| ok i have pretty much a stock spyder (the dragun TES) but it has a chop eye how do i disengage teh chop eye ( what i did was turn it sound so it always sees black and shoots likea regular gun) but i duno if this should be the way to fix that problem i payed extra for it but it doesnt wanna work. Is there some sort of reg or pressure thing i should add on to make my gun look and preform better. Any tips or off teh wall ideas are welcomed. |

Well, I don't know much about Spyders. This is a Tippmann forum so I don't think you will recieve much help. It could be the chop eye doesn't work because it's a cheap crappy Spyder upgrade. Spyders aren't exactly quality markers, so I wouldn't be suprised if your anti-chop upgrade doesn't work properly. Try the Spyder forum. Sorry I can't be of any help. ------------- I don't go out with girls anymore I live a life of danger I stay at home and play with myself WEEE! I'm a Ranger! |

A new barrel, firstly. That will probably make a definate improvement in accuracy. Make sure to use paint that fits the barrel. Try putting a paintball into your barrel, then looking down the barrel. You should see 3 points of contact of the ball to the barrel. If you can blow the paintball out of the barrel without much force, its a good paint match. A new barrel is always the first upgrade. Lapco and J&J are good, find one that is threaded for the Spyder. ------------- I don't go out with girls anymore I live a life of danger I stay at home and play with myself WEEE! I'm a Ranger! |

Check out Paintballgear.com for some Spyder upgrades. I would recommend getting a Tippmann, but it's your money. If your happy with your gun so far, a new barrel should make a huge improvement. ------------- I don't go out with girls anymore I live a life of danger I stay at home and play with myself WEEE!

Paintballgear.com ; countypaintball.com ( i think has some stuff) actionvilliage.com ( has some ) I would recomment a new gun, sell that off on e-bay, and get a Tippmann ( my opinion ).. I my spyders, and my tippmann has never let me down yet.. My tank has, but not my gun..  ------------- Spyder Imagine 2k4 --- -14" Custom barrel -DOP Xcore 8stage X Chamber -DOP Bullet Drop -12v Revvy w/x board ---- |

| My gun is not used that often why would i go and drop a huge amount of money on a tippmann i do have one as a backup but it was actually a creatioon so i dunno how goo it will work i expect to do work on both guns but i do have a boomstick barrel i just want to see if i can get some tips on a reg or what not i have a drop forward on it as of now but i duno if i should buy some springs or if i should go and guy something for my trigger. It is already a electronic trigger so i dunno how much i can improve it. What paint do you suggest what can help make my gun unstopable.! |

Regarding the 'anti-chop' for the TES, this is what I found: "The anti-chopping eye, which does not allow the gun to fire if there isn’t a ball in the chamber, is a nice touch for the Dragun TES. However, because it is an optic (as opposed to a laser) eye, it may have trouble “seeing” dark paintballs (black, purple, dark blues, reds, and greens) and cannot work in the dark. Get around this by turning off the eye (the TES will rarely chop anyway) by holding the trigger down for 8-10 seconds. Turning the TES off and back on resets the eye function." I don't know if it's adjustable or not. My eblade is uses an optic eye as well, but you can adjust it to the color of paint you're using. Paint suggestion? Well, just read the post above from Exit-Wound about paint to barrel matching. Also do a search on best paints for particular barrels (go to google, enter paint barrel match)...there are hundreds of sites out there that have tables of information. What will make your gun unstoppable? (notice the spelling!) Well, nothing...I'm pretty sure that the gun can be stopped pretty easily. Hmmmm...maybe that's not what you're talking about. Maybe you mean "what would make this gun a dominant force on the field?" The answer to that is simple: the operator. It doesn't matter how many upgrades you put into that gun, what matters is your ability to use it well. So work on your own skills. Go to webdogradio.us and watch the tip clips. 'Tyger' is kind of a dork, but he shows some good drills to work on to become a better player. As far as upgrading your gun, my advice is read as much information as you can and learn as much as you can. On forums you'll get advice from intelligent well-informed players, and you'll also get advice from idiots. The best thing to do is find out for yourself. And finally, a common saying about high rate of fire guns: How many times per second do you need to miss me? |

Some very good advice there. I see too many players who have a marker who's abilities far surpass the abilities of the person holding it. I've never heard that BPS comment though...now THAT'S comedy! ------------- New to the sport? http://www.b17queenofthesky.com/paintball/index.html">
