I just got a new Electric Trigger Frame for my Spyder Rodeo and i was wondering if you absolutly needed an electric hopper and/or Nitro tank, the electronic trigger allows me to shoot up to 20bps

**Cockerkid63** · January 14th, 04:51 PM

You dont need HPA on a spyder. It'd be a good investment to get an HPA tank and a Electric hopper, but its not NEEDED on a spyder. When you decide to get more into the sport and get better things, then buy the stuff, but if you don't buy an electro hopper, you're not going to be shooting that fast.

***P41n7b4ll K1d*** · January 14th, 04:54 PM

whats the fastest i can shoot without an electric hopper? i dont plan on shooting 20bps any time soon xD

**Cockerkid63** · January 14th, 04:57 PM

Not sure, if you don't have eyes, which you don't. You're gonna be shooting 5-7 bps tops. Not even a consistent bps.

**doublethreatguy** · January 14th, 04:57 PM

well it depends on if you do 3 shot burst, semi, or full-auto

***P41n7b4ll K1d*** · January 14th, 04:59 PM

well it has 4 settings: semi, burst, a faster burst, and auto. I was mainly asking about Auto

**Cockerkid63** · January 14th, 05:02 PM

Yeah, you're going to chop probably.

**CrazyAzian** · January 14th, 07:18 PM

If you try to shoot fully automatic with a standard gravity fed hopper, prepare to clean out your gun. Cocker's right about them being upgrades down the road. Right now, I'd maybe buy a used revvy just to make sure you don't outpace yourself. You will most likely not to be shooting full auto very much anyways.

**DragonFire0729** · January 14th, 07:25 PM

Another possible choice for you is the Halo TSA, it works for anything around or lower than 13 BPS, I use one on my Ion, and i havent choped a ball yet, but that has eyes...still, I get going pretty fast.

They can get down to around $45 new, for the LED version of the Frontman model

Most (if not all) fields ban any mode besides semi. Therefore if you plan on playing on any sort of organized field you won't be using auto so a gravity feed will be fine. But one of your first upgrades should be an electronic hopper such as a Revvy or Reloader.

Not mine, mine doest give a **** about bounce/ramping/all those goodies

Although they dont allow bunkering unless you approve it with the group playing

Um yeah, get a Revvy/Reloader II

Personally, i have a reloader on my pilot, and it works great.

***P41n7b4ll K1d*** · January 14th, 09:54 PM

I was just planning on a few short bursts here and there in woodsball, you know for like supression and purhaps some sprayin' xD

**doublethreatguy** · January 14th, 10:33 PM

i would still get a revvy, though

no way. spyders have enormis kick when it shoots that would prevent the paintballs to drop correctly with a gravity hopper. you atleast need a revvy.

***P41n7b4ll K1d*** · January 15th, 08:51 AM

whats the cheapest, but yet acceptionately good, electric hopper? Because, i dont want to waste ALL mmy money in one spot.

MitchSm2 · January 15th, 11:26 AM

If u are planing on not copping you should buy urself a ACS bolt from kingman. would be a good investment

**Cockerkid63** · January 15th, 01:36 PM

DO NOT GET A QUANTRUM. Get a revolution or empire reloader 2.

CKY2K · January 15th, 02:15 PM

Get a Anti-Chop Bolt from Kingman and ether get a VL Revolution Hopper(<-----about $65) that feeds 12-13 balls a sec or a Viewloader eVolution II (Egg hopper)(<------about $80) That feeds 19 BPS

buy a used Egg II, make sure it's the new version w/ the fixed battery door and lid (lid is attached w/ pop rivits)

that would be plenty fast for auto which is capped at 14bps on spyder. Or at least, that's what i remember their cap being.

***P41n7b4ll K1d*** · January 15th, 03:00 PM

Well, i just got a Zap Mach 404 electronic hopper, it was $20.00 at Sports authority and it had pretty good reviews, since im not looking for an uber hopper im sure it will be just fine for me.
