| Strengths: |
This gun is a spyder in looks only, the similarities in performance, consistency, accuracy, and efficiency, are in a class by itself. I own #0033, the last (I believe) made by AKA. I purchased this gun for the 1st spyder cup and planned to sell it after wards, but after I saw what it was capable of, I kept it and use it any chance I get. |

| Strengths: |
Well, I dont actually have the Black Widow, however, i have a custom shutter with all the akalmp upgrades. I put in a lightning bolt, akalmp valve, akalmp beaver tail, a mighty max ex chamber, and a Air america vigilante regulator. Also the gun is tricked out with a new anodized dark purple grey color, the tubing that the paintballs enter from the hopper is re-welded and connects 90 deg. at the opposite side of the frame so there is scope room, direct feed, and looks better. On top of all this the gun uses a 14" dye boomstick. This gun looks awesome, and nothing like the stock shutter, but far better. It doesnt only look good but outperforms some of the autocockers. the performance is great, i can get about 2100 shots on a 20 oz can. The gun is "EXTREAMLY" accurate. Notice how i emphasized extreamly, because it is. With a Dye barrel, and a akalmp low pressure set up with the lightning bolt, its perfect. Not only is it accurate, i have no ball breaks, NOT ONE!!!!! its perfect for snipping. The barrel and the low pressure set up, muzzles most of the sound. |

| Weaknesses: |
MONEY!!! this whole setup will cost 250 ++ if u have a gun already. and if u go as far as i did with the customizing and the barrel, well expect to spend another 190++ all together with a shutter 200+, barrel 90+, LP setup 250+, and customizing 50+ , total = 550 ++ |
|
| Conclusion: |
Well, all in all its worth it, i would suggest that if someone wanted to go low pressure all the way, they should use the akalmp parts, they are great and work. This is the best way to go if u want to upgrade ure spyder. This gun will outperform other guns and is perfect for tournament. The lP setup will save u money on co2 and u will get alot more shots out. These are the best spyder guns ever available, i dont think it can be built any better. |

Ehhh a barrel is nice! Try the SP Spyder kit (Freak Jr.) it takes the same shape but it is more accurate! |

| Strengths: |
This product is really good, umm, i reccomend all newbie players with money to buy this gun, even pro (i play pro and i love this gun), but i do reccomend a trigger job, spyder triggers suck! I interchange this gun with my cocker at tourney's! |
|
| Weaknesses: |
You can build this gun buy yourself without some of the crap that comes with it! Buy a spyder compact 2000 and get a gas through grip with a female Palmer pursuit CA this is a better upgrade, (cosmetically) still low pressure!!! |
|
| Conclusion: |
Y'all have fun now (im from the east but i like imitating peeps with accents) Paintball is life, i play when i feel down! |
