:|: Spyder Xtra review :|:

Well, in the Spyder Xtra kit that I bought, for $140, I recieved a 12oz CO2 tank, a squeegie, a Spyder Xtra, a 200 round hopper, and a mask. I decided to buy some ZAP paint at the store while I was there. I shot out 600 rounds of zap, and 2 broke. I went to the field where they used the higher quality paint, and I shot 1,000. None broke. Out of the box, the Xtra shoots over 300 fps. The stock 12" barrel works very well for accuracy. It also has an expansion chamber when you first get it. It may be hard to find at first, but the gun has sights! (NOT scope, sight rails.) The sights are on either side of the cocker cage. About a month after I bought the gun, the cupseal broke. I took it to the local pro shop, and it cost $15. ($10 for labor, and $5 for the part) I got the gun back, and nothing has been wrong with it since.

Pros
Accurate from stock
Comes with a nice size of co2
Very little chop.
High velocity (where allowed)
Expansion chamber (stock)
Double trigger

Cons
Cupseal
Somewhat loud


Coclusion:
The Xtra is a good gun. It has nice accuracy, nice... everything pretty much. (except for the one time the cupseal went)

doesnt flippn matter how loud it is, only when you play woodsball even then its not that loud enough to know where its coming from and the gun is a piece, its not accurate (compared to some guns you could get $140) you can resell for about 5$. But I guess its good for noobies.

How about before you insult a gun you learn to take care of it? Sounds like you're low on co2, or whatever gas you use. Or perhaps a cup seal/o-ring problem? Happens in any gun from time to time.
