| Review: |
I bought this gun about 2 weeks ago and have been out to play twice with it. I had been using the VL Triad players kit which I payed $70 for on a special at Wal-Mart with good results, but I did want a better gun. The first time I went out to play with the gun it was a cloudy 73 degree day that was dry despite the clouds. The gun performed very well, but lacked accuracy and chopped a little more than I wanted because I was playing with the stock barrel, so that night I whent to the local paintball store and bought a 12 inch Teardrop barrel and put the thing on right away. 9 days later, I went to play again and both the accuracy, and chopping problem had been fixed by the barrel and now the thing is almost perfect. It chops about 1/100 balls and I hit a guy who was about 70 yards away dead on. CO2 does not leak at all and the gun has not locked up once thus far. You have done it again Kingman. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
This is a good marker for the price and I would highly recommend this marker to anyone who wants thier own equipment. I liked this gun a lot more than my friends Victor II and my old Triad and all I can say is, get this gun. |

Grab yourself a new barrel (preferably 14" and either J&J or Smart Parts).
If you have the extra cash go ahead and buy a new trigger and a drop forward kit. |

Does not chop. Quiet. Superior accuracy. Awesome. |

New barrel even though the stock is fine. |
 |
| Review: |
This gun does not chop anything. I have shot some of the worst paint imaginable. You could put anything in this gun and you will not have any problems at all. Also this gun is one of the quietest that I have heard. And nothing measures up to it in accuracy as far as a stock gun and barrel.
I have not had any problems with this gun. Only thing that I can say is bad is that the barrel is not that great. But a 30 dollar barrel will do the trick. The only other upgrade other than that is a drop forward kit. But all guns need one of those am I not correct. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
No chops. Quiet. Accurate. What more could you want from a cheaply priced gun. This is good with no upgrades but could be made into a great gun for not that much more. |

| Review: |
This paintball gun is so great for the price but after you add all the upgrade to the gun it ends up being kind of expensive. Even with all the upgrades it's a good price. I highly recommend this paintball gun to beginners because it's a simple cheap gun. But after you start knowing your way around paintball guns you can find the upgrades that suit the way you play. If you use cheap paint through this gun it just doesn't work that well. I recommend PMI premium Paintballs. They are a little harder then cheap paintballs so they don't dent as easily which makes them much more accurate. I'll post my picture when I have all the upgrades I want on my gun(who knows when that's going to be). |
 |
| Conclusion: |
I would definitely get this Paintball gun |

| Review: |
I just bought this gun and it is amazing. I has a super light trigger pull and and is very nice to hold. It has a very good weight distribution and is very attractive. I got this at a local paintball store and it was 109.95. A very good price for an even better gun. It shoots very straight, even with a stock barrel. Mine is mostly black with red highlights. A very nie looking gun that lives up to its look in preformance. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
Buy this gun. |

| Review: |
This is actually a great marker! It`s that simple to describe! The only thing you really need to upgrade is the barrel. . . I Use a 32D. 16" Terminator, and i can hit 8/10 shots, on a soda can from 27feet away.(Crappy English, i know...) Really a great marker for the cash. . . . And why buy an Electra when all you need is a barrel, a Electric hopper, and a E- trigger frame ?(+the sonix) :P and by the way, i use the Swisscaps "AmmoBOX" Paint and havent had a single break !!! |
 |
| Conclusion: |
This thing is Wicked! Buy NOW! |

| Review: |
This gun is awesome. It is accurate with or without an better barrel. Out of the over 10k paintball I have put through it, I have only chopped two, and I put some of the worst paint money can buy through this gun. The Sonix is also really quiet compared to other guns I have tried, especially with a good barrel. I haven't had a single problem with this gun. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
This gun is accurate, quiet, doesn't chop, and is lightweight besides. It is good stock, but can be made great for minimal $$$. |

| Review: |
My friend Austin has this gun, i dont even have it, but i pretty much tell him what upgrades to get cause hes pretty new to the game and just got this gun a few weeks ago. From my point of view it is prolly one of the best looking spyders there is.(all of the upgrades i am about to list are NOT a must, only if u have a money for it) Defenitly need a new barrel. could use a new expansion chamber, cause if u wanna get the ESP frame (electric), you might chop a few if u are using co2, but the ACS bolt will help a little if u dont want the expansion chamber. or you could just get the bullet volumizer, and make your gun look cooler and hold a lil more air(kinda like a mini expanison chamber.)dye stickies grips cause they feel good and look cool, new feedneck if u want your hopper to hold better and look better on ur gun. drop forward to balance out the weight. a better spring for a little bit higher velocity, my friend needed one cause he kept chronoing at around 220 with stock spring with velocity turned all the way up for some reason. electronic hopper if u get the E-Frame.You could get a T-Board w/anti-chopping eyes if u want. Right now my friend has a........
-Spyder Sonix 90$
-"14 PMI Razzor Barrel 30$
-Lapco Clamping Feedneck 25$
-Shcoktech Striking Spring 2$
-ACS Bolt 30$
He is still planning on getting the spyder bullet volumizer 20$, and electric hopper(Halo TSA, 50$) a drop forward 30$, and Dye Sticky 3 grips (for ESP Frames) 23$.
If you get this gun it has SOO many possibilities. this is a good gun if u upgrade it, it looks sweet too. and i know what im talking about cause i've gone thorugh lots of differnet guns. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
Great beginner gun, lots of upgrades possible too |

Ive used this gun for three months and it is great. The accuracy is pretty good, its never choped even when I use brass eagle paint and its got great durability. I went paintballing the other day and I took out 5 people in one match with some high end markers . Ive had no problems with this gun. |

Overall this gun is great. Its great for begginers. I reccomend it to anyone whos starting off paintball and wants a great begginer gun for a great price. |

| Review: |
Before we start, I haven't shot any balls through it YET. I've dry fired. Ok this gun is pretty cheap, $90-100 online. I bought the Sonix Value Pack, the mask, is straight up CRAP. The foam fell off the second day of use! The tank, 12oz isn't that bad i guess, basic tank... it gets the job done. I dry fired the gun on Co2 and it was loud, louder then my Xtra, as for accuracy i'm not sure but i'm guessing it wouldn't be too great. The gun itself is very small and light. It looks pretty good too. The internals are the same as the Xtra except it's top cocking and not rear cocking |
 |
| Conclusion: |
All in all this is a good beginner gun, at a good price! |

| Review: |
This marker is awesome it shots great, doesnt chop,and its light. The stock barrel is pretty good other than the fact that its loud. The trigger is very light and good. Its pretty easy to to field strip, but havent had to do it yet because i havent chopped a single ball with it yet and its gone through 2 cases of paint already. The marker does shot hot out of the box though mine was reading 390 fps when i first chrono it and i turned it down a notch at home before going out, but that doesnt really matter |
 |
| Conclusion: |
Overall this a great marker for begginners it has good looks performes great. |
