The Spyder is an open-bolt, blow-back semi-automatic paintball marker produced by Kingman International, initially released in early 1995. Since the original release, Kingman came out with the Spyder Compact, a slightly smaller variation on the basic Spyder. The paintgun, which received a 4-star rating from PCRI has been growing in popularity ever since.
