If you have never used a full automatic paintball gun, you should definitely give it a try. It can change your whole paintball experience. The Spyder Pilot is a paintball gun that uses a 9-volt battery to automate firing, and you can shoot very quickly with it. The nice part is that, like an assault rifle, you can adjust the firing modes from full automatic to burst mode, where it will fire three to six balls with a single pull of the trigger.
The Spyder Pilot is an automatic paintball gun so you will experience some of the common problems with this type of gun when using it like the frequent breaking of paintballs. There is a technology in use that attempts to minimize this problem, but when you are shooting so many paintballs at such a high speed it is inevitable. You can minimize it by using high quality paintballs. When deciding what kind of paintballs you will use you should take into account that the Spyder Pilot will devour your paint supply so you will need a lot of paintballs, but at the same time you want high quality paintballs so they are not bursting all over your gun.
There are also many options available for customization of the Spyder Pilot, such as incredible paint jobs, various grips and the option to use carbon dioxide or compressed air. You need to be sure that you understand what a blow-back paintball gun is. A blow-back gun will have a kick which means that it will be almost impossible to shoot the same shot twice so it is often a good idea to aim for an area and re-aim for every shot or you will just be wasting a lot of paint. The Spyder Pilot will not jump out of your hands if you don’t have an iron grip and your shots won’t be spreading across 50 yards but you should be aware that it won’t feel like other paintball guns that you have fired before.
As far as automatic paintball guns go, the Spyder Pilot is a great entry level gun and you can learn how to clean it and make basic repairs fairly easily. It is a beginner’s gun, so you should not expect it to be better than the high-end guns. But it can definitely blow a pump action or even a semi-automatic gun out of the water.
