Spyder Shutter - Both are good looking but the imagine's capabilities are beyond compare
Marker Setup:
Spyder Imagine-Black/Green-Custom VL Barrel-Brass Eagle Laser Sight-200 round non agitated hopper-co2 adapter-20 oz co2
Recommended Upgrades:
12''+ Barrel and an electric hopper
Strengths:
sensitive trigger ( fires as fast as you pull ).... Awesome design....3 firing modes
Weaknesses:
No weakness except for the barrel it comes with. (I prefer it over ANY gun)
Review:
Ok, i'd have to say this gun is the best ever. With an upgraded barrel your set to go. This thing is a real beast. The design is awesome. I'd prefer it over any gun ever. The electronic trigger is the greatest, it fires so quickly and smoothly in semi auto, and also has 3 burst/ full auto capability. I recommend an electronic hopper for that though. The only problem is, you'll have to buy a really nice hopper for this baby, cuz the cheap ones aren't gonna keep up with this thing's 13+ balls per second. This thing can really make people bite the dust in paintball wars. So if anyone is planning on getting a nice semi auto, i suggest this over any other gun.
Conclusion:
BEST GUN EVER. Anyone looking for a spyder should get this. Its the best gun ever, and best of all, its at an unbelievably low price. As low as $120-$140. Bottom line is, this gun rules over any other gun, including the lame autocockers.

Review:
My 2 cousins have this gun and its pretty good. it only chops a little bit of the balls you shoot. the stock barrel is not too bad either. you can shorten the trigger pull pretty far. its electric so you can shoot fast and accurate. its not long either. if it is get a drop forward. My cousin, Brian, came down to my dads with me and we played a woods ball like game. after that we were standing kinda far away and his stock is as accurate as hell. at the time i didnt have my J&J ceramic barrel so it was not to accurate. but this gun is pretty cool!!!! and its a good beginner/intermediate gun.
Conclusion:
I like this gun. the only thing i dont like is that it chops balls kinda much. its no biggy so i give it a 9 out of 10. i still say u BUY THIS GUN!!!!!!

Review:
This is the AK-47 of paintball! i got this gun stock in exchange for a 32 degrees PT extreme, and it was the best deal ive ever done in my life. since then, it has eveolve into the sexiest, most badass, most reliable gun i own. i use it primarily for speedball, but it works well for woods. It's really compact, too. This gun shoots smooth as silk w/ nitro, and works ok with co2. With my imagine, i can seriously compete with the guys with their 700 dollar cockers. I can do like 15 balls per second with this on semi. its full auto really does suck, about 8 or 9 b.p.s.. It is really reliable. Just last week, some kid spilled water all over its grip. for about 2 hours, it would only do 3 round burst. When I got home, i blow-dried it, and it was good as new. This gun is awesome!
Conclusion:
Anyone looking for a reliable gun that can compete with the big dogs, and won't break the bank, go for this. I've played every kind of paintball with mine for 2 years, and its still going strong.
a good barrel, hpa system, upgraded board, quick hopper
Strengths:
powerful and consistent
Weaknesses:
nothing
Review:
this is a great gun for any body. this gun is accurate and can lay down some balls. it is very powerful and can hang with most guns. it is cheap and very very sexy. buy it now if you are lookin for a good quality gun for cheap. i love my imagine.
Conclusion:
great gun for anybody that wants to lay down some balls and not spend a lot of money.
seems to chop paint sometimes. But maybe get an eletric hopper
Review:
Ive had this gun for 6mos. It was a great gun for $115.00 I got a 20oz tank with a drop foward and it works great. The only problem I have is that it break paint alot. I suggest this gun for beginners because it is easy to clean and work. I am now getting the Tippmann A-5 because its time for a change and some more power.
Conclusion:
If your a beginner get this GUN!! It will work great and for the price it is a good buy
all american barrel, electronic hopper like a halo,
Strengths:
firering modes = high and low auto, high and low 3-round burst, and semi
Weaknesses:
chops balls up rarely depending on the barrel
Review:
i like this gun alot. i have had it for about a year and it has served me well. maitanance is very easy. if u are an auto kind of guy like my self u better have a good barrel and electronic hopper to back up the rate up fire. it shoots fast but will chop up balls if u dont have wut i said. i have only had a couple during game problems. after an extensive use of auto the trigger sometimes skips and doesnt respond.another thing is the battery drains quickly.
Conclusion:
all in all this is a good marker because of its modes of auto and burst but needs serious upgrades to keep make its abilities top notch. i would recomend it to someone whoo has the money to spend on accessories.
Green Spyder Imagine, 16 inch Demon fade green barrel, 20 and 12 oz co2 tanks, 12 volt Revvy.
Recommended Upgrades:
A barrel and definitly a motorized hopper.
Strengths:
Accurate, consistent, looks good, and can fire very fast
Weaknesses:
Can and will chop unless you get good paint and a motorized hopper
Review:
Played with this gun about 10 times, and im always able to beat my friends Tippmans and autocockers. The gun can be extremely accurate with the right upgrades. I chop alot but only because i buy cheap paint, but with the right paint you should be ok. The gun is very easy to clean, but ive noticed after i take it apart to clean the bolt has gotten very scratched up. Overall i love this gun, and i do recommend it if you will pay the extra money to upgrade some parts.
Conclusion:
Buy the gun, it can match autocockers and tippmans easily in accuracy and efficiency.

nice triger
good air use
Weaknesses:
battery dose not last long
Review:
This marker is a light marker that is good for beginers, it is bad for sanerios because of the battery. The battery only lasts 8 hours. Also the electic triger is a wast cause you cant use it in senarions or turnaments. It is better to buy an A-5 with reponse because it needs no batterys. This gun has good co2 use so you can use a 9oz tank and shoot 500 shots thats good.
Spyder Imagine w/o bottomline setup, 14" PMI razzor, 14 oz co2 and viewloader revolution 12v w/ x-board
Recommended Upgrades:
personal preference really, but you might want to remove the bottomline setup for a more compact setup until you can buy a good drop as no drop is included
a barrel maybe, stock isnt too bad but it's pretty loud and accuracy could improve
definitely check into a motorized hopper for the fast firing rates you will likely achieve
Strengths:
good bps, nice trigger pull after mods, looks great, battery lasts long
Weaknesses:
loud with stock barrel, kind of a lot of kick
Review:
I can't make too many comments yet because I just got this gun for Christmas and have yet to play a real game with it, but from my test shooting in the backyard it seems like a really nice gun. The feel to it is a nice solid one, it doesn't feel like it'll break anytime soon. As far as looks go, it's fantastic. Good firing rate, comfortable to hold, pretty accurate, easy to clean, just about everything is awesome. The only complaints I have are the fact that it is pretty loud with the stock barrel, which would need a new barrel to fix, and it has a good amount of kick to it. Not so much as it will completely throw you off, but enough for you to feel it pretty good. Still, an excellent marker for anyone really, it can be upgraded easily...a solid performer.
NOTE I will update this review if it is necessary after my first game with it.
Conclusion:
A good gun, nice price, easy to use, highly recommended

Review:
Awesome gun for the price! Definetly a must for a new player or even a intermediate/veteran. Can be upgraded and made even BETTER! I love this gun and it has never failed on me. The grip is awesome, just right. I would get a new barrel, its kinda loud. There are some EASY mods you can do to lighten the pull SOO much. I highly reccomend doing those mods. Also, I would get a SweetSpot trigger. Ive used one and its awesome!
Conclusion:
Very good gun! I deffinetly reccomend this gun! Its has a rather cheap price, but dont let that fool you. Definetly get this gun!
