I've narrowed my choices down to 3 guns. The Kingman Spyder Victor 2, The Kingman Sonix, and the PMI Piranha 07 GTI. Which one should I get? Just so you know, I'm good at taking stuff apart and putting it back together, but if one of those guns is too complicated for a "newb", then tell me because I don't want to drop $100 to use a gun once and then find out I broke it while cleaning. Thanks alot, guys.

Theyre EXACTLY the same thing. Do yourself a favor and get the cheapest e-spyder you can get.

you could buy used. (insert shameless marketing plug here) *looks down at sig*

but now for advice: but the cheapest one you can because they are the same without eyes

[evolkers2003]

for the spyder Xtra. But any electro spyder would be your best bet.

[kenny_1491]

spyder xtra outta those three.

Get whichever one does not require that damn plastic feedneck. I'm too lazy to go look right now and make sure, but I think most of the lower end spyders require it, so I'd personally take the Piranha. The standard (versus metric that spyders use) parts and slightly higher quality is nice too.

[evolkers2003]

Yeah, i hate that stupid adapter for the hopper. It makes it so tall. The xtra is a little nicer than all of those. I dont know why but it just shoots smoother, and faster and a little bit more accurately than all other mech spyders.

[txaggie08]

the adapter is a 20$ fix though. clamping feednecks for those are cheap...

Hm, my freind has a non electric piranha that has ran forever, but another guy i know got a electric one and he has had some major problems.

[Shockz]

I'd go with the piranah, I've never really been a spyder fan.

[paintballa92]

If the Piranha has auto, does that mean it's less reliable or harder to maintain?

Lemme recomend you read two things.

How it works: E-guns

spyderand clone upgrade Q&A

The priahana is a spyder clone. The only difference in an electronic STBB and a mech one is the frame, no there is no difference in maintenance, except charging the battery...

Not really. The only real problem you will run into is bad electronics that can be frusterating but if you read the manual and take care of it it shouldnt be a problem.
