| Review: |
Over all this is an incredible marker for the price I got it (thanks Byron) but anyway back to the marker, it is very long the stock barrel is only 12 in. but the darn thing is freggin' long, that trying to duck around a tree or corner is a feat in its self. The trigger pull is very sensitive it takes some getting used to and is just a thing you need to get taken care of either threw practice or a new trigger . |
|
| Conclusion: |
This gun rocks you have the money to invest get it you will not be disappointed be the performance of this or any decent piranha product |

| Review: |
i bought this gun January, 2004 and immediately after shooting it, i knew it must have many up-grades. i have been using this website to find my ups and then purchased them from an online store. it has taken me nearly 2 years to get my gun perfected and i finally have with all the ups listed. i went to my local store and bought a proto 14" barrel for $65 and then went out to play today, October 15,2005. i shot through a case and a half not chopping a single ball. all because of my new blot, valve and barrel. the valve boosts consistency and your rate of fire to about twice of what it was factory. Also, with the NDZ high-floe valve, you can drop your operating pressure by about 200 psi "I did". next, a new bolt is needed. the Shocktech Superfly bolt greatly helps with your distance and accuracy of the paintball. another must have is compressed air. it helps with your consistency and you can play on colder days without much trouble. Finally, a new trigger is a must have. because the factory trigger was completely impossible to walk, i bought the rocker trigger and it has taken my spyder to a new level of speed. i can shoot lanes easily at about 15 BPS and there are no chops or stray balls flying all over the field. the rocker trig. frame is a very good trigger frame |
|
| Conclusion: |
With about $250 worth or up-grades you can shoot like the pro's |

| Review: |
This gun is a really nice gun but im upgrading to a WGP 2004 prostock. The gun is a satisfactory gun but not a prize winner, i would prefer other kingmans and spyders over this one. With this price you could buy a nice trilogy autococker, those are nice and cheap unlike this gun. No hard feelings toward this gun but i am not satisfied of its performance over the years |
|
| Conclusion: |
I wouldnt buy this gun because with its price u could get something better |

| Review: |
some people said the barrel is a two piece barrel but its welded.. i dont know if mine is a faulty one, but with a lot of effort i guess i loosend it quite a bit.. and my friend was playing with it and he separated the 2 pieces... both of them are fully in tact and nothings wrong..
this gun shoots very very fast so i recommend a new barrel and a lot of paintballs.
this gun and the imagine are almost identical but electra dx is better..
buy this over a 500 dollar gun that u get same quality for.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
even tho its kinda expensive u cant go wrong with this gun |

Upgrades: |

|
| Strengths: |
Accurate, consistant, doesnt break... pinches balls sometimes, when shooting full auto |
|
| Weaknesses: |
when it chops.. i would feel safer with a sling shot it is very unaccurate |
|
| Review: |
I have had a few unexplained o-ring breaks and i dont know what it is caused by but it shoots very great, and the price is right especially for a gun that can kick some serious ass when the right player is using it, the gun could have some more colors available, but no complaints, its not really how it looks its how it performs and it works well |
|
| Conclusion: |
In Conclusion, Buy this marker, or the AMG... both very similar, but its very good |

| Review: |
At first, I was VERY happy with this gun. Hadn't used it in the field yet, but shot very fast, and accurate. Then I went rec balling. Everything just fell apart, all the screws came very loose within 3 games. Eventually my trigger frame became so loose that I was losing CO2, and would fire unexpectingly, on safety. I am very dissapointed with this gun. Oh, did I say the guage broke? |
|
| Conclusion: |
If your thinking about getting this gun, go for the flash or the E-99. Better guns for a lower price. |

| Strengths: |
looks nice with stock barrel, accurate, fast |
|
| Weaknesses: |
chops balls, too expensive, the bolt, just about everything CO2 hose breaks easy, heavy |
|
| Review: |
first the bolt got so scratched up with only 2000 rounds that i had to get a new one. oh buy the way, whats the deal with a 2 piece 14 inch barrel that is welded together. then the hose broke when i twisted in my CO2 Tank after only 10 games, so i had to screw my CO2 tank in vertically. then the barrel got so scratched up form just sitting in the case. (i don't understand either) i finally said screw it and i just rented 3 year old guns that worked better. |
|
| Conclusion: |
i played about 30-40 games of paintball with this gun and almost every game something went wrong DO NOT BUY |
