The Prodigy's "e-grip" is capped at 7 bps. Take it back to Wal-Mart, get your money back, and buy an Imagine. It's a much better marker, and only about 10 dollars more.

W3rd ^.

Viewloader only makes good hoppers. Don't buy their guns, for the same amount just get an Imagine.

It's not some crappy pos plastic marker, it's decent. But you should really get a new marker.

Ok, listen up man.

This gun is pretty nice for rec or a secondary. But personally, if it's being given to you take it. You can always use an extra gun right?
Then after that, save up for a better gun like a Dragun TES, Tippman 98 or something of that caliber.

If you want you can go onto xpaintball and check out the new Imagine that they're sellin.

EDIT-
I almost forgot that I need to give you a rating on the gun.

3.8/10

I'd like to touch upon something if I may. Alot of people give us sh_t for not having a bob long barrel or a tippy etc... But how much can you custom one of those things. If your getting a decent rate of fire out of the marker and your barrel is shooting half straight you'll be o.k. Must of the people on this site are under 20 and that's all they can afford. Myself I have a Gebisis surge 2 df. I catch hell for having it. But I'm a noobi and I didn't want to invest alot in a paint marker especially since I've been so busy. But when I play rec ball locally the gun performs just as well as a tippy or spyder. But people just assume that it's a viewloader it sucks.

I'd have to agree with aftermath, people seem to judge equiptment based on the manufacturer, not the actual marker. 5/10 for being mostly stock. Go for a TES.

You do know the difference between the Spyder Imagine and the VL Prodigy correct? The prodigy is capped at 7 BPS while the imagine is capped at 14. The imagine is also a lot easier to upgrade, unlike the Prodigy, which has little to none upgrades.
If I were you, I would take it back to Wal-Mart and get my 120 dollars back, because you got cheated.

read posts before saying ****. And you have an E-99. Antyhing spyder, or VL or w/e or all at almost the same caliber. So dont go tell this kid to get an imagine. That is a lateral step. Get a BKO, used ebladed cocker or w/e.
To UsersFatality--- sorry to clog up your thread man with crap but I had to set number one noob (biatch) straight. Welcome to the Wonderful world of paintball. Have fun!

Everyone just needs to rate his gun and not tell him to get spyders and argue about them and whatnot.

5/10 for viewloaders.
