This should definately help add to the Tippmann VS. Spyder debate. ;D

Dear, Sweet, Merciful Jesus! That thing is about as UGLY as it gets! Even worse than the original M98 WITH the gills!

On a side note, it's great to see companies starting to get into the whole "rec/woods/scenario" scene again! It means that we're starting to make enough of a splash in the industry that they're going to be paying us some attention along side our brightly colored brothers on the air-ball field!

I don't know man, that thing doesn't look all that bad. I personally like it better than the MX8 "Starship Troopers" markers that JCS and SP released.

The price is attractive too - I'm sure it'll find it's place on the field.

[SilentDeath]

I actually really like the look of the MR1.. the MR2, eh, not so much.
With a nice price, I think the MR1 may do alright. I wouldn't mind having one as a back-up/loaner. I wonder about it's quality though, and how it shoots. Boy, if I had the extra cash, I'd order one.

[99GenX]

I'd rock the MR2 - I saw these a while (couple weeks) back and actually considered getting one.

Spyders really are great markers for the price.

[jestertls]

Well, glad to see they are getting Scenrio oriented. Seems to be a trend in the sports as far as the manufacturers go, toward teh scenario arena.

But remember gentlemen, no matter how they look, they are still Spyders. Your fields gun tech, will not like you for buying them. I know my field tech will not like people buying these. As well as those POS JT scenario markers. Like Nancy Reagan said, "Just Say No!"

[ferkjace]

I like the MR2...I'd love to see one and see if you can upgrade it.

[godwealth]

I dunno i like the lok of the MR2 for some reason...It reminds me of a UMP.

[MNewman15]

Can someone send me some Oust and paper towels...i have to wipe the throw up off of my key board ....I like the look of the MR1 but the MR2, ok ill drink till its hot

[Kreeper X]

I think that it's the stock on the MR2... It's just kinda... Well... UGLY!

The MR1 is better, But the "straight gas-through-mag" is just so... Well... Ugly.

On the UGLY scale, this is slightly more ugly than the JT Milsim Series...

Seriously? The JT things are the fugliest things I've ever ever ever seen

What can I say...one man's Spyder is another man's JT.

[MerrSonn]

Call me crazy, but I kinda like the MR2. More than the MR1, anyways. I think the body looks pretty good overall, although I'd probably ditch the dinky sight rail. The stock and trigger guard could also use some work, but it's really not that bad.

The Tac5, on the other hand, is absolutely PUG FUGLY.

I'm I Mag guy but come on guys spyders are good inexpensive markers that are a breeze to work on. Best bang for the buck imo. My wife has had hers for 4 years and has yet to fail on the field unlike one of my cockers. My mag has never failed either.
