| Review: |
well i bought this spyder because my e99 avant was used and beat down and had alot of problems, so i wanted a marker i could transfer all my aftermarket e99 parts to. this one was the cheapest spyder i could find so i bought it. as a stock gun it pretty well sucked. it was slow and mechanical and it choped the paint alot. all the e99 parts transferred nicely except the ACS bolt becaus the victor is flush cocking, so i got a new ACS bolt for it. after replacing the barrel with an 18" sniper barrel i can shoot from about 40 yards and hit every shot within three inches. |
|
| Conclusion: |
the ACS bolt is a MUST but it still chops balls if you get real trigger happy. i dont use it in speedball i have a proto rail for that but this one is the only gun i'll use in woods ball or scenerio play. if you have the money to dump into it it has potential to be a decent backup or scenerio gun. i'll give it a 7 after all the upgrades i did but stock its about a 5 out of 10 |
