2008 Kingman Spyder Electra
2008 Spyder Electra
On May 15, 2008 Kingman will be introducing their new 2008 Spyder Electra paintball gun into the market. MSRP'd at $249.99 and retailing for only $199.99, the 2008 Electra is already grabbing the attention from Ion and SLG users. The Spyder Electra is part of Kingman's Classic Series gun line. The Spyder Electra use to be such a primitive electronic paintball gun way back in 2004. Things have changed since then and now Kingman is in a constant running race, along with Smart Parts and Dye, to create an affordable and reliable electronic paintball gun. Right now the battle is between the Smart Parts Ion, Proto SLG, and the 2008 Spyder Electra. Of course there are others, but these are the main players in the market today.
If you had $250 to spend on just a gun (stock, no upgrades), which one would you most likely buy?
Here's Kingman's sales pitch:
The all new generation Spyder Electra with Eye is back with a vengeance. The new design concept features a reduced overall profile (25% weight & 15% length). The Electra with Eye comes standard equipped with the LEAP™ circuit board developed by Tadao® Technologies providing unsurpassed speed and reliability. Outfitted with Spyder's "Synergy Engineered Technology" the Electra with Eye operates on dual air sources (CO2 & Compressed Air) at 300PSI low operational pressure. This all aluminum constructed powerhouse will out perform every other marker in its class.

Alright score one for spyder! I really need to save my money.
The 2008 Spyder Electra looks sweet. The price isn’t to bad neither. Oh Sweet. The 3-Way Adjustable Magnetic Response “Saber” Trigger would be so cool to use my paintball gun right now has a crappy trigger.
Whats a magnetictic response saber trigger?
Saber trigger- style of trigger
Magnetictic response- instead of a return spring there is a magnet to return the trigger and many people consider the magnet better than teh spring for this job.
Hi,
I would like to know which lubricants do you use to lubricate the Gun.I have heard @ DC 33,55 or Sleek?Do you use the same? Whts the price? & where I can Get it??
Given Spyders 2008 line, the Electra is definitely near the top of the list for an affordable, but high quality marker. The polished titanium finish is sweet and will definitely stand out on the field. Not to mention that it will run on CO2 or HPA.
I have had only one problem with the electric firing pin but they sent a new one in days and it works excellent
i have the smart parts ion. decent gun. i like it.
this gun rox i must have it to complete my colection!!!!
