Spyder XtraElectronic paintball guns are powered by batteries and driven by tanks of compressed air, creating a very high performance and fast shooting toy. Electronic paintball guns are able to shoot so fast due to the processing contained in a printed circuit board which reacts to the trigger being pulled. It can be surprising just how efficiently these guns make use of their compressed air tanks and how accurately they perform during a game, even to seasoned players with plenty of experience.

Performance and speed are often valued above everything else by dedicated fans of paintballing as any slight advantage in these areas can give them an edge over their opponents. A paintball gun’s accuracy, speed, performance and flexibility are so impressive that they are the nearest thing you will experience to firing a real sub-machine gun. For those players who are just starting out, very high-end electronic paintball guns may be too much to handle, and it may make sense to start out with a mechanical gun to get your eye in and learn the ropes of the game before graduating up.

Electronic paintball guns are never cheap compared to their simpler counterparts, but you will probably find that their initial cost is offset somewhat by the lower repair cost they tend to have. If such a gun does get damaged, however, it will probably need fairly serious repairs given the complexity of electronic circuits – this is not for the amateur to undertake, and it will probably be a better idea to have it seen to by a professional. When using an electronic paintball gun you will have a real advantage over your opponents; it will be hard for anyone to keep up with you when you can launch paintballs at them in response at over forty per second; a speed which is matched only by some of the fastest machine guns in the world!
