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. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

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! ------------- Rawr... |

| 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! ------------- Rawr... |

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 ------------- Setup: Tippmann98c Silver Vein powdercoat Palmer's male stab Ported elbow Double trigger with stop Lapco bigshot Trigger slop mod ricochet ak |

if your gonna spend $280 on a Spyder, you may aswell just save up for an Ion.

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. |

| Yea, i had a spyder and it chopped ALOT also...anything that shoots over like 17 w/o eyes is just...in my opinian gunna chop balls like a....nvm....cant cuss...but anyways id go for and Ion or maybe even a ICD (Indian Creek Designs) gun.....Or like Mark said a Autococker.....I ripped one at my local shop.....Look on ebay if you wanna take the chance....but hey, its your choice... |

| *>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. |
