When playing paintball in the woods, you need a diffrent type of paintball marker then you would for tournament play. You need a paintball gun that is reliable and can last through long games in think brush. From my experience the Spyder Pilot is the marker to use for paintball in the woods. The Spyder Pilot is reliable and has never broken down on me. I have played woods paintball games in mud, pine forests, wet lands, and snow. My paintball marker has never let me down. Where other paintball markers have failed, the Spyder Pilot has pushed threw. Paintball Markers used in the woods also need to have a cool look. Not all paintball markers accomplish this look of realism.
