My two new guns

i just bought two new guns(my first two guns). A TL+ and a
E-99. I've yet to go to a field and test these guns but i have shot over 1000 rounds at my house. Before anyone asks wy i want to upgrade the guns without having field tested them yet is because im comming from a home that has many modified cars and i know what mods can do to something. I like how they perform but i need more accuracy and more consistancy. I need to know what kind of upgrades i should start with to increase these aspects of the guns.

Im running CO2 on both guns and everything stock. The TL+ ive seen performs well, as does the E-99 but with the E-99 i notice that after a few shots in full auto, the barrel starts to freeze, and condensation forms, This drops consistancy and accuracy quite a bit. Ive also noticed that they dont shoot too far, i dont know if im asking for too much but i want at least 60 feet of straight shot accuracy from these guns. I dont want to have to shot like 3-5 times the number of shots to hit the same target.

I need to know what barrel, bolt, air system accesories, or new air system, things like that to make this gun better .

In my readings, and just by reviews and posts, i've got the idea that the DYE BoomStick is the best choise for my gun, with the Freak comming in close second. As for the air accessories, an anti-siphon for the CO2 sounds like a good investment. Or i would get a 68ci 4500 nitro tank(for more consistancy and better performance) i was also looking at a revvy but have put that on hold till i know i will need it, cuz since im new, i have little to no rate of fire from my finger :( so im sure i wont be chopping balls till ive played a little more,

so thanx again for reading this long post but i just had to get some answers, um, answered :rolleyes:

a regulator and antisyphon will make it consistent
the freak is going to give a better paint/barrel match
u will need a revvy if u dont want to chop paint above6-7 bps

ok about the paintmatch, i could allways get the paint that fits the boomstick perfetly right? that would make a good paint/barrel match but i want to know which is more accurate? im planning on using diablo blaze balls, will this be good for the boomstick?

also i think im gonna get that anti-siphon but not the reg, cuz ill just get a nitro tank later anyways, i can deal till then.

one more question, someone told me about a mod i can do to my bolt to make it perform better instead of buying a new one, but ill prolly try the mod and buy a new one anyways ill just have the worse of the two as a back up (everyone knows u need like 5 or six of em every time you clean ur gun) ;) why the hell do the bolts get eaten up so damn bad!!!
oh well thanx for ur replies

Very nearly complete list of upgrades and mods for Spyders:Click me
Bolts have to be light enough to move with a relatively small amount of force and so they can get damaged easily. They are slamming back and forth 6-13 times a second(okay maybe not 13 ;) , freezing and defrosting by turns. They take lot of punishment. Keep 'em well lubed or get a delrin bolt.

Now as far as Diablo being consistant to use a Boomer with I would say yes. .689 Boomer worked for me. But there were those few instances where I was breaking paint so I went with a Freak Kit. Now you can buy the barrel, Back and Inserts seperate. I would get .689 and + and - .001 from there or get the KIT! :D

Yep, I always use Blaze but depending on various factors (e.g. how well it's been stored) the size has varied & I've had to use 4 different inserts this year.

ok so i think ill get one of each then, they both 100 a this web site, the freak comes with one back one front and one insert.

about this other thing, ive heard of people converting thier guns to low pressure. Whats the advantage of going low pressure? and what parts do i need to go low pressure if its even worth it.

i just did the bolt mod to my brothers TL+ but i couldnt do it to my E-99, the venturi thingy is too tight. is there an easier way?
