Review:
I got this gun and was i impressed. When got an email from my teamate i saw that it was a new color, better reg wich i use sometimes but i like cp's, and a new feeder. I ordered it put my stuff on it and omg it was better than my old guns and my new punisher in my opinion.This has the rocking trigger frame which is so great to have because it has 2 points on it. It's more air efficient than the 05 model. Im just goin to say that this gun is great, it should be more money. This gun is high end as good as egos, timmys, angels, shockers, i think you get the point
Conclusion:
If you've been ballin' and you want a good reliable gun get it its cheap, fast, and accurate.

Smart parts ion (its about the same in my opinion)
05 Electra (not as nice)
Tippy (no comparison)
Marker Setup:
Spyder Electra Wit Eyes
Egg wit Y board
Smart Parts Freak Barrel
Recommended Upgrades:
ummm maybe a new clamping feed neck
Im not a big fan of the drop forward its ok for the time being but im looking into a new one
low pressure (if your into that stuff)
Strengths:
The eyes work very nice
Reg is halfway decent
Nice grips
Fast :)
Weaknesses:
I wasent too impressed with the clamping feed neck
Its not a high end marker
Review:
well i used to have an Evil Omen 2.0 but that wasent working out very well with me. So i went into the shop i bought it from and asked if i could trade it in and he told me that i could get an ion or an electra with eyes. well i personally am a little biased i dont like ions (too common). so i decided with the electra. So he put in a pre order for it and i waited (forever) finally i got it. so heres the low down
Goods: -Very nice looks the 05 fade is a little cooler but im not complaining
-Nice grips nicer than the older spyder grips kinda remined me of dye stickies
-suprisingly the reg is quite good it makes the accuracy and velocity very
consistant
- NO CHOPS! i shot a whole case of paint and never chopped any (Dusks)
-FAST FAST EXTREAMLY FAST
Bads: -a bit overpriced (all spyders are).
-The noise wasent too loud but im used to shooting a tippy soo some people
might think its loud.
-Kick perhaps? for those who have noodle arms
And the Uglys: -after playing with this marker for a while ive noticed the feed neck doesnt like my egg it wont clamp it secure it slides around a little bit i solved that with putting a little tape around the neck of my eggy and that seems to hold it a bit better. other than that nothing
Conclusion:
a very Sweet marker I think. ive only had this marker for a little while so if anything goes wrong ill post it.(so far nothings happend im still pleased) Im gonna give it a 9.6 because its not perfect but kingman is definitely heading in the right direction.

Review:
My friend has some strange connections, and we were able to test this marker out before it came out. I have used the other Electra, the acs, and was pretty impresse with it. the new electra fixes most of the things that sucked on the old eletra.
Pros
Speed - this is a fast gun, it is a blowback, but it is very fast. you can't reach the 30 bps, but it is plenty fast for most people. Even if you cant reach 30 bps, it is nice to know, that you won't ever shoiot faster than your board.
The Eye- ok the eye is a billion times better than the acs bolt. out of 3,000 rounds it only chopped once. the eye logic is not as good as smartparts, or timmys, but it is better than the piranah evo, and is quite good.
Looks - the one we tried was greenish, but I have alwasy liked the electra milling, and this is no diferent. it has nice flowing lines, and the green ano looked very nice. also, the eye cover goes with the simple lines. overall, it is simple, but very nice and good looking.
Rocking Trigger - you either love it, or hate it. personally, I like normal triggers, but if you ae one of the people that like s rocking triggers, then you will love this gun. I don't like the rocking trigger, but it was easy to walk, so i think it is a strength.
Reliability - it is a spyder. all spyders are good, durable, and will last a long time. this is no exception. you get the simpleness of a spyder, with many of the features enjoied by timmies and other high end guns.
Regulator - THe reg isn't the best, but is is ok. it will work with co2 or n2, so I have no complaints. a cp reg is much nicer, but is better than a gas-thru likeon most other spyders. you will get better air effency with it, so it is a nice little fearure to have with it.
Weight - it is not the lightest, but it is cirtenly not heavy. it weighs about the same as the other electra, which is on the middle-light side.
Cons
blowback - it is a blowback, so it will have kick, and not be as accurate. it is a really nice blowback, so this isn' really a weakness, but i the electra was an Ep gun, then it would be better.
Eye logic - it is good, but it is not the best, and will not stop all chops. Like i said erlier, it only chopped 1 out of 3,000, and we were using a cheap diablo hopper. it couild be better, but it serves its purpose.
angled drop - I hate this. I would much rather have a normal drop, or none at all. it puts the tank down, but at an odd angel, which really anoys me.
<EDIT> I forgot to mention that this spyde,r and only this one, comes with standard bottomline configuration screws. there isn't that odd diangle pattern like on the other spyders. it is the in line 2 holes. this means you can use your favorite drop foward, rail, direnct mount, or asa without that strange adaptor thing
Conclusion:
Hey it is a great gun. it is not my favorite, but it does its job, looks damn good, and will always work. it has all the goodies that the electra acs didn;t have, and it comes out of the box ready to use and own with it. it is not perrfect, so it doesn't get a 10, but i think it should get a mid - high 9.
