Electric, so you can shoot pretty fast, suprisingly accurate outta the box.
Weaknesses:
Doesn't chop alot, but enough you should get an ACS.
Review:
Well, I was very suprised when my buddy handed me this thing, I didn't think she'd look nearly as good as she does, and the matte finish oppose to the shiny is really nice to see for a change. Anyways, this gun handle's really well, shoots moderately fast, and suprisingly accurate. If you're a beginner, and you're not wanting to invest big bucks in a high end gun, I definately recommend this one, plus, it's got modes(single, 3rd, auto) but it's got a tournament lock, so it's 'legal'. The only things I would recommend getting are an Anti-chop bolt,( It didn't chop very often, but you should have an ACS with any fast firing gun just incase) maybe a new trigger, I'm not very fond of it, and new grips. The ones on it tend to stick up a bit once you've put a battery in it. Also, it was initially worked in with CO2, so it became accustomed to CO2. When using N2, she didn't agree with it at first, and took alittle time to adjust, but never functioned as well as she does on CO2.
Conclusion:
Great low end electric gun. If you're just starting out, and don't have lots of money, this one is definately worth the few bucks you can afford.

for this marker, I recommend upgrading everything... But I always believe that if upgrades begin to cost more than the gun, just buy a better gun. A new barrel would be nice, it most definately needs a new bolt, I would recommend nitrogen for this marker. And as for the rest, you'll find out what to fix as you go along.
Strengths:
Somewhat accurate.
Looks nice.
Weaknesses:
Chops.
Bolt gets stuck.
Trigger could be more sensitive.
Review:
I personally don't have this marker, but two of my friends and my girlfriend (yes she plays) have it, and I have never seen anything good come out of any of them. One of my friends had so many problems with it, he just took the electric trigger frame and put it onto his old JT Triad. My girlfriend also got fed up with it and just sent it back to the manufacturer. Everytime we played, all the avants would have problems with chopping paint and jamming up. Everytime we tried playing a game we had to take them to the shop to get fixed. I figure it must be something with the way it's made, it can't just be coincidence that all 3 of them had problems. I've been told that it coud be that they need to use electric hoppers, but I have a friend with a Spyer Pilot and he never has problems with his marker, and he doesnt use an electric hopper.
Conclusion:
I wouldn't recommend this gun. It's seriously more trouble than it's worth.
Spyder Victor 2, Spyder TL-X, Spyder Rodeo, and VL Orion
Marker Setup:
Spyder E-99 Avant, 14in PMI Razzor Barrel, Egg 2, and 20oz co2
Recommended Upgrades:
An electronic hopper and nitrogen
Strengths:
Fast, Semi-3 round burst-Full, accuracy, and nice trigger
Weaknesses:
Chops and breaks when shooting fast
Review:
Well, I got this and looked pretty decent. I shot it a few times and really fast. I used it against my friends and I was the best. They were all scared of me. I really like this gun. It has a lot of pros and not a whole lot of cons but, still a good gun. It may say its 250$ but I bought mine for 135$
Conclusion:
Fast and very powerful. A good gun to get.

I bought this gun and two days later it broke on me, it just wouldn't fire. I brought it in for repairs and it was fine for like 3 days, on the third day after a game when I was at home it was just sitting on my couch then it got a bad gas leak. I once again brought it for repairs and it was good for another 5 days then again it stopped firing. So i sold it completely.
Conclusion:
I suggest not to get this gun, unless of course you like wasting money.
Spyder E-99 Avant
Evolution ll
14" Teardrop
20 oz co2
Recommended Upgrades:
New barrel definitely
Strengths:
Cheap, Accurate, Lightweight, Fast
Weaknesses:
Stock barrel not very accurate and that's about it so far
Review:
Make sure you have a good electro hopper. In full auto it chops a lot, but most people don't use full auto. It is also easy to clean. My friend has an imagine and when he tried this gun he wanted to sell his and buy this one. It is very affordable and a very good gun. Need I say more?
Conclusion:
Great gun for a low end electronic. Beginners should get this. Get this gun now.

Strengths:
It looks sexy, very easy to switch from mode to mode, somewhat light. Highly Custimaizable.
Weaknesses:
Barrel, nothing else than that.
Review:
This gun is sweet looking. Its fast, reliable, and highly custamizable. If you want this gun to preform to its best, i would highly reccomend getting a electronic hopper. I picked up an eVlution II, and that did just the trick. This gun is perfect for the Novice/Amature/Rookie. If you want to get more serious into it, then buy a T-board w/ eyes.

Marker Setup:
ive only tried the e-99 avant with all stock
Recommended Upgrades:
i think they should of put a gage on the drop forward and thats all
Strengths:
It can shoot slow and fast on different modes it has 3 burst semi full
Weaknesses:
It has a cheap drop forward and does not feed good
Review:
If i had the e99 i would get a better drop forward i would put a gage on it to i think that this gun has no problems and that it is very good and that it is no beginer gun and that it is good for all around paintball.
Conclusion:
I think this gun desserves a 10/10 because it is very durable acurate and nice lookin

Review:
I've used a lot of guns from a lot of different makers.Some are horrible and overpriced, some are decent and affordable.Some under priced but junk. And then some are under priced and simply amazing. And that's exactly what the kingman spyder E-99 AVANT falls into. best gun i've used in comparison to many other electronic markers. It wouldn't surprise me if Kingman is the best price of such a beauty and most under $250. Best gun i ever owned............
Conclusion:
Very cheap,Great gun to use,Very Very Relieable

Spyder E-99 Avant
14" Teardrop Barrel
Evo 2 Hopper
Check It Low Rise Feed
Dye Sticky Grips
Recommended Upgrades:
Barrel
Hopper
Drop Forward
Strengths:
Fast
Accurate
Light
Good on air
Weaknesses:
Sometimes chops a lot
Review:
This gun is definitley a step up from my imagine in many ways. It is accurate as hell, good on gas, light, fires hard, feeds fast, and just plain looks cooler. A barrel is a definite upgrade that is needed, the stock one sucks. I had an evo 2 for my imagine and it works even better on the E-99.
