    Posted: 24 April 2005 at 2:46pm

i have been looking for a gun for some time and i never figured to look at the spyder brand. however i was in the shop and saw a pilot. it has burst and full auto and i could walk the trigger and all that good stuff. i was wondering if it was a good gun overall though.

I play front

I run a blue SP ION
06 freak back
Blue 06 all-american front
Blue smartparts adjustable feedneck
T-Board
crossfire 47/3000psi tank

The Pilot is good. Don't listen to the people telling you that Spyders suck. They don't. I actually like my Imagine.

Here is the link to the Kingman Forum: www.kingman.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php

I would suggest that you check out the forum for the Pilot on there to see what problems it has etc. I like the Fenix, but that's just me... And Spyders would be as durable as a Tippmann, but they're made out of aircraft-grade aluminum, not steel like the Tippmann.

well this is a tippmann forum so it would probaly be best to ask that in maybe a spyder forum (if there are any)
I'm not going to call the hospital, because you won't learn anything if I do.

Unless you plan on upgrading the custom pro I'd just get the 98C.

my friend owns a pilot acs and it works fantastic, with an electronic hopper it works great, the stock barrels pretty acurate and it is capable of 20 BPS.

i really dont know why people think it sux, he hasn't had any problems with it at all ( besides going full auto with a standerd hopper and choping balls)

with an electronic hopper its great.

pluss tippmanns to other guns are like hummers to other cars their strong, durable, reliable and use a lot of gas

u cant say other guns suck just because their not as reliable as tippmanns.

Yeah, I haven't had my Spyder break down on me, but my Tippmann has lol... As for the rest, did you know that Tippmann Effect uses the Pilot?

If you wanted a response, then go with the 98 Custom with the Response Trigger. Just be sure to get an electronic hopper like a Revolution or Evolution or something like that, because I have had my Imagine outshot by a 98C with a Response Trigger...kind of embarassing...

Get a Custom Pro. With a nice small price tag, durability/reliability of a tippmann, and electronic marker, what can go wrong?

"NICE SMALL PRICE TAG?!" It's more than my Tippmann and my Spyder put together! As I keep saying, the Tippmann is reliable and durable, but so is the Spyder. If you don't believe me, then go get a cheap @ss Victor and try it!

Just went to the store last night and picked me up an A5 screw the pilot my A5 rocks. Although i hate the single trigger and the long trigger pull. I did look at the dead on blade trigger and was wondering if it has a lighter trigger pull like walkable plus will it work with the stock A5 no e-grip. finally i was wondering if the response is worth the 60 bucks, but if that blade trigger is walkable then i won't need it.

I like my Imagine, but the Fenix and the Pilot are better. How can it break that much? They are soooo easy to fix its not even funny. And the parts for them are cheap as dirt too!
