So, as you all know, I'm getting buried in self-imposed projects. I've got $50. What do you think I should work on/finish?

- Rainmaker: Not entirely in working order, as far as I know (little time to test it) Would be getting a regulator/frame for it.

- <???> 98c: Hybrid knows this one. Still milling, would be getting a battery for it, with 'noid. Need ram 2 wayed.

- Pump Spyder: Entire project shouldn't cost more than the $50 I've got. Most of it is home done. Biggest cost would be getting a Spyder.

Rainmaker would be nice...but could cost more than 50...

The spyder pump might be interesting...I would almost suggest that one

And the tippmann is just kinda silly :-P But it could be cool, but are you really gonna use it?lol

If you knew what I was doing to that Tippy, you'd eat your shoe.

I could get a 90* Evolve Matrix frame for $30 for the Rainmaker, and I don't actually need a reg. I could ghetto rig the frame to the RM with a washer. Mounting the 'noid would be the problem.

Well...Milling...and getting a 2 way bolt...You could make a cool looking gun that would shoot both ways at the flip of a switch...or you could shoot yourself in the foot lol

Gah... tough choice.

Obviously I'm biased towards the second one, but if you're gonna spend 50 bucks only you might as well finish a project with it. Do the spyder.

Ahh in the post that you were sort of dissing people for spamming you said that you had been here a long time ago and you have been looking around here for the past 2 years.  I figured with that much time under your belt you'd know that a two way ram doesn't make the gun shoot both ways.

...lol

Well, to correct, I said I havn't been here in 2 years or so...And honestly I'm a little out of the loop, and clearly have no Idea what a 2-way bolt is, but I was making a joke about it being a blot with 2 sides capable of shooting 2 different ways, which would be interesting...but I digress, I was in no way "dissing" people, I was just saying that in the observations I've made, it still looks like post count seems to very important and some people seem to like to spam

But in the 2 year gap, I pretty much did nothing with paintball, so I really am out of the loop of terms and the new technology lol

Ohhhhhhhhhh....That makes more sense...still not sure what it does...but 2-way bolt sounds kinda cool lol, maybe we should look into that

Anyway, what would go into making a spyder into a pump?

Well, now the 'cocker is my main, but due to some, er, limitations I can't tinker with that right now.

The Spyder pump would take some JB Weld to fill in the blow-back port in the valve pin, dremel the bolt, make a pump handle (PVC, but I can make it less ghetto by using a Phantom pump), pump rod (hangar, or for better results, purchased metal rods). I can ghetto it, or go all out. Either way, I can make it work and look good.

You could get the Matrix frame and an Evil Detonator for right around $50 for your RM.

I still want to know what's going on with the 98c, so I'm voting for that.

O' GOD!

I now have $100ish and really want a 1/2 block cocker (despite the sig...).

I'm adding that to the list of projects to choose from. Bodies are cheap, and dremels are plentiful.
