good morning all, im a newbie n need sum i mean alt of advise n i got a hole mess of questionz. :confused:

1.i got a Spyder shutter its aiite but it can b better. i plan to go nitro but im wondering if i really need a regulator.

2.the barrel is cheezy as hell no accuracy at all. whats a nice barrel system. i hear lots of things about freaks n boomstiks. im tryin to decide between freak system, empire kit, boomstik, or jt.

3.do i really need a electronic hopper?

firstly, i'm going to give you a bit of advice. rather than going for a nitro system and an expensive barrel etc. buy yourself a bit of a better marker. spending all that cash on a spyder is a bit like putting $50 dollar caviar on a $2 burger. i would reccomend something like a cocker, bushmaster, omen, impulse or shocker all of these are very good markers and you can pick them up quite cheaply, around $150-$400

when you are starting out in air you should probably get a preset air system, these are good andavoid messing around with input pressure etc. and can be put straight ino a marker set up for CO2.

as far as barrels go, something that is good value for money is the aradus barrel by phsychoballistics or the katana (can't remember who makes this). these barrels have a bore matching system where you twist the back of the barrel to match the sie of the paint that you are using, and this gives very good accuracy.

hope it helps :)

yeah, but what we are saying is that with all the money you spend on these upgrades, you could be buying a better marker, and that would be money well spent. i would shoot an impy on CO2 with an AA barrel over a spyder with a boomstick , HPA system and so on.

markers are cheap pver there anyway. try a BKO by indian creek designs, they rip. it would be a very wise investment.

i say stick with the spyder, its a good starter marker, there is no need spending all that cash on supermarker, when uv hardly ever played.
move to a good electo-marker when you move to torny-ball :D

however, an electro-hopper is a must, even if you dont shoot fast it realy helps stop ball chops.

i would also go with the Boomstick, but get one second hand you can get them real cheep for spyders.



(although, ICD BKO rocks ;) )

speed,9v revvys arn't much quicker than gravity fed hoppers,the 12v is far better
you can buy the freak junior for the spyder,wich is the barrel and 1 insert of your choice(you can buy the rest when you can afford them):D
