough (at the time) to display what paintballer's really prefer. I'll definitely be updating this post with more accurate information.

Spyders are alot easier to upgrade, are alot lighter and are more versitile as speedball/woodsball than a tippmann. Spyders are reliable, but tippmanns are more. They are basically indestructable, but look at resale. 60 bucks on a new gun when they cost alot more than that. Spyders are now making a move to more 'higher end'. For example they brought out their VS series, which Tippmann cannot compeat with. but when you think of tippmann, just to get a response trigger you have to do alot of work just for something that isnt totally great. For a spyder, you can buy a esp frame or what not and just use the allen wrenches and add it on. That is just a few examples. Dont get me wrong, tippmann is still great for the person who goes a few times a year at birthday parties or what not, who dont want to maintain the gun. But spyders are definatly a step up than that but think about it kyle….

Nevertheless, what features are you talking about Joseph? All the gun needs to be able to do is shoot the paintballs at a constant rate and velocity. I guess another line dividing Tippmanns and Spyders is the idea of "features" on a gun. Tippmann, obviously being absent of a lot of features, but providing simple reliability. When you have more features, you have more problems, eh? :) Well, I guess I did write this too early. Nevertheless, what features are you talking about Joseph?
