Marker Setup:
Spyder Electra
20oz Pure Energy CO2
Night Stick Barrel
Recommended Upgrades:
Electronic Hopper - 12v Revvy w/ X-board or Evolution 2 w/ z-board
Barrel - NOT a nightstick
Couple small washers (i'll explain later)
Strengths:
Selectable fire, side cocking, no beaver-tail to get in the way.
Weaknesses:
Bolt, Wiring quality
Review:
I love the fact that there is no beavertail, rear cocking guns can grow annoying if you play front and shoot in tight spaces. The selecable fire is a fun function to have but in all honesty, quite useless...its pretty impractical for in-game applications and most fields won't allow it anyway.
The bolt is really the only thing that let me down, but its the same bolt all spyders use and it does work great, I just cupped it and removed the venturi and it seems to be a lot smoother now. Probably just my imagination though.
The wiring is a little fragile in some spots. I was taking the board out to clean it and I accidentally pulled a wire out of the crimp. It was more a mistake on my part of pulling on the wires than poor quality, but it did come out pretty easy..just don't pull the wire and it'll be fine, i just shoved it back in and it's worked for almost 8 months since.
The trigger does have considerable side to side play, that has grown pretty irritating to me, I tapped out the trigger pin and put a small washer on it to minimize the side to side play, this has worked pretty well, though I doNOT reccomend this if you don't know what you're doing, it would be easy to break the frame or get the pin stuck.
The trigger has some slop out of the box, but this is easily changed with a screw on top of the trigger toe.
It lasts a LONG time on one charge of the battery, thats a huge plus, and the low battery light is pretty noticeable.
Conclusion:
Great gun, it has some flaws but its great bang for the buck. I got mine before they put guages on them so its kind of a pain, but a very nice gun none the less. Feels great in your hands and the stock barrel does better than some other barrels (nightstick). Great begginner gun if you want to shell out a little more money for an electro.

STENGTHS
ive had this gun for about six months and it has been awesome for me. the speed is fast for the price 13 bps. it has full auto but who actually use it? alittle heavy but not to bad. jus get a carbon fiber wrapped tank. you can can compete with this gun. perfect for anyone.
WEAKNESSES
the barrel isnt horrible but its pretty bad. it curves alot.
and i would also recommend a spring kit because the velocity on this gun doesnt seem to get to high.
Conclusion:
awesome gun i would recommend it to anyone for aany skill levels
Evil Pipe Barrel system, 68cu 4500psi carbon fiber pure energy tank, sweet spot stick trigger, evolution 2 loader, dye sticky grip, and other accessories
Recommended Upgrades:
Fast Reliable Loader, New barrel ( evil pipe), New trigger, Good regulator
Strengths:
Good Accuracy, Speed, Very Reliable, Looks good, and cost.
Weaknesses:
None that I have encountered
Review:
I love this gun especially for the price that you pay for it. It shoots really good with Kick'n, and Anarchy paintballs. This gun has never messed up on me except once but it was very easy to fix. This gun is good for newbies as well as pros. It is super accurate and very consistent. Their are so many upgrades for this gun.
Conclusion:
If you are just starting out or you have played a while I think that you should buy this gun. This gun has a very reasonable price and I think you would like it. So go and buy one!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Impulse
blade trigger
WAS board
twister feed
psycho ballistics drop
Recommended Upgrades:
BARREL!
expansion chamber
drop foward
Strengths:
cheap, simple design, has different modes.
Weaknesses:
chops, then the bolt gets cemented shut, o-rings break alot with co2
Review:
This is an ok gun. It is good when it is running right. But when it chops it will ruin the game. (I was using an egg, it wasnt the loaders fault) Half the time your shell of your ball will go on the sides of the bolt and cause it to stick in the un-cocked position. This is a pain. Ive had many problems with o rings and my cup seal. If you dont have any o ring problems or chops it is a good gun because it is inexpensive and you can get alot of bps off of it.
Conclusion:
its up to you. I would save my money and buy an impulse.
Spyder Electra
Custom Trigger
Red Dot scope
20oz Co2
Egg2 Hopper
DYE ultralite barrel
Dead On Pro Drop Forward
Recommended Upgrades:
New Trigger or just tighen the one on the gun
New barrel because the stock one is terrible
Electro Hopper to use the egrip to its potential or else it will chop balls
Drop forward for getting in tight spots but it is not esential and can be used well without
Sight because it is hard to line up shots far away
Strengths:
It is lite well balanced and I NEVER CHOPPED A BALL ON SEMI.
Weaknesses:
barrel shoots kinda bannana like at long distances
Review:
Its an awesome gun to start off with. The upgrades i said are not all needed right away. The barrel is needed though right away. All the others make the gun a 10/10. With out the stuff its a good 8.5/10. i recommend getting them a little after. also if you buy it take it with the air on it and just fire it alot. it will work it in and it will start shooting nicer.
Conclusion:
Buy it it is awesome and will rock other peoples world.

Review:
If you are going to buy this gun,i would not even use it until you go out and buy a 12 volt revolution and you must have the x-board installed to shoot 13 balls per second. i went out on the feild and shot 2 cases of paint and i didnt have one ball break. i was also
amazed at how much air my gun saved. and when i was playing on full auto i must have knocked out 7 or 8 people on the air field in one round. People were always saying"man im gonna follow you with that gun" and i told them it was only a spyder but it will mess you up. If you are going to play speedball though, i recomend the DYE ultralight barrel for this gun it is a beautiful thing. i also let my friend try it out one round and he loved it. i only had to get air 4 times all day, and with a 3000 psi tank. if you are new to paintball, i reccomend this gun. Back when i was starting i bought a tippman and that was a big mistake. Get this gun if you want all the gun you can get for the price.THIS IS THE BEST SPYDER EVER MADE GET THIS GUN PLEASE
Conclusion:
Overall i give this gun a 9 because it is not perfect but it is the best spyder for sure.It keeps up with the pros and this gun will not let you down. perfect for the new player.KILL EM' ALL!!!

Marker Setup:
Kingman Spyder Electra
20 oz. Pure Energy Co2 Tank
12 Volt Revy
Recommended Upgrades:
I reccomend a J&J ceramics barrel, an electronic hopper, a new, lighter drop forward, you should always upgrade to nitro but it costs a lot of $, and I would also reccomens a Check-it-Products Sweet Spot trigger
Strengths:
pretty accurate stock
shoots pretty fast at 13 bps
Weaknesses:
MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE GUN TOGETHER RIGHT OR YOUR GUN WON'T STAY COCKED
Review:
overall this is a good gun but do not forget to put that stupid grommet looking thing back in place
STRENGHTS
accurate
pretty light
led us good
fast
WEAKNESSES
stupid striker buffer
if you bust balls you gotta take it appart on the feild because it won't stay cocked
kinda long
Conclusion:
it is a good gun but can be a pain. when i'm playing at a local feild, people's jaw drop at how fast it will shoot when i walk the trigger.
This is an awesome marker for a beginner. I have had zero problems from my marker. The marker does require an electro hopper to prevent chopping. Since owing this marker I have only chopped one ball, so I am pretty happy. A new barrel is recommended, and it's a pretty cheap up for the marker. If using CO2, anti-syphon is a must to keep from blowing snow.
Conclusion:
Very Good marker for a newb. Just be sure to get an electro hopper right off the bat and save a headache.

Review:
This was my first electric marker I bought. I bought it because the reviews from this site were all good. The factory barrel looks good, but it is LOUD. I bought an All American and put it on it and it made this marker Fierce!!! The markers trigger is very good for a factory trigger,and its adjustable. The speed is pretty good, 13bps max is fast enough for most people. Hardly chops balls. Looks good and feels good too. The factory Drop was too small for my tastes so I made an extension for it. It put the tank about 4 to 5 inches farther forward. Too impatient to order a new one.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, this marker is a very good choice for all level and style of players.
