We're not arguing speed. If you're trying to compare the accuracy and build of an Angel to Spyder then you need to stop playing in the woods, and try going to an actual field. If these "imagines" are anything like they used to make spyder's, then they placed the venturi bolt in the upper champer of the frame, which made it ultimately notorious for breaking half the paint that comes out of it. I'm not bashing the company, just these cheap electronic markers that cannot compete with the electro's from Angel, Bushmaster, Automag, etc. Sure, it can fire over 45 cycles per second, but the question is, how much paint is going torwards your target at that speed?
Probably half.

They serve as a great base for tuning and upgradability. There are several upgrade/modding options for the frame - triggers, uncapped boards, anti-chop eyes, grips, and switches.
Again, whoopty fucking doo. They still don't fall anywhere close to an Angel. I don't care how much you do to an "Imagine", you're going to have to worry about getting the paint past the piece of shit venturi bolt in one piece.

Again, the Kingman regulator is a piece of shit. And define "Variety". You make it seem that your FPS readings are going to come up similar to 230, 280, 220, etc. I would give it +-10fps. I don't see any sense in wasting so much money to regulate a mere +-10fps. Most field limits are 300fps, and paint is most accurate around 270-280fps.
And if these guns are setup like they used to, then the air source enters an external regulator, then the expansion chamber in the foregrip, followed by the internal regulator. Velocity readings aren't going to be based on a shitty external reg alone.

Wow, we actually agree. HPA is a better air source, but if you can afford the tank for HPA, then you can most likely afford something better than a rackity entry level electro. And HPA is not "easy to get". You're going to find CO2 a hell of a lot more than High Pressure. If you know where to find it, then it's "easy" to get.
In the end, you just babbled about basic information with way too many words. I commend your efforts.
