| Why did you put an AGD Flatline tank on your Spyder? Mostly I'm wondering why you spent more on the tank than the gun. Nice stuff overall though. Not a big fan of pistols, other than the PGP2, which is just fun to plink with. Switch the HPA tank to the A-5, and you're all set. |

that spyder has been beaten to death its been through 5 users and the only stock part is the body it dosent need a reg because the tank has a built in reg its a good gun but i still need more upgrade ideas for all three guns ------------- http://img203.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img203&image=kerrypyle0nt.jpg">

| just because the tank has a reg doesn't mean that the gun doesn't need a reg. The reg on the gun regulates the pressure that the gun uses to operate. |

i know that but the tanks output pressure can be completley adjusted and soon im getting a new front for the spyder with a built in pressure guage. its cheaper than a reg and will give me the same thing im looking for ------------- http://img203.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img203&image=kerrypyle0nt.jpg">

double trigger maybe? dunno its all a preference thing u could also think about going low pressure, i did it to my a-5 and i love it (not to mention the LPK looks cool lol) i did this to my old 98c and it works fun, good for saving balls which u like to do... instead of using big heavy 20oz, use small 12 grams, each 12 gram is good for around 30 shots im guesing on the a-5 (this is especially good if u wanna take off ur hopper and use the top half of a pod, which lots of people do) it makes ur gun soooo much lighter... its ur call tho -------------  |

its a 68ci/3k psi not big enough for my a-5 but the spyder is way more efficient than my a-4 so im sticking with my good old co2 tanks

| umm.....saw stock for the A-5? Holster, and 10 round pods for the pistol. Sell the spyder and get a model 98 if all you play is woodsball. |

Just take about 5 minutes and think really hard about how you want each of your markers to look and perform. Then you'll be able to decide what you want for upgrades. This is the only way you'll be able to know what upgrades are best for you. ------------- www.mnmilitia.com http://www.mnmilitia.com/index.php?page_id=37 - ME http://www.mnmilitia.com/forums/ - Our Forum |
