The Kingman Spyder Fenix is a gun that is tops in its own category. The Spyder Fenix is great to look it, does the job that it is supposed to, and provides for numerous upgrades. If you are looking for a full auto marker in the mid price range ($220 – $250), the Spyder Fenix is the perfect match. The original Spyder Fenix is no longer being produced, however, Kingman has newer versions on the market.

The Spyder Fenix features four different modes of fire; semi, 3 shot, 6 shot, and full auto mode. It has a built in LCD frame with a “one touch” adjustment feature. It comes with a double finger trigger with adjustable pull and response. It comes equipped with a vertical feed, vertical expansion chamber, low pressure chamber, bottom line regulator, and is a drop forward marker. It comes with a 2 piece, 14” barrel and a 9.6 volt battery with charger. It also comes equipped with a tournament velocity adjuster.

The Spyder Fenix has a great firing rate, fantastic balance and recoil that one can barely feel, and is known to almost never chop. On semi auto mode, the rate of fire is adjustable from 6 to 14 balls per second, and the distance of the trigger pull is also adjustable.

The Spyder Fenix is also very easy to clean. The grip on the store bought marker is rather flimsy so it will need to be replaced. You might want to get an electro hopper and a better barrel to get the most out of your Spyder Fenix, and you will also need to use an HPA or nitro system.

The Kingman Spyder E-99 is a fast, durable gun that can be upgraded and modified as needed to increase its performance. The Spyder E-99 performs well out in the field and can hold its own in tournament paintball games, but not at the expense of your pocketbook with a cost of about $140-160.

The Spyder E-99 has an electronic trigger frame with multiple modes; semi automatic, three round, six round and full auto. A double triggered paintball marker, it is equipped with a low pressure chamber and an expansion chamber in the fore grip. The Spyder E-99 has a vertical feed and an anti-double feed mechanism. It operates on a 9.6 volt battery, comes with a charger, and is available in either black or blue.

The Spyder E-99 is a fast gun, however its speed can be an issue unless you modify the gun after purchase. You run the risk of ending up with a lot of chopped balls due to this marker’s speed, so to prevent this from happening, you will need to upgrade your hopper in order to keep up.

This Spyder also tends to chop balls due to spikes of air pressure, so you may also need to use compressed air or a regulator. Cheap paintballs are inclined to break when used with the Spyder E-99 as it tends to be rather selective when it comes to the paintballs you use.

This marker is fairly accurate, however, you can always do better by upgrading to another barrel and by using another bolt, which will also quiet the gun down a bit.

Taking care of your marker is an essential aspect of owning any paintball gun, and this should hold true for your Spyder E-99. The Spyder E-99 has to be well maintained, clean and should always be well oiled since the internal parts of this marker are very likely to be scratched. The Spyder E-99 is relatively easy to field strip so cleaning it should be quick and easy.

When used right out of the box, the Spyder E-99 will give you only mediocre  performance. In order to get optimal performance from this gun, you will need to invest in some upgrades. You will need to replace the hopper with a 12 volt electro hopper to prevent chopping, and replace the barrel and the bolt to improve its accuracy. To improve the gun’s consistency, try using compressed air instead of CO2 and purchasing a regulator for this marker.
