You can spend a lot of money on a paintball gun for speedball competition; or you can get the same quality and performance with a Spyder classic series marker for under $200!  Easy to maintain and operate, yet fast and light enough for top level competition, Spyder competition paintball guns are great for beginner or expert players.

Spyder Classic Series .68 caliber competition markers are divided into two groups; electronic and semi- automatic.  The Electra and Pilot markers come with built in electronic triggers and offer three firing modes, semi-auto, burst, and fully automatic.  These guns also come with LEAP circuit boards (developed by Tadao) giving them unsurpassed speed and reliability.  Both the Spyder Pilot and Electra have an all- aluminum constructed body, and can operate with either CO2 or HPA.

The Spyder Electra is the most hi-tech in the classic series line.  It’s profile is somewhat reduced compared to other models, making it 25% lighter and 15% shorter, yet it sports a 12” two piece micro ported barrel.  The Electra is also outfitted to operate at 300psi low pressure.  The Spyder Electra is a great buy costing less than $200, this marker will out perform all others in its class.

Spyder semi-automatic markers are the best guns on the market for a beginner.  These markers are fast, light, and best of all cheap!  If you’re just starting paintball, it’s upsetting to spend a lot of money on a marker that breaks down with it’s first use.  That’s why the Spyder Xtra, Sonix, and Victor are the preferred choice for starting out.  All come with sturdy anodized finish and have also been reduced in size (from previous models) making them lighter and easier to wield.

If you'd like to be able to shoot twice the amount of paintballs with the same size air tank, be able to carry more ammo and have an even lighter gun, check out Spyder's .50 paintball markers.  Remember, these guns take a smaller paintball and are not compatible with .68 caliber balls; however it won't be long before most paintball parks are using .50 because of how cheap they are to shoot.  Don't forget, it also hurts less to get hit with a .50 caliber paintball!
