Spyder Paintball
The Spyder paintball marker series is manufactured by the Kingman Group, a well respected name in the paintball circles and revered as being one the companies that created a marker easy to use and easy to maintain while at the same time keeping costs low enough to make Kingman Spyder paintball guns affordable for hobbyists, teams, and pros. Sometimes referred to as the “spider,” paintball gun purists are divided over the use of Spyder paintball markers.
Those who appreciate the simplicity of the operation and thus the likelihood of achieving error free function will favor the use of a Kingman Spyder paintball gun that is put together simply and without many frills and possibilities for operator error or equipment failure. While Spyder paintball gun upgrades most certainly make this a great system to operate, those purists who eschew the use of a Spyder paintball marker generally cite the noise that is associated with the Spyder paintball barrel. This makes this a piece of equipment ill suited for those who engage in sniper paintball and other stealth play, while those who enjoy agility play will not mind the noise.
Yet with the noise complaints also comes the allegation of inconsistent pellet velocity which is traced back to the lack of regulators. Spyder paintball gun reviews time and again mention the need for an aftermarket external regulator which, when installed properly, will adjust the Spyder paintball inconsistency. At this point in time there are a number of Spyder paintball gun packages and lines from which the player may choose:
- Those who play MilSim games will find that the MR Spyder paintball markers are the guns of choice. Numbered one through three, the addition of various optional Spyder paintball parts increases functionality and military-like action.
- If you are a newbie, weekend hobbyist, or simply enjoy the sport on a shoestring budge, you can buy a cheap Spyder paintball gun by choosing the Imagine Spyder paintball marker. While it is a cheap Spyder paintball gun, it is fully adaptable for a variety of kits and accessories, but even as a stock gun will offer satisfying enjoyment of the game.
- Players looking for mechanical semi-automatic cheap Spyder paintball gun kits most commonly look to the Victor Spyder paintball markers which are named the Victor, Victor II, and Victor 2006. While considered cheap, Spyder paintball gun prices have always been reasonable and thus this series of markers has developed a loyal following.
