a few questions

[iplaymindgames]

can someone please tell me the pros and cons of low pressure?

i have a spyder se and would like to keep all the stock parts on it except i want to add a kingman esprit frame, unfortunately the harline hose is too long so it won't screw into the frame, can someone tell me what i can do? i want to keep the expansion chamber because i like the look of it

Generally, low pressure markers tend to be more gentle on the paintball when compared with high pressure markers. You'll usually get fewer barrel breaks and chops with low pressure. In fact, some low pressure markers can be set up so that the bolt simply pinches a ball instead of chopping it. However, with low pressure you also need a greater volume of air to propell the ball than would be required with high pressure. Sometimes that leads to poor efficiency in certain low pressure markers.

I don't know much about Spyders, but I would assume that you can add macro line fittings and use a piece of macro line that is the correct length for your setup.

You have to watch the fittings on spyders, as they use a strange metric standard for most of the gun, not imperial like the rest of the world!

dont waste your money on upgrading the spyder, save it and buy a decent marker. People come on here ask how to uprade a spyder then realise they should have bought a better gun. Also you will have upgraded the hell out of a blowback and then realise it doesnt perform any better than stock.

Trust me save your money and buy a cheap shocker(cheap as dirt now) of jump that and get a impulse. would be well worth it in the long run

Worst thing you can do is try to make a marker low pressure. what you want is efficiency and as a bi-product you will get low pressure operation. If you're hell bent on upfrading the Spyder then AKA do a wide range of parts that will increase your efficiency and thus lower your pressure.

thanks for the responses

i'm going to just replace the spyder and get either an omen or impulse no vision, anyone recommend anything?

 

[evil sharks matt]

get the impy mate, the good thing about imys is you are not limited, you can upgrade it to hell or just leave it as it is. either way it will perform nicley

 

[iplaymindgames]

do you think vision makes a big difference or no?

 

[evil sharks matt]

yes, vision in my opinion is a big upgrade. People will say that if you have a fast enough hopper theres no need but its defo worth having
