I know there is probably hundreds of threads out there saying, "what should I do to my gun to make it less of a piece", but i think those work so I'm gonna do it

so the gun I have is a spyder tl-x i've had for three or four years and i just recently got back into paintball. its stock right now, but i plan to change that. I don't know much about upgrades or what I should do to it, but I'm thinking a barrel and a hopper are good places to start.

yup, for the barrel look into the J&J ceramic, hopper, invert too after those get a HPA tank and a on/off asa, after that if you want more performance get a new marker and take the HPA and hopper with you. nothing else you do to this marker will be worth it

I'm guessing 14 inches on the J&J, thanks

anywhere 12"-16" is personal preference, there is no performance difference, i like 14s they feel nice and balanced with enoufgh barrel to poke through bushes or push down a bunker but not so much that it gets in the way when running around

I like using 10" barrels on my Spyders

**Trbo323** · November 2nd, 10:22 PM

gosh i couldnt, the 12" that came with my mini bugs me, a 10" would drive me nuts

Ah, but Spyders have the area where the barrel screw into about 1.25 inches away from the grip
I use a 12" in my EOS, which has the barrel screw in right where the reg is
I use a 14" on my F8, which has the barrel screw in about 1.75" behind the reg

All for the sake of gun setup's that re as close to eachother as possible

o i see, so the front of the barrel to breach on each of them is essentially the same

i guess all three of mine are pretty close, the dm6 is probably the longest, the mini in the middle and the cocker on the short end
