PostHeaderIcon Spyder MR2 Paintball

The Spyder MR2 is a low-end electronic marker. It is the first ever military-style electronic marker designed by Kingman Group. Much like its earlier, mechanical counterpart, the Spyder MR1, it has an offset feed neck for rifle-like sighting, a 12 inch muzzle brake barrel, an anti-double feed detent to prevent misloading and a matte black finish. Unlike the MR1, however, the MR2 has a raised sight rail for easing mounting of a scope or sight, an ACS 2.0 second generation anti-chop bolt and a snap grip bolt that eliminates the outside movement of the bolt during firing.

Being an electronic paintball marker, the MR2 uses a 9.6 V rechargeable battery that is included with purchase. It features fully automatic, semi-automatic, and burst fire modes that can easily be changed at any time using a rate of fire activator in the back of the pistol grip. It can fire at 25 balls per second in fully electronic, automatic firing mode. It also has a two finger trigger (or double trigger) for fast firing in semi-automatic.

Strengths

Although this may not be considered to be one of the MR2's strengths, most paintball players agree that it is a very good-looking, sleek, and even intimidating marker. Though the marker is advertised at 25 bps, it only fires thirteen bps in full auto and burst firing modes. the 25 bps advertised is actually the cap (maximum rate-of-fire the circuit board will allow) that is in place on semi auto.the thirteen bps fire rate in auto is still fast compared to most other markers within its price range, but requires an expensive electronic hopper to feed the paintballs into the gun fast enough to fire. Reliability and durability are the most outstanding qualities of the Spyder MR2.

Weaknesses

The Spyder MR2 has been clearly identified to have the following problems. It:

* Has a rather weak stock, and you can't aim down the barrel with a mask on without the use of a scope
* Has a very brittle, weak elbow feed
* Has a weak ball detent although this problem is being looked over by Kingman Group.
* Has a barrel shroud that does not accept most barrels
* Has a tendency to be picky with paint, prefers higher end paint.

The weak elbow/weak ball detent problem can easily be fixed by simply replacing the factory-made elbow/ball detent with a new one. As for the barrel shroud, it is detachable from the front by unscrewing the hex screw on the underside of the shroud. Many tactical barrels have been made with an extension that fits into the shroud to accommodate it covering the face of the marker.
