spyder xtra upgrades

Hi

What would be some easy upgrade to get for this gun to have it shoot faster and make it more accurate?

also the trigger feels pretty hard, is their a way to make it softer so i can click it faster?

any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

pretty much the only thing thats going to make your Extra shoot faster is an electric frame, which is around $90, you could easily get a Spyder Imagine with the frame for that much

my advice is safe your money, if you want to upgrade your gun get an electric hopper and a HPA tank, all of which you can transfer to your next gun

btw, thanks for posting this is in the right section. Alot of newer members would have posted something like this in the "General Chat" section

For accuracy, start off with a barrel. I bought a 14" Teardrop barrel and it works great. Some people say certain bolts can help with accuracy, I don't know about that...

that barrel looks like it has gotten very good reviews. I'll probably get a hopper to make the balls drop faster.

Anyway to make the trigger lighter?

Thanks

My advice.... Buy parts that you can switch over to your next gun like blue shox said. Buy a drop. a 47 or 68 CI HPA tank. A revolution or an egg hopper. maybe a barrel. you really dont want to upgrade a spyder all that much... because eventually you will probably upgrade. and the resell value on an up'ed gun is not what you would think

I've heard it's possible. I don't know how to do it. I took the trigger frame off the gun and have figured out how it all works for the most part, I just can't seem to figure out how to remove the pins and get in there. A little help please?

Maybe I should make a seperate topic for this...

EDIT: I found this:

It's helpful.

i performed that trigger job on my xtra. helped a ton! I dont see a way you can really lighten it though. Also i have a smart parts barrel (35$) helped accuracy and minimized breaking balls by alot
