| Review: |
I was deciding on getting a new gun when i saw that spyder had released a new series of redesigned spyders. After reading reviews of the original victor, I thought I might give the new one a try. It was fairly cheap(I got mine off ebay for 60 bucks) so i wasn't really expecting a whole lot out of this marker. I took it out to a local scenario game and much to my dismay, found that it came out of the box shooting at 320 fps. It turned the screw all the way down, but it was still shooting a hot 305-310. The problem was quickly solved though by simply cutting the spring. Performance on the other hand was not a problem, I fired 1000 rounds and not one chopped or broke in my barrel. A new barrel is a definite. With a new barrel, the victor is a pretty acurate gun. My only other complaint would be the stock feed neck, but that's easily replaced. |
|
| Conclusion: |
The victor is a solid gun for it's price range, and if given upgrades can really become a force to be reckoned with. Get it if your low on cash or if your trying to get into the sport. |

| Review: |
The new 2007 victor is a cheap, reliable gun for guys who just want to have fun and are not too serious about paintball. I myself use it in open plays at the local arena and it works great. I was hitting guys with Angels and Bob longs. I do recommend an electric hopper because from my expirenence, when you shoot semi-fast (pretty much as fast as you can squeeze the trigger on the gun) it tends to not load when you are using a gravity hopper. I suggest the Quantum. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great gun! (for the price) |

| Review: |
Overall, this is a great gun. Very customizable and easy to clean/use.The stock feedneck keeps the hopper up to high. The stock bolt is a great improvement over the older spyders aluminum bolts, the delron is self lubricating and won't wear down/scratch the inside of your gun. The stock velocity spring shoots way too hard and causes the gun to be innacurate, but after a few days of using this gun, the spring will improve and become more consistant. The barrel is good with the right paint (proper fit), as any barrel will be. The one thing I really noticed was the stock screws will vibrate right out of the gun. (my trigger frame fell off in the middle of a game, lmao!) But Loctite will fix this, get the blue stuff, the red will never come off! |
|
| Conclusion: |
A very great gun for every style of play. Highly Recomended. |

| Review: |
If you are trying to find a beginner gun or a back up this would be a great gun. Really fun to shoot. My freinds are afraid of it just a great alround gun for the price. One time i let my friend use it he said it was the best marker he has ever used. One of my friends said if it was upgraded to the max it could beat a bob long marker |
|
| Conclusion: |
It is a good marker for the price hasen't chopped yet have fired over 1000 rounds through it |

Recommended
Upgrades: |
- Barrel (although stock one is tolerable)
- Clamping feed neck is a must
- For faster firing, either get a trigger with less of a pull or an e-trigger frame
- Make a fore grip or get an assault block with an expansion chamber |

- Sturdy
- Simple to maintain |
|
| Weaknesses: |
- Stock feed neck is total garbage
- Delrin bolt looks cheap (but effective)
- No fore grip |
|
| Review: |
This is the perfect entry level marker for a beginner like myself. For the price of 60 dollars, it performs impressively in its stock form. With the right paint, shots will be consistent and relatively accurate.
However, the trigger has way too far of a reach and since it's a mechanical, the highest bps anyone is gonna get is perhaps 5. You will get smoked on the field. This is why I recommend buying a trigger with a shorter pull or an e-trigger frame. Doing so will considerably up your game.
Also, the stock feed neck is horrendous. The plastic lil' thing is way too high and your hopper will constantly be spinning about. I highly suggest a clamping feed neck. Although 25/30 bucks for such a small part may seem expensive, it is essential.
When you're ready to play more competitively, there are a host of other upgrades to slap onto a trusty '07 Victor. For one, with an e-trigger frame, an expansion chamber would be a nice upgrade. It'll also add that fore grip that is so lacking.
The Victor is also incredibly easy to maintain. It's simple design makes periodic lubrication and cleaning hassle-free |
|
| Conclusion: |
All in all, if you're a beginner, or an intermediate player who's low on money, this gun will sure give you some big bangs for your buck. And once you're a better player, there are plenty of parts to upgrade so your marker wont fall behind your progression. Plus, upgrading the parts will give you a better understanding of how each part works. |

| Review: |
Alright so i bought this gun because i was paintballing the next day.and my vl lancer( crap) like exploded. So i was tight on money and my dad i think felt bad that i was struggling so mutch with my other gun so we went to sports athouraty or however you spell it , to get a new cheap gat. I felt kinda bad but i went and found this gun. It was a spyder and not a crappy vl and it also had good reviews on pb review. So i bought it took it home. It was hard to get out of the ultra-high security box. It was like 10 at night and i was eager to shoot it. I took a few shots and ther paint almost EVAPORATED on the wheel barrel i was shooting at. This gun actually SHOT unlike my lancer. I got it to atleast 8 pbs which was pretty fast for a mech out of the box. BUt then t started choping uber. So i take it in and turndown the velocity. I could turn it down a little bit but then it got really really tight. I shot some more and it was a little better. The next day at the feild i was pumped to pwn some noobs. I chrono the fancy new gun and it came in at about 318 fps. A little hot. So i tried to turn it down but i couldnt because it was to tight. So he jamed the alen key in and stripped the velocity adjuster. He just let me go in so i was shooting hot all day. I got my balls and one of them was broken in the bag so they were all soft and what not. So i was shooting hot with soft balls....lol. So it kinda choped alot. To this day i cant turn it down and im thinking about trimming the spring a little bit. That day i got like 14 eliminations that day.

|
| Conclusion: |
Well its a good gun with the propper mods it will rip. it does stock
buy it |

| Strengths: |
I find the gun to fire straight consistently when using good paint. easy to maintain. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
The stock elbow and feed neck are weak, and lack of a front grip |
|
| Review: |
I got this gun as a present from my brother and it is really good for those not-so-hardcore paintballers, like myself. the plastic elbow is really flimsy but that is a simple fix by getting an aluminum clamping feed neck. The stock barrel is ok but an upgrade to a 10 inch barrel should yield noticeable results. Good paint is the biggest and most effective "upgrade" for this gun as I found it to respond poorly to cheap paint. My only problem is lack of a front grip. you can make one relatively easily from some soft foam inserts. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I love the gun a lot and i think that if it had a front grip, it would be alot better accuracy wise. i give a nine because it fits my style well. |

| Review: |
you notice that I havent said anything nice about this marker, that's because my experience with this marker was really bad, the first time i took it out, it jammed up, it wasnt accurate enough, and there wasnt a grip and that stunk. I will say that what did have going for it was that it was light & cheap.However this was my first marker ever and it almost put me off paintball I hated it so much, it was so inconsistent, and poor quality, maybe I just got a lemon in the production line, but the marker isnt that great in my opinion, to those of you looking to buy a new marker I think it'd be wiser to invest in a sonyx or at least a different type of victor. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Dont buy it, period spend an extra 15$ for something more worthwhile |

Upgrades: |
Electronic hopper with 20 ounce CO2 tank and some sort of good grip will make the spyder work amazing for a semi gun |
|
|
|

| Strengths: |
Good accuracy, Really good strength, very reliable gun |
|
| Weaknesses: |
The only weakness is that is it a semi - auto gun |
|
| Review: |
The Spyder Victor 2 is a very reliable gun and is good for a beginner... I bought it off of my friend and even though It is semi - auto, it works very good with nice power and accuracy. It is a pretty light weight gun and works a lot better with an electronic hopper. With a gravity hopper holding around 150 paintballs and a 20 ounce CO2 tank, the gun will weigh around 7 - 8 pounds. It is a very nice gun to use for woods ball also. I used it not to long ago at my friends house with 2 other of my friends with better guns and i kicked there butts with it, other than being shot twice in the crotch :O...I highly recommend this gun for begginers or anybody that wants a Semi - Auto gun. Another thing is that it bairly ever chops the paint and when it does, it is a very minimal amount |
|
| Conclusion: |
Again, Electronic hopper and 20 Ounce CO2 makes it a very nice and powerfull gun |

| Review: |
I got this gun for christmas and I dident know what to exspect, i opened it up and took it into the woods and shot it, it is decent for an 85$ gun. I have yet to take it a good wooddsball course but im sure ill do just fine with it. Dont buy this gin if you cannot afford upgrades. The rocking trigger for this gun is hard to get and fit, if you do find one though youll shred with it. You can definalty hold your own at a field wilth this gun.!!! Get it if you have the means of so.... |
|
| Conclusion: |
ONLY GET IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY UPGRADES. if you buy upgrades this gun will kill!!!! |
