The 08 Electra was a big hit and Spyders were finally starting to get the respect they need, so what does Kingman do? Turn a complete 180 and put all their effort into making pistols - in a different caliber, no less!

They really messed up with this one. They should have improved the 08 Electra design, made it even lighter and tighter, sold it for a good price and made lots of money.

I have an '09 electra and a chaser, and let me tell you, kingman isnt losing any money yet. For $100 less than a tac8, you get an uber efficient closer-to-handgun-size paintball pistol that's as simple as any STBB design. For me, they didn't have to advertise the electra, it sold itself.

Wait, there is an '09 Electra? I missed that, I'm going to have to go look it up.

The Electra is a good buy, but the Chaser/Eraser need to GO goodbye :P

I'm not saying they aren't priced well, I just don't think there's a big enough market for them to warrant all of Kingman's advertising and effort spent...
