Well my Spyder Imagine is very loud and I haven't gotten the chance 2 do some upgrades yet. So i'm gunna name some upgrades I think I should get and can some ppl tell me if it's a good or a bad upgrade.....?

1. Remote

2. 12" JnJ Ceramic

3. Compressed Air

I'm getting the remote sometime this week and i'm wondering if I get a new barrel would it quiet down the gun? Also wats the advantages/disadvantages of having a remote? 0? 0? 0?

I wouldnt get a remote, it just gets in the way, and the only advantage is that it makes your gun lighter but your gun should be fine since its a spyder, everything else sounds good

**Ahmadi6490** · August 2nd, 10:52 PM

Well i'm not complaining tht 5 lbs is heavy its just that for woodsball it's kinda in the way when i'm hiding and running and stuff. I also keep hitting it on trees, rocks, ground, etc etc.

Also is a 14" barrel more accurate that a 12"? If so does the 14" get in the way sometimes? 0?

Well if your playing in a real wooded are the cord can get caught on stuff and just get in the way of your arms sometimes

**braka** · August 2nd, 11:02 PM

the difference between 12 and 14 is negligible, unless you're playing mid or back airball i'd say get a 12

to make the gun quieter you want to lower the pressure your gun operates at, do a google search...

**Ahmadi6490** · August 2nd, 11:03 PM

Yeah...I was thinking of that.....but I could put the cord on the inside of my shirt....might look funny. Hmmmm. Or I could watch out where my back goes against.

After getting a 12" Progressive for my Imagine,the marker was much quieter than with the stock barrel. After that I think just lowering the operating pressure will make it quieter (?)

As far as the remote goes, if you think you'll like it, go for it.

i dont think a remote is such a good idea, and the difference in accuracy between a 12 and 14" barrel is almost un-noticable. but for woods, stick with the 12" i have a 14" and it sometimes gets in the waywhen i'm not paying attention to where i'm going. yes, the j&j is a good barrel, but i have the smart parts progressive, and love it, pick which one you want. as for hpa, a crossfire 68/4500 wouuld be perfect, not too big, not too small. but you will need a tank cover with it to protect it from scratches, and dings.

**Ahmadi6490** · August 3rd, 01:17 PM

Ok, thx! Well should I go for a barrel with more porting? I also think i'll choose a 12". Does it lose any range with a longer barrel?

**Ryan_Page** · August 3rd, 02:45 PM

any more then 14" and you lose range and accuracy. because of friction in the barrel.

**Badinflewinse** · August 3rd, 04:35 PM

The thing a remote does is makes it so you dont dont have to carry your tank(obvisouly). And it also helps the co2 expand better. So it comes down to preference.

**Denzil** · August 3rd, 04:54 PM

The remote is preference. The only advantage I see to having a longer barrel is poking your barrel through thick brush. I'd personally go with a 14" since I play a lot of recball. Compressed air would also be a great upgrade especially since you want to quiet your marker. Just be to lower your psi a bit and you should have a much quieter marker. I think a nylatron/delrin bolt would also help.

**Ahmadi6490** · August 3rd, 06:28 PM

Yeah...if the remote gets in meh way sometimes I can always take it off, lmafo.

**JG.** · August 3rd, 10:04 PM

Get a progressive. Great barrel and alot of people have trouble with J&J barrels.

**Ahmadi6490** · August 3rd, 10:21 PM

Well i'll probably choose which 1 is silver and cheaper, lmafo!

**JG.** · August 3rd, 10:25 PM

Progressives are cheaper, and silver.

**Ahmadi6490** · August 3rd, 10:31 PM

Then I might go with that.....it depends on the price at the store i'm going 2 tomorrow or Thursday. Wat type of bolt should I get? I really would like 2 change that. I need something cheap that does not have a venturi. (Yes I know there's a modification for it but I don't wana do it, bad experence)

**Denzil** · August 3rd, 11:24 PM

Well personally the one I want to get for my markers is the one made by Spudnuk'l but I have heard of other ones out there that are just as good but I can't remember them off the top of my head.

**Ryan_Page** · August 4th, 09:17 AM

aka lightning, shocktech supafly, something tigershark, blind bolt... etc, the list goes on.

**caniborrowpaint** · August 4th, 02:50 PM

A new bolt would quiet it down more then a barrel!
