i owned one up to about 3 months ago, here's what i know
1. they aren't spyder clones, the parts are different sizes, only the barrel is spyder.
2. they need an electronic hopper. get yourself a revvy.
3. you will need a venturi bolt or something similar, otherwise they REALLY chop paint.
even with these upgrades, i would steer clear of winter paint, because the gun does break paint, and the bolt won't actually cut the paint in half, it will just jam.
the DYE excell barrel that i bought for mine worked perfectly, but i reccomendgoing down to wherever you are buying the barrel from and try it on the gun first.
on the good side, the marker is fast, i quite happily got up to around 8/9 bps, which is pretty good for a low end gun. when you put on a new barrel and buy some good paint, the accuracy is quite nice and the gun is reasonbly consistant. it doesn't break very often at all, excet for the aforementioned jamming with winter paint. the LCD screen is quite cool for fiddling with too.
oh yeah, and your hands will love you if you buy some dye rubber grips, as apposed to those nasty plastic ones on the marker. or if you want to still play with the lcd, get some sticky grips.
hope the marker serves you well
