What Paintball Gun? (in Off-topic)

Went paintballing last night, had a blast (got blasted with the terrible rental gun) and now I want to buy my own. A friend said to get an all in one package from Walmart or Sports Authority. I found a Spyder Package , but I don't know what any of you guys think. Also, price is a factor because I'm buying it with my own money, not like I'm getting it for a Christmas present or anything.

what ever you do dont get it from wallmart, get it from a place that sells paintball guns only you might have to pay more but you get a better gun

If it's just a package of brand-name parts, does it really matter where I buy it from? It's not like Walmart is trying to sell their own product, they're just putting up for sale products that another company has made... right?

The ready made packages may be cheap but they aren't quality at all, they are more likely to break down on you than the ones you get at the institute.
If anyone here is still in contact with Todd then I suggest you ask them if they would be willing to give you his info. so you can get in touch with him about mid-range equipment if you want a really decent gun that will serve you well for a long period of time.
