The Spyder E-99 is a gun that can perform out on the field, but will not cost you a lot of money. Priced at about $140-160, the Spyder E-99 performs well on the recreational field and can hold its own when used for tournament paintball games.
The Spyder E-99 has an electronic trigger frame with modes of semi automatic, three round, six round, and full auto. It is a double triggered paintball marker with a low pressure chamber and an expansion chamber located in the fore grip. The Spyder E-99 has a vertical feed and an anti-double feed mechanism.

The Spyder E-99 is a fast gun; however its speed can cause you a few problems unless you modify the gun after purchase. Due to its speed, you might end up with a lot of chopped balls. To prevent this from happening, you will need to buy a better hopper to keep up with your marker’s speed. You may also need to use compressed air or a regulator since the Spyder E-99 also tends to chop balls due to spikes of the air pressure. The Spyder E-99 is also rather selective when it comes to the paintballs you use. Cheap paintballs are inclined to breaking when used with the Spyder E-99.
This marker is reasonably accurate; however, you can also do better by upgrading to another barrel and by using another bolt. These modifications can also quiet the gun down a bit.
Taking care of your marker is an essential aspect of owning any paintball gun, and this should hold true for your Spyder E-99. The Spyder E-99 has to be well maintained, clean and should always be well oiled since the internal parts of this marker are very likely to be scratched. The Spyder E-99 is relatively easy to field strip so cleaning it should be quick and easy.
A Spyder E-99 when used right out of the box will only give you a so-so performance. To get the best out of this gun, you will need to do some upgrades. Replace the hopper with a 12 volt electro hopper to avoid chopping. You will also need to replace the barrel and the bolt. To improve the gun’s consistency, try using compressed air instead of CO2 and you should also purchase a regulator for this marker.
