Black EM1
Crossfire 114ci nitro tank
12V Revolution
PMI Remote
14" WGP Two Piece Barrel
10" Smart Parts Teardrop
Recommended Upgrades:
A new barrel
Strengths:
This gun is fairly quiet and accurate (at least with an aftermarket barrel). It's also very easy to clean. I have already shot nearly a full case of paint through it and have yet to chop a ball, even on three round burst and full auto. Cleaning the gun is also very easy.
Weaknesses:
Nothing so far.
Conclusion:
An excellent gun all around, especially for the money. (I got mine for $250).
For my first electic marker, this worked great. Gassed my tank , and it was ready to go right out of the box. Took me less than 2 minutes to chrono it too.
The battery was a sinch to remove. When you place it in the gun, put the clip towards the back of it. To remove, take the cover off, turn the gun upside down( so that the battery is facing downward), push it on the clip end towards the back so it angles out at the front, and tug. My require a few attempts to get it just right.
Weaknesses:
Broke quite a few balls down the barrel, but it was raining and humid that day, so I suspect that weather was the cause.
Conclusion:
I love this gun. Was really skeptical of the Electric marker and Nitrogen market, but after this gun, I may never go back to CO2. Now if I can just rig my VM for Nitro........ :-)

For the money you will hold your own against any gun out there that costs over a 1000.00 more. Angels, Cockers, Impulse, B2K2, forget about it. The EM1 set up the right way is a rocket!! All you need is a steady hand.
Get the stickies, and get a boomstick or similar barrel. The stock barrel is garbage. Get a revolution or equivalent, or you will outshoot your hopper.
Strengths:
The rate of fire on this thing is ridiculous! the gun is great, aside from a few problems when i first got it (just had to get used to it).
Weaknesses:
The stock barrel is gross, get a rifled barrel (boomer or similar would be best). I broke a lot of paint when i first got the gun, due to very high velocity, but that got taken care of in time. The instructions were complicated when it came to changing the rate of fire, it was easier to just monkey around with the dip switches. And it took an act of congress to change the freakin' 9v battery on this thing.
Conclusion:
This gun is awesome, i scared people the first time i started blasting. Pretty quiet (not cocker quiet, but quiet enough). With this marker and some practice, you can hold your own against anything out there. You can find one online for around 300 beans, which is cheap for what you get. Plus! flip it upside down and start ripping, you can make em duck for you.
em1, j&j barrel, lapco universal drop-forward. air america nitro system, viewloader 12v with x-board. jt flex mask, vl tubes.
Recommended Upgrades:
Freak Barrels, or any barrels, the OTP barrels that came with mine sucks!
Strengths:
Fast rate of fire. Auto firing is not allowed at my local field, i just put it on 3-6 burst no one can tell. Just pretend you were firing lots lots of bullets. that you have fast fingers.
Weaknesses:
OTP BARREL SUCKS!!! Get a new barrel. If you dont get a good hopper, you will not have a good load of balls into the gun. Battery port is hard to open. if you can tell me how to do it much more simplier email me!!
Conclusion:
Good Gun. Fast Rate of fire. Cheap price. $250 with OTP barrel, but get rid of the OTP Barrel cause it sucks ass. Just use your existing Spyder Barrels or buy a new barrel that is not OTP.

10 out of 10

Great rate of fire. performs just as good, if not better than bushys and other electros, accuracy surpases other spyders with the same barrel. runs on very low pressure, low ball breakage. really easy to clean
Weaknesses:
the stock trio barrell that comes with some guns is horrible, it breaks every other shot, its best to go to any other barrell, i use the stock barrell from a spyder compact and i still have great accuracy, range and low breaking
Conclusion:
very nice gun. search around for the lowest price. i got mine for only $250
First off, it is extremly fast. It out shoot anyone that i play with. It is a very good gun for its cost. It shoots very accurate and quite.
Weaknesses:
It can't shoot in just semi, its always in turbo.
Breaks a lot of balls without a new bolt or barrel.
It broke after the first time i used it, so i had to send it back to the company two days after i got it, and then it took 2 weeks to get it back from them.
Conclusion:
Its a very good marker for its cost, you can buy it now for about $250. The gun works better than a bushmaster or tribal after you buy a couple of upgrades for the gun. If you want a good gun, for a little bit of money, this is one gun you should consider.
