A fair number of people like theirs, but in my experience and resultant opinion I'd say don't get one. Instead, save up for a marker that has the benefits of an electro that was made as one from the ground up: lower pressure, pneumatic operation rather than blowback, no jams, fewer springs and parts, more reliable, and easier care. For the combined price of your Spyder and an electronic grip you can get a Bushy or Impulse, both of which I would trust twenty to one over a Spyder.

Blowback can mean one of two things. In this context, blowback is the means of operation that the gun. (For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.) It recocks with the force used to propel the ball forward. This of course is bad in two ways. First and foremost the pressure being used to shoot the ball is more than it should need to be but it is elevated to around 850 psi so that equally more force goes back to the bolt to recock. As you know, the more force you put on a paintball, an object you want to be fragile, the more prone to breaking inside the gun it will be. Secondly, recocking with higher pressure means more wear on springs and other small parts.

Blowback can also refer to balls in the feed tube being pushed back up due to excess gas going up the tube after firing. This can cause skips in feeding or chops.

True!

Two days ago i was in a little tournament where I could try angles, and shokers. The paintballs where Tomahak and i had try these balls with my spyder and the ball breaks inside the gun. This is the pressure that you told me (850) i think. I try the same paint with an angel and no problem at all... becouse it has a pressure of 90psi. I anderstand...

low pressure is the clue ;)

Thanks
