piranah vs. spider?

sup chets. i just wanna know what was everyones take on spyders and piranahs. i myself play with a pretty reliable piranah, and i love them. plus they use all of spyder's components. i also love how light pmi makes their markers. what do you think is the best gun to upgrade. obiously a cocker or mag or angel is irrelivant. if i had the money id buy a tricked out anodized E-mag with drop forward and a wicked FREAK barrel system..!!!!! woah lemme catch my breath.

The Piranha offers the same performance and is a lot cheaper at times, doesn't have that stupid offset bottomline screw pattern (Which Kingman should be hung up by holes drilled through their big toes for.), and is indeed as you say a little lighter. Best gun to upgrade? My answer to that is either build a gun from the ground up with everything you want on it, or buy a gun that is the way you want it and don't spend any money upgrading it at all. "Upgrades" these days are either "Hey it'll look maybe 5% better but we'll tell you it's 100% better and take your money and you look like an idiot and we'll go out to lunch and laugh at you " OR "This is the way it should have been done from the start but the designers of your gun were too lazy to think of this...and of course we'll gladly charge you 300% for a hole drilled here and there."

In short, don't fall into the scams and upgrade trails that drain your wallet when you should be using the money on practice paint and concentrating on what's in front of you rather than what's in your hand.

Piranhas blow the Spyders out of the water even though they are very similar Piranhas have a few advatages. PMI has one of the best customer services in the world and are a well known company. Piranhas are a good bit lighter, all Piranhas come stock with rear cocking and double trigger, also the 7 hole venturi bolt that comes with most Piranhas is fantastic and doesn't need to be replaced at all. Over all the Piranhas are just a better gun and also one of the reason Piranhas are better is because Spyders are mass produced and alot of them have defects in the trigger frame. So Piranhas are the shiznit.

i would have to agree that the piranha is the better of the two markers. I am a proud owner of a Piranha and i can say it is very reliable. The only problem is that if you live in the UK, like i do, not many places stock them, so if repairs were needed it may cause a slight problem.

I've never used a piranha, so no opinion there, but I have a spyder Xtra and have found it to be very reliable for not much money. It fires as quick as I need it to and all that I've had to replace is the stock spring. I think it's a good gun.
