I have a spider victor. it looks pretty cool but sometimes it goes wacko on me. What should i do? One time the paintballs i was shooting were going left and right they wern't going within 15 feet of my opponent. was it the balls?or was it that i was using a different barrel i borrowed from a friend? or is it the gun itself? SPIDER VICTOR GOOD OR BAD.

there great begginer guns, when you said that the balls were
curving, u probibly just broke a ball in the barrel wich cases the
ball to curve because it cannot grip to the barrel because there
is paint splatter in it, when this happens just clean it out. but like
i said b4 there good begginer guns

The funny thing is, later when we were done with that game, i checked down the barrel and there was no paint splatter so a ball could not have been chopped.there was also hardly any wind on that day. Whats the deal?

well, if you shoot the gun alot of times it will actually clean the
barrel, if you did brake a ball, but you would of have to shoot
alot. well, you probibly have a loose bore on your barrel, wich
is the width of the barrel, some barels have a tight bore size,
some have a loose bore size. the smaller bore sizes are more
efficiant
since you can get better air efficency, and it wont curve the
balls. if the bore size is a bit big,(wich your friends barrel
probibly was) when the bore size is too big the balls inside the
barrel bounce, wich causes it to curve. so, it probibly was your
frinds barrel.

Thats what it probably was, because i changed back to the original barrel the next day, and I used the same balls. It shot really well. It was probably because my friend has 2 peice barrels that are all different sizes. I may have gotten them mixed up

yup. i suggest to stay with your normal barrel, but if you want a
diffrent on to buy, go to ur local proshop ans talk to them about
the bore sizes

Spyder Victors are really good guns...I have one my self. (click the link in my sig)...

I agree with what their saying about the barrel. Just use the one that came with your gun and try out different brands of balls to see what works the best for you. Eventually you might want to buy a new barrel though

better luck with no kingman or raven product .

but the paintballs contain gelliton, which after alot of shots the gelliton (oily), builds up in the barrel, which will cause lose of accuracy, thats why its good to clean it after each game.

hey brandon, what do you mean the the pieces get loose fast? I've never had a prob with the bolt and pin. The only thing that loosened on me was the trigger frame screws but I fixed that with some teflon

If your having problems with accuracy check some thing that might help.

-Make sure you have a good paint to barrel bore match

-Make sure your barrel is clean

-Check to see if  there are any broken or dimpled paint in the bag you will be using

-If its windy expect that to happen.
