Product Availability
The Kingman Spyder E-99 is older, so while it may be available used and in a few cases new, it is not commonly available anymore.
My dad has the spyder sonix and it doesn't even compare with my gun but he is upgrading his gun and I will upgrade my gun also. We both use nitro and it helps his gun somewhat but the sonix needs another barrel and a different delrin bolt.
Marker Setup:
I got the E-99 a few days ago and this gun is awseome! Me & my dad played outside and he said that he couldn't move anywhere when I had it on 3-shot burst cuz the balls cone out so fast. and this gun is easy to carry around and isn't very heavy.
Recommended Upgrades:
I would reccomend putting a PMI barrel on it and get the ricochet 2k so I can hold the trigger for a longer time without any dry fires. I was also thinking of getting a new expansion chamber with micro-line hosing.
Strengths:
The velocity is different because it hurts a lot more to get hit with the E-99 than my dad's sonix. And in semi-auto mode the balls don't curve they just go in a straight line. Also, the trigger frame doesn't come loose, which can cause the cocking knob to move towards the front when a round is fired.
Weaknesses:
In the burst modes on the E-99 you can't shoot from a far because the balls curve to much even with nitro.
Conclusion:
I think that this is a very good gun in overall but there are a few things that could be changed on the gun, but i thought that it was accurate and could really take a beating without damaging the gun at all.
Brass Eagle Rainmaker, Spyder Flash, Spyder Flash LCD, Dark Angel LCD (if i had the money, i would of gotten that, but the E-99 can keep up with an Angel pretty well so i don't know why i'm biznatching)
Marker Setup:
When playing at the local field: Kingman Spyder E-99, 11.5 inch Aradus barrel, Ricochet 2K hopper, PMI Pure Energy 48ci tank on remote; When playing with my friends in the place we set up (good for sniping): Kingman Spyder E-99, 17 inch TASO Stone Cold 2 barrel, Ricochet 2K hopper, PMI Pure Energy 48ci tank on remote, which is on a gas through stock
Recommended Upgrades:
Its great out of the box, but i would recommend at least a motorized hopper of some sort to avoid breaking to meaning balls
Strengths:
One of the first things i've noticed is how light it was in comparsion to some of the other electros i've used. Its pretty accurate with the barrels i have, and it has an INSANE rate of fire for the price that i bought it for looks pretty good too
Weaknesses:
only real things i noticed can be easily fixed. A new barrel is pretty much a must, but with most guns thats a given. It might as well be a blender if you don't get a motorized hopper. And last but certainly not least.......... a car charger............... wtf, come on now, Kingmans a smart company couldn't they come up with something better then a car charger?
Conclusion:
Over all this gun is well worth the money that i payed for it. I was kind of set off about my order at first, because the week it got here, i was playing with a borrow Dark Angel, and i must say i was obsessed. But this gun proved me wrong the first time i played with it, took out 4 out of the 5 members of a team me and my people were playing with. Gave it a 9 cause nothings perfect
