Spyder Sonix Semi-Auto Paintball Marker

The Spyder Sonix paintball marker is an ok starter marker, I actually like the CMI barrel, though I would never use it as a 21", I like the 16" parts, it is a pretty good shooting barrel.

With a Gravity feed you can expect around 4bps, you may get a few streaks of up to 10bps but it will most likely chop.

An Electronic Trigger is up to you, if the paintball marker is good enough stock for you dont get it, If you want to shoot faster get one, though you will want a good Force Feed Loader like a eVLution III, Halo B, Reloader B, Vlocity, or Vlocity Jr.

They are legal at almost every field unless they state no electros, but im pretty sure those fields are far and few between, the modes are pretty easily changed so you can keep it in Semi Auto.

Recomended Upgrades: Anything you dont like about the paintball marker, I usually don't recomend putting much into a Spyder paintball gun as in due time if you keep playing you will upgrade to a better marker, 1 upgrade I would put on all Spyders is a Clamping Feedneck, they lower profile and keep your hopper on. If you go the E-Trigger Route you will want a FF Loader, I strongly recommend a Halo/ Reloader B or VLocity/ Jr., they last along time and will come in handy if you purchase a high end marker (same is said for the eVLution III, but most people end up not liking the odd shape and overall build of the loader and replace it). I also recomend HPA, it is much better than Co2, more expensive but again it can transfer over to a High End Marker, I Highly recommend a good Fiber Wrapped 4500psi tank, they are better than the steel 3000psi, which again you would probably replace in time because of the low air capacity and weight.
