Spyder E-MR1
So what does the Spyder E-MR1 have in store for you as a paintball enthusiast and player?
Let's take a look...
The Packaging - Let's have a look at the E-MR1's packaging. I must say that it is very slick! The box that came with it is very compact and nicely designed while displaying the paintball marker nicely. And if you're a nature and environment lover like me, you'd be pleased to know that the marker's package used recyclable plastic and cupboard instead of the harmful Styrofoam.
The Marker's Feel - The Spyder E-MR1 has a very nice feel to it. It is beefed up with a matte finish along with a great and slightly rough feel. It's a breathe from fresh air from all of the smooth aluminum-textured markers. This gives the Spyder E-MR1 a very nice military-simulation feel to it. Additionally, the marker comes off looking even better with the texture!
It feels great in my hands!
The Stock - This fits nicely into place. It is screwed on the top back section of the paintball marker. You may find this inconvenient if you feel you need to field strip the Spyder E-MR1. I was praying that Kingman would have a field strip screw for this marker. However, I don't think this should get in the way.
It's very snug. It doesn't appear to shaky or wobbly at all. Aside from that, it is adjustable with 4 distinct positions ranging anywhere from 12-18 inches.
For an avid speedball fan, although the stock could've been a little smaller, say 8-10 inches, I think it feels nice and it wouldn't cause any problems.
The Bolt, Sight Rail, And The Barrel - The marker's cocking bolt is on the top of the gun. Though this is not a very big problem, I constantly found my marker is lowered on my center of gravity and that I would need to be looking down on top of the E-MR1 to have a good sight of the field. But I don't find this to be really annoying.
Overall, I must say that this marker performs pretty well. With a great feel, excellent accuracy out of the box, etc. I'm giving it 2 thumbs up. It carries all of the traditional bells and whistles that Spyder markers became popular with. It's a little loud, but it's very consistent with its shots.
