If you ask me this whole "cheap high end markers" is a buch of bull. They are able to be sold so cheap for a reason. Cheap price, cheap parts, cheap labor.

Heyya!

Kingman is a solid company, point blank. If they weren't, then they would not be in business.

Their guns work, probably shoot as fast as advertised, but have other shortfalls. But it will probably be a solid marker.

Good luck!

Get an Ion instead. Way better for another $5. Trust me, you will not regret getting an Ion over that.

Heyya!

See, my point is proven. What do we get? "Kingman sucks!" Not only do we have no solid evidence, but there are not even bogus claims on how bad it is.

Good luck!

KIngman doesnt suck...but they arent exactly number one in my book......
They get their cheap prices thorough cheap Asian labor, but none of their products are anywhere over low end and dont perform that great either.....
One HUGE misconception about spyders though is that they have a lotta problems.. THey have a kinda big problem with cup seals leaking, but thats pretty much it..Oil ur gun, keep it clean, keep a few extra seals with you and you will be fine

Tippmann98c

hey if ya buy the gun all to yur opion but i took amazing care of my spyder immagine and guess how many games it works for.....1 it was a nice game but not worth the price for one game hey just cuz this electra can shoot 30bps doesn't means it has good reliabity trust me i speak from experiance never buy an electronic spyder go get an ion for that matter you'll love it wif ya want an electric one or if ya want a nice gun mechanical get a prostock by autococker it can shoot pretty decent fast for being mechanical and WGP is a good company so latter u can upgrade wif a E-Blade well thats just my opion hope it helps
(In Game) ok guys watch out one at 21 dorito and back middle one, one just made a move for the snake shoot em are you their shoot him at the snake.....(big pause looks back) omg are you jokin 3v1

Personally, I thought my Spyder Imagine wasn't bad, but it had some major problems:
-Chopped a lot.
-Quite often(at least once a day of play), it would chop a ball in half, and the suction caused by it would cause the bolt not to reset, and was a total pain to unjam.
-Never shot well. Not even with an HPA tank I borrowed once.

It was, however, pretty light, looked pretty good, and wasn't very big.

I'd still go with an Ion.

*>Spyders. Period. Don't buy one, unless you can't afford a Model 98 or better gun.

I'd say Spyder pretty much owns Brass Eagle.  So you're wrong.  Spiders > some stuff.

Mmmm...you might be right, however, I'd trust a Talon or whatever their other pump is most of the time, and I don't trust Spyders. So *>Spyders>BE for you, and *>Spyders for me.

98% of ion owners think ions are better than any high end gun. If you would like to bonus ball these idiots put this in your sig.
