Description:
A more upgraded variant of the deadly Spider Mastermind, where instead of cybernetic machinery, hell-forged machinery was used to build it. Watch out and be careful about obliterating it, or it will turn you into confetti with its nailgun projectiles.

At the risk of sounding like a wuss, I think this one is a bit overpowered. Even with 200 health and 200 blue armor you are dead within 3 seconds, regardless of distance. Dodging the fast projectiles is almost impossible unless the map has a lot of obstacles to take cover behind, then you can take a potshot or two between its attacks.
Maybe give the attack a random spread so not all shots hit dead center on the player? or reduce the speed, or damage, or all of the above?
I'm just glad it has less health than a Spiderdemon

It's also missing its nailgun firing sound.
For telegraphing purposes, I suggest using the rolling cannon animation before the SSG attack, and not after.
For its regular nailgun attack, make it fire 2 nails per shot instead of 3.
Also its Spawn state should loop, not skip to its See state.

Did you sped up its firing animation? It's ludicrously fast now, it should be like this:
EDIT: You should change its chasing state so it plays the walking sound without getting interrupted:
