Slow firing Spyder

[Victor six]

I have a Spyder Sonix, completely stock, on 20oz CO2. when I go to chrono, I can't get the velocity up past 220-230 fps, no matter how much screw turning I do! Any ideas as to how I can 'make it faster, mister' ?

And yes, I know 300 fps is the max field velocity, but you all got cars/bikes that go faster than posted speed limits, right?

you need a stonger spring m8,planet sell kits the gold one should do it

However when you hit someone in your car when you are breaking the limit you are off to prison more than likey.
In paintball we try to hit each other all the time.


230 is a bit low though, and as le-pig says you just need a new spring. Just dont go over 300fps mate its not worth it.

You wont go to prison unless its quite a bit over 300fps the legal limit would be around 400fps for a paintball...however, you will be in trouble with your team mates and the site marshals...which could possibly be worse than feedom

Have a look here for sorting out your spyder m8,very useful when playing around with mine (when i had it)

de ja vu anyone? yea a spring is all you need


tha sonix was also my first gun

One thing I found with my spyder is that when not using it, you should dial the spring all the way out so it doesn't get "stuck" (you know what I mean) in its compressed state. Even better would be to take it out over the winter when you're not actually playing for several months.

It takes a few tries to adjust it back to its sweet spot the first time you use it, but it's worth it.



And as John C says.... stay under 300...

Yer i used to remove main spring after each days use figured it was at correct spingyness(wow that was technical)& wanted it to stay that way

 

[le-pig]

why bother dialiing it out,remove strip pin when not in use,put it all back in when you need to use the marker,or is that to easy

 

[QuackingPlums]

Yeah, do that - strip it all out and stick it in an empty pot for safe-keeping. Just make sure you remember which order everything goes back in!
