These are the pics of my old marker i mentioned i want to sell. When i took them i was also going to take a video of it dry fireing but it turns out there is a leak by a fitting on the steel braided hose, nothing wrong with the gun just the hose. I should be going to play this weekend so i'll bring it with me and see what I can do because i don't want to sell a leaking gun when I know it shouldn't. Anyway these are the pics

Package:


Barrels:



CO2 Tanks:


Marker with CO2, Barrel and Hopper (both 12, 16, and 18")





And just for the hell of it my new gun which is NOT for sale:

Ive been playing speedball (tournament paintball) for over 4 years. The best advice i can give is to 1st decide how serious you are about the sport. If your a rec baller or lookin to get into tourny play. That will help you decide what kinda gear to buy. I have 2 2004 Alias Timmys. Of course all high end markers require compressed air. Electro markers are very good guns if you know the basics about them and like anything take care of them. If you are getting serious bout having a field i would suggest a little research prior. If you invite people then you become liable in many cases.

I had a store for almost 2 years also so any ?s you have send them my way.

For a beginning paintballer the tippman 98 is the best by far. For the money, they are fully upgradeable , low maintenance and almost indistructable!!!

Hope this is of some help for ya!!

well the people im inviting are family and close friends(with the acception of few members on here lol) so i know none of them would do anything as far as if they got hurt holdin me accountable.

Im not goin into tourny play at all, just goin out with friends and things like that. Dont want a tippman...what the word for a paintballer who wants his gun to look nice as well? lol am i a ricer p'baller?

Nice, friends and fam always safe. Just shootin you some input, ive seen bout all the goods and bad of the sport lol.

Now for a gun u said you not much for electros but consider this: look into ions, they are the (ricer) marker right now. The reason i say this is

Price is great $200 average.
They are hella efficient and light very reliable and inexpensive. You get more gun for your $!!!!
Better than low end markers because:
Anti chop eye doesnt fire unless a ball is fully in the chamber so chopping is eliminated 95%
Easy to clean and maintain
Look nice to start plus u can buy body kits lol!!! many colors to choose from

Check out ebay for pics and info be careful what u buy from there but great for reference!!

Only draw back is you will need to buy compressed air tank OR get an anti siphon line for your co2 tanks. This keeps the liquid from entereing the gun!!


Hope this helps!!

K let me see if this helps any

the part directly below where you barrel goes on is most often called a volumizer to explain it simply, its where the air/co2 is stored before your valve release it into the bolt/chamber. You will have a spring and possible a pin lookin piece if you unscrew it

the other one with the hose goin to it is one of two things kinda hard to tel by the pic but either a gas through foregrip or an adjustable regulator

the reg is best for consistancy, and overall the best choice

if its a gas through grip and i think it is it is a chamber that more or less stores air/co2 as well. These are good for co2 though becuase it gives more time for the liquid to become gas when using co2 u dont want liquid goin into the gun, cause all kinds of probs and ruins orings much faster, thus explaining the benefit of comressed air where you have no liquid so its better on your marker and more efficient meaning less velocity spikes

My new gun is a diablo wrath LTD, its simlar to the ION that Richard G was talking about but as he said almost everyone and there mother owns an ION and if I were into that I would be driving a civic and not my tib>

As for the electronic loaders you can find them on ebay. For the spyder i have for sale i would suggest a viewloader revolution because the most this gun can do is 13 ball per second and the viewloader revolution would be sufficient for that. There not that expensive but will definetly help.

I agree 100% that loader/hopper will be more than enough. Anything else would be overkill one thing to watch though::

your marker does not have an adjustable feedneck (part the hopper sits in) so make sure it fights correctly or buy an adjustable elbow ( the part that connects the hopper to the gun) most spyders require these. Sorry kinda hard to tell by the pics but either way that will guarantee good fitment and no movment
