Magazine-fed Spyder: MRX - Page 9

Kingman just posted their MSRP for this as $280...
...but ANSGear.com has them up for pre-order for $230.

Either way, it looks like it will only barely undercut the cost of buying a new BT/Tippmann and installing the Tacamo kit.

Kingman's other 2012 guns are up too.
Looks like most of them have had their looks reworked in some way or another. http://www.ansgear.com/Spyder_Guns_On_Sale_s/2859.htm

once piece barrel on all spyders now.

makes sense. they never came out with extra backs for their 2 piece.

can't justify $230 for that gun. then again i am not the target market.

and it looks like the fenix is the only one still using their extra small body. i wonder why they don't let the other entry guns do it, it works just fine.

Ergonomics maybe? The Fenix puts the grip frame and foregrip awfully close together.

it's not a problem, the reg is a lot longer irl, plenty of space to grab hold.

Kingman has posted a video.
Those of you who have used Milsig/Tacamo magazines, how does the loading and magazine insertion compare?

THE SPYDER MRX™ IS NOW AVAILABLE

January 10, 2012
Baldwin Park, CA - To celebrate 20 years of commitment from the paintball community, Kingman is releasing a commemorative special edition scenario marker; the 2012 Spyder MRX™. Designed to exceed your expectations, the .68 Caliber Spyder MRX™ features the innovative "DLS" Dual Loading System. This unique patent pending system enables you to interchange your loading system with a quick turn of the barrel allowing the user to switch between a traditional upper load feed system and all-new lower magazine feed system during play.

This tactical powerhouse delivers a realistic military look including an adjustable car stock, carry handle mount with sight, a standard equipped Eko™ Valve which offers the most extreme air efficiency available in the paintball market, plus multiple picatinny rails for endless scenario modifications.

The Spyder MRX™ is now available at a very special "Kingman 20th Anniversary" MSRP of $229.99. Visit Spyder MRX - Tactical Scenario Marker from Kingman to watch the Spyder MRX™ YouTube videos featuring a product overview and animation of the "DLS" Dual Loading System feature.

Kingman stands by the same philosophy that has brought us success over the past 20 years, "Pursue the ultimate without paying the ultimate price". Look for the all new 2012 .68 Cal. Spyder MRX™ at your local paintball retailer, or visit us online to locate a dealer near you.

retailers generally sell spyders below the msrp though.

Wow. That magazine design is chintzy as HELL. WTF.

I mean, it'll be reliable, which is good, but they really couldn't figure out a way to release the spring follower when you insert the magazine?

Retailers sell them right at MAP, rarely at MSRP. Which I never understood why they simply dont make the MSRP the MAP.

Anyway, it looks cool, but I think kingman missed the boat with the milsim look. Tippmanns already flooded the market with milsim style markers and they continue to produce and sell them.

I don't know how well the duel loading system will be liked by players. I honestly think it's stupid, why have the look and an operating magazine then a silly hopper on top. Pick one or the other.

I have used both Milsig and rap4 mags (basically the same) It looks as though Spyder copied the deisgn from the tpx! I find that the system spyder uses would not allow for fast magazine change and what a PITA to insert the mag! IMO

Well you don't have to run both at the same time. If this thing was FS compatible I'm sure it'd be an amazing marker. Shoot with the hopper primarily, switch over to a mag when you want FS rounds. That'd be something really cool.

What is the gun made of? Plastic? or Aluminum? Looks like a solid product so far...
